Invisalign
Invisalign (Clear or Invisible Braces) Dental Treatment in Newport News, Virginia
Perhaps the most popular way to have teeth moved is with Invisalign. In this method clear aligners are used to move teeth where they belong. Advanages of this method include the fact that they are clear, making treatment virtually undetectable to others, and also the fact that teeth are much easier to clean during invisalign treatment than they are with bands and brackets on the teeth.
There are some limitations to Invisalign treatment. First, it cannot be used for all treatment needs. If the amount of tooth movement is extensive, conventional braces are a better option, because more tooth-moving force can be generated when attachments such as bands or brackets are attached to the teeth. Secondly, the movement that is attained with Invisalign is not as precise as that obtained through braces. However, because of all the advantages, Invisalign can still be the method of choice for many situations.
