Milford Dentist: What Do You Know About Invisalign?

A recent study conducted by Wakefield Research at the behest of the American Association of Orthodontists revealed that over a third of Americans are unhappy with their smiles. Misalignment is a common reason people feel self-conscious about their teeth. Thankfully, at Sensitive Care Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, we provide a practically invisible solution to dental misalignment. Invisalign allows your Milford dentist, Dr. Mitchell I Quintner, to correct misalignment and close gaps between teeth. In today’s blog, Dr. Quintner uses a quiz to illustrate the benefits of Invisalign for smile improvement.

Invisalign Clear Braces Quiz

1. True or False: Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners instead of metal braces.

2. True or False: Patients don’t need to avoid certain foods or alter their diets with Invisalign.

3. True or False: Invisalign requires fewer office visits.

4. True or False: Invisalign aligners are comfortable.

Answer Key

1. True. Instead of traditional orthodontics, such as wires and brackets, patients wear a series of aligners. Approximately every two weeks you will upgrade to a new set of aligners as your teeth are gradually and gently repositioned. Simply wear the aligners for between 20 and 22 hours a day and in about a year you can obtain a gorgeous new smile.

2. True. Since the aligners can be removed, there is no need to worry about food becoming stuck in braces or damaging your orthodontics. Removable aligners also make brushing and flossing your teeth easier, improving oral hygiene and reducing the risk of teeth stains.

3. True. In most cases, patients only need to see your Milford cosmetic dentist once every six weeks, saving both time and money.

4. True. Since our aligners are custom-made from plastic, patients using Invisalign rarely report the gum and cheek irritation often experienced with metal braces.
