When a patient wishes for a straighter, more attractive smile, Dr. Armstrong and Dr. Tant may recommend Invisalign® in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Invisalign® is the leading brand of clear aligners, tight-fitting retainers that slip over the teeth. These custom-made retainers straighten your teeth over time. Our dentists will make several versions of your clear aligners and you will receive your new set every two weeks.
Invisalign® has many advantages over traditional braces. Invisalign® is made of comfortable, nearly invisible plastic. Most people will not realize that you are straightening your smile. Braces require visible brackets and wires that may irritate your mouth. Invisalign® aligners are removable. This means that it is easy to brush and floss your teeth, unlike with braces. This means it is easier to maintain your oral health with Invisalign®. Because of the brackets and wires, patients with braces have many food restrictions. With Invisalign®, you can continue eating all of your favorite foods. Dental appointments are less frequent with Invisalign® than with braces. Invisalign® patients only need appointments every four to six weeks.
We invite you to contact our dental office today to learn if Invisalign® is right for you and to schedule your next visit with our dentists.
