If you’ve always longed for straight teeth but don’t want to face the months of discomfort involved in traditional metal braces, you may be thinking of Invisalign. Patients in the Annapolis area should contact The Annapolis Center for Dental Health and Wellness, where Dr. Vernon L. Sheen, D.M.D. and his staff will tell you if the Invisalign system is right for you, and give you full details about the process and its benefits.

Straight teeth look attractive, and also improve your overall dental health and prevent future problems. Invisalign is a revolutionary process that straightens your teeth in a gentle, effective series of steps without the drawbacks of traditional metal braces. It can be used to correct common problems such as overly crowded teeth, widely spaced teeth, overbite, underbite and crossbite. Not every orthodontist can provide Invisalign treatment, as it is a specialized process requiring specific training and the completion of ongoing educational requirements.

The Invisalign process consists of a series of thermoplastic aligners made specially for you. You wear each aligner for about two weeks, and it gradually shifts your teeth into a better position. With each new aligner you will get closer to your perfect smile. The aligners are virtually invisible, and have smooth edges so they don’t irritate the inside of your mouth. They can be removed to brush and floss your teeth, eat and drink, and for special occasions. You will visit The Annapolis Center for Dental Health and Wellness regularly so that Dr. Sheen and his staff can check that your teeth are shifting in accordance with your customized treatment plan.

Patients love Invisalign because it’s comfortable and easy to live with, unlike metal braces that often cause pain and irritation. Because the aligners are easily removed, there are no issues with food stuck in the braces or gum disease caused by difficulty in brushing and flossing. What’s more, because the improvement in the position of your teeth begins very quickly, people will soon begin to notice your new smile even when you’re wearing the aligners! And you can take them off for parties and other special occasions.
