How many times have you hidden your smile because you felt uncomfortable with your teeth? If you're feeling self-conscious about your smile, it may be time to look into Invisalign.

As professionals, we see this nearly every day. Of course, your smile is important to you. It's important to us as well and we know that a person's smile is part of their first impression upon others. If you're not confident about your smile then it's time that you should be!

There have been many advances in the art of dentistry and it's now possible to have a beautifully corrected smile without the need for the more traditional metal braces. Many adults have shied away from having straighter teeth because they have felt that they were too old to have braces seen on their teeth. Now, adults from the ages of 20 to 60 are having their teeth straightened with the use of Invisalign because they're virtually invisible!

What Is Invisalign?

To put it in the simplest terms, they're invisible braces! With the use of plastic aligners, your teeth are guided into the proper places. These transparent aligners are created just for you and fit snugly over your teeth. Once you have the aligner on, you can't even tell that they're there!

What Can These Invisible Braces Fix?

Capitol Hill Seattle Dentist in Seattle can fit you with Invisalign to help you with overlapping teeth, crowding, and even twisted teeth. They're also a great way to help you fix that gap between your teeth!

What Makes Invisalign So Great?

Unlike normal braces, Invisalign can be removed when you're eating. This means that while you work on straightening your teeth, you don't have to have food restrictions! You won't have to miss out on things like carrots, popcorn, gum, and, apples

Instead of having to worry about brushing around the brackets of regular braces, you can simply brush and clean them according to the dentist's instructions.

There's also no tightening of braces involved when you choose to use Invisalign. You will normally receive several sets of the aligners at one time to switch out at the appointed time. This means that you will have far fewer office visits to deal with!

More Than Cosmetics

Straightening your teeth is sometimes important for more than just cosmetic reasons. If your teeth are too close together and you're unable to clean between them, this can lead to other oral issues down the road. It's far easier for teeth to end up with cavities and even decay when they aren't in the proper alignment.

When you come into the office for your screening and consultation, the dentist will cover everything that you need to know prior to you making your decision.

Choosing to perfect your smile and take better care of your teeth is the best choice that you can make for your oral health. Whether it's Invisalign or the need for a simple dental cleaning, there's no need to delay. Call us today at Capitol Hill Seattle Dentist, located in Seattle, and let our family welcome yours!
