Are you afraid to straighten your teeth because you don’t want embarrassing metal braces (“metal mouth”) or the issues with not being able to brush or floss properly with them on? Invisalignâ is one alternative to traditional metal braces that is clear and nearly invisible to your clients, coworkers, the ladies at the club, and the kids. The product consists of a series of plastic trays to be worn in the mouth, which gradually reshapes your teeth.
You can remove the trays when eating and brushing teeth, but must be careful to remember to put them back in! You need to continue wearing the trays for at least 20-22 hours a day. If this regiment is not followed then it will take longer and new trays will have to be made which can cost extra money.
Dentists such as Dr. Robert I Schwartz, a top New York dentist has found Invisalign to be just as effective as braces, and the costs are comparable but with the added benefit of them being “invisible”.
