Dr. Alan Dilsaver, DDS of Lehigh Valley Smiles in Easton, PA Straightens Smiles with Invisalign

Straight teeth are a smile quality that many of us desire, but the thought of wearing metal braces puts a damper on that dream. However, dental patients in the Easton, PA area no longer need to worry about metal braces, because Dr. Alan Dilsaver, DDS of Lehigh Valley Smiles utilizes Invisalign.

Invisalign is a teeth straightening system that uses a series of clear plastic tray aligners to straighten teeth. They are able to be used for many of the dental issues that traditional metal braces can; including overcrowding, gapped teeth, crossbite, underbite, overbite, and openbite. The plastic is clear and smooth, so the aligners are nearly invisible. The smooth plastic is BPA-free and a lot more comfortable than metal braces which can cut up your cheeks and create callouses.

The aligner trays are made from impressions of your teeth. Every 2 weeks, new aligners are put in with a slightly different form. Over the duration of your treatment, your teeth gradually shift into their directed place. The aligners are able to be taken out at any time. It is recommended to wear them for twenty to twenty-two hours per day; you take them out when eating and brushing your teeth. This is another large convenience factor over metal braces. You will not need to avoid any foods and you can continue to brush and floss normally.

Treatment duration depends on each specific case, however for adults treatment time is typically one year. For teens, treatment time is similar to the time it takes for metal braces; about two years.

If you are looking to straighten your smile but do not want to deal with irritating and noticeable metal braces, Invisalign may be the perfect option for you.
