Studies have shown that patients with straight teeth are perceived as more successful, attractive, and self-assured. What’s more, a straight smile is actually better for your health. Crowded or widely-spaced teeth can make it difficult to keep teeth and gum cleans, putting patients at greater risk of tooth decay and gum disease, in addition to problems in the rest of the body.
But if you’re a busy professional, braces may seem like they’re out of the question because of how they might affect your image. That’s why Dr. Sasson’s Boston Smile Center & Laser Dentistry offers Invisalign clear braces. With Invisalign, patients can straighten their smile comfortably, with nothing more than a series of custom-made, clear aligners.
Your clear Invisalign aligners will be made just for you by the Invisalign lab, with each set designed to bring your teeth closer to their ideal alignment. There are absolutely no wires or brackets. Instead, you’ll just wear each set for approximately two weeks and 22 hours per day.
Because they removable by the patient—just like a retainer, athletic mouthguard, or nightguard—Invisalign’s aligners can be taken out to eat, brush, and floss. They can also be taken out for special events. Let’s say you have to give an important presentation at work, or you’ll be meeting a loved one for dinner. You can simply take your aligners out for your special event, and then just slip them back on when you’re done. It’s as simple as that.
Because Invisalign doesn’t have any brackets or wires, you don’t need to come into Boston Smile Center & Laser Dentistry to have anything tightened. Instead, you’ll just need to come in about ever four to six weeks so Dr. Sasson can check your progress.
Straightening your smile with Invisalign takes about 12 to 18 months. During that time, you can rest assured that you’ll finally have the smile you’ve always dreamed of, and without sacrificing your professional image, putting your social life on the backburner, or giving up on the foods you love.
