Invisalign Clear Braces in San Ramon, CA
Invisalign Clear Braces are a system of clear, plastic aligners designed specifically for your smile. Over time, the aligners apply pressure to your teeth and encourage them to shift into a straighter position. About every two weeks, you will switch to a new set of aligners until you have completed your treatment plan. The aligners are removable, meaning that patients can take them out to drink, eat, or brush their teeth. Invisalign Clear Braces offer patients a wide range of benefits when compared to traditional braces including
- No Metal Brackets or Wires
- No Dietary Restrictions
- No Additional Steps in Your Oral Hygiene Routine
- Less Time Spent in the Dental Chair
- Designed For Patient Comfort and Convenience
- Teeth-Grinding Protection
What Orthodontic Concerns Can Invisalign Treat?
Invisalign Clear Braces are meant to help patients who suffer from mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. Clear aligner technology has been improving over the years and can correct many orthodontic concerns that once would have been too complicated for this form of treatment. However, for moderate to severe orthodontic concerns, we may still recommend braces. Our office offer Clarity Ceramic Braces as another discreet alternative to traditional braces for patients who cannot be treated via Invisalign. Dr. McElroy can discuss the differences in these two treatment plans with you at your next appointment and help you determine which one will work best for you.
Am I A Good Candidate For Invisalign?
Invisalign can help both teen and adults achieve their dream smiles. In fact, it can be used to address a wide range of dental concerns including overbites, underbites, crossbites, and large gaps in your teeth. However, some orthodontic cases may require more extensive solutions in order to correct some major alignment problems. The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign would be to schedule a consultation with Dr. McElroy. He will evaluate the current condition of your smile’s alignment along with your gum and jawbone health to determine if Invisalign is right for you.
