Do you have an uneven smile? If you have crooked, crowded, or even overlapping teeth, then we could help with a cosmetic orthodontic treatment. Instead of the usual metal braces, our team can provide even smiles with the Invisalign® system. In today’s blog, your Brighton, MA, dentist talks about achieving an even smile in 2026 with Invisalign® aligners!
The Benefits of Correcting Uneven Teeth
You should consider seeing us for treatment, whether you have minor or more severe cases of misalignment. Uneven teeth, including minor cases, could complicate your ability to brush and floss and lead to an increased risk of complications, including tooth decay and gum disease. There could be imbalance that strains your jaw joints, so you are more likely to develop issues like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). But to ensure a healthy smile, one with improved bite function and one that is more attractive too, we could correct your misalignment with a clear and comfortable orthodontic system, one that helps teens and adults alike.
The Invisalign® Treatment Process
How does Invisalign® work? With this treatment option, our team will forgo the use of metal brackets and wires completely. Instead, you will receive a series of clear aligners, each one custom-made for your smile. You wear a set of them for a specific amount of time each day, usually between 20 and 23 hours. After about two weeks of this, you move on to the next set in the series and continue the process as your smile is gently and gradually corrected. With results possible in as little as one year. You have fewer office visits, the aligners are easy to clean and care for, and you can remove them too! Being removable means you can take them out for meals, no need to change your diet, and being removable also makes brushing and flossing easier, so you avoid poor oral health during treatment.
Crafting Your Custom Aligners
How do we create the custom plastic aligners that help correct your smile? To start, we will take detailed images of your smile from multiple angles with an intraoral camera, and combine these images to create a 3D impression of your entire bite. We send this information to experts, which will use this in a lab setting to create your aligners from a clear and BPA-free plastic material. You then enjoy smile correction that is practically invisible!
