Everyone cares what they look like, adults and teenagers alike. But for teens, wanting to look their best is just part of being in high school. All of us, when we were teenagers, wanted to look our best.
Back in the day, if we wanted straighter teeth, that meant bulky metal braces. But that’s not the case anymore. Dr. Christopher Louie at Louie Family Dentistry has a solution for anyone wanting a straighter smile without having a mouth full of metal: Invisalign clear aligners.
Teens who don’t want to go with metal braces might put off even thinking about orthodontics because they just don’t want to deal with that. It’s a real concern because a lot goes into wearing metal braces. But Invisalign aligners are almost invisible. It’s easy to get the straight smile you want without making those sacrifices.
One of the things Dr. Louie’s patients love most about clear aligners is that they can take them out when needed. For example, you can remove Invisalign for:
One of the problems with wearing braces is that it’s harder to take good care of your teeth. Brushing is a little awkward, and flossing feels like an entire production. Some dentists even recommend a special mouthwash. But with Invisalign, you don’t have to worry about all that. You just take them out, take care of your oral hygiene, and pop them back in.
Invisalign aligners are made of a smooth thermoplastic material and fit snugly over your teeth. There aren’t any sharp brackets that are going to poke the inside of your cheeks. No wires jabbing into your gums. With metal braces, it’s pretty common to experience soreness from adjustments and irritation from broken wires. The smooth material Invisalign is made of eliminates all those issues.
People with braces have to go to the dentist pretty often for tightening and adjustments. But with Invisalign, you only have to go every couple of weeks to pick up your new set of aligners. When you’re there, Dr. Louie will check in on your progress, but your appointment will be a lot shorter.
Before you ever wear your first aligner, Dr. Louie will map out the whole process with digital tools. And best of all, before you even leave the office that day, you will see how your smile is going to look when your entire treatment is done.
