Invisalign in Naperville

Dr. Karen Blair is certified to provide Invisalign invisible braces.

Naperville Illinois Invisalign
Invisalign is an alternative to conventional metal braces. They were developed in the 1990s and have become very popular. As the picture on the right shows, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners that are manufactured by computer so that they apply pressure to your teeth that causes them to move. Every two weeks you insert a new aligner, and gradually, over a period of six to twelve months, your teeth are straightened.

Advantages of Invisalign

bullet The most obvious advantage is that people can't tell you are wearing braces. From conversational distance, they are truly invisible.
bullet Since you remove the aligners before eating, there are no food restrictions or problems with flossing or brushing.
bullet They are much more comfortable. There are no metal brackets to irritate your cheek or your tongue.
bullet They are faster. While conventional braces can take two to three years to straighten your teeth, Invisalign typically takes one year or less. Because your tooth movement is computer-engineered, it is much more efficient and therefore faster.

Disadvantages of Invisalign

bullet Because of the high laboratory costs, Invisalign invisible braces are a little more expensive than conventional orthodontic treatment.
bullet They are not appropriate for every patient. Some cases cannot be treated this way and require conventional braces.
bullet Patient cooperation is required. If the patient doesn't remember to wear the aligners or refuses to cooperate, they won't work.

If you have crooked teeth, your teeth can also be made to look straight in just two appointments with porcelain veneers.
