Invisalign
in Gulfport, Biloxi & Pascagoula, Mississippi
Invisalign is a type of orthodontic clear, invisible braces that uses custom-made plastic aligners to align your teeth instead of traditional metal braces which use brackets bonded to your teeth with wires running through them to align your teeth.
Invisalign clear braces are a good option for you if you have problems such as:
- Crooked teeth
- Crowding
- Malocclusion (bite problems)
- Spacing issues
Invisalign invisible braces offer many advantages over traditional metal braces including:
- Faster results
- Fewer orthodontic office visits
- Invisibility
- Comfort
- Better oral hygiene
- Removability
With Invisalign you will typically be able to align your teeth in the same amount of time as traditional metal braces. You will also spend less time in the orthodontic office, because you only visit Dr. Elenbaas and/or Dr. Alexander about once every six weeks to make sure that your teeth are moving properly and pick up your next set of aligners. Traditional orthodontists usually see you once a month.
One of the biggest advantages to Invisalign braces is that they are made of clear plastic so they are virtually invisible to other people. They are also more comfortable than traditional braces because they are made of smooth plastic, so you won't get poked with irritating wires or get sores in your mouth from pesky brackets.
Another big advantage of Invisalign braces is that since they are removable you can practice better oral hygiene. You don't have to figure out how to get your floss through wires so that you can reach between your teeth.
Also, because your aligners are removable you are able to eat normally without getting food stuck in all the metal and wires. You just brush and floss and then place the Invisalign shell back over your teeth. It is a lot simpler than traditional braces.
