The Science of Straightening Teeth
Straightening crooked teeth is the main focus of all orthodontic treatment. With traditional braces, this is achieved using brackets that are bonded to your teeth and an arch wire that connects them. Tightening the arch wire generates the pressure necessary to gently realign your teeth, until all of them are aligned properly and your bite can function more efficiently. Invisalign® aligners have the same goal of correcting your tooth alignment, but they achieve it by using their shapes to gently guide teeth into place. Invisalign® in Tucson involves a series of aligners that are designed to move your teeth to a certain degree, with each successive aligner picking up where the previous one left off.
The Benefits of Invisalign® Aligners
Straightening crooked teeth is beneficial for many reasons, including reducing your risks of tooth damage, decay, and more. Yet, choosing Invisalign® clear aligners to straighten your teeth offers several additional benefits compared to traditional orthodontics. For example:
- Your aligners will be nearly invisible, offering higher confidence and discretion throughout your treatment.
- Invisalign® doesn’t involve bonding anything to your teeth, making your treatment more comfortable.
- You can remove your aligners to eat, brush your teeth, and floss more conveniently than you can with braces.
- You won’t have to worry about periodically tightening any wires, which means your routine maintenance visits will be less frequent.
