Improve your smile without a referral to an orthodontist
Individuals without perfectly aligned teeth make many wishes that their smiles were more photo ready. Unfortunately, most people aren’t born with perfectly aligned teeth. Many patients require orthodontic treatment to improve their smiles and boost their confidence. However, many patients are worried about the cost and timeline of traditional braces. However, now there’s another option that doesn’t require a referral to an orthodontist or traditional braces with brackets and wires.
Dr. Trevor Williams of Williams Family and Cosmetic Dentistry in Brandon, Florida, has received extensive training in orthodontic treatment and provides a range of services to help patients improve the cosmetic appearance of their smiles.
An alternative to traditional braces
Many patients are hesitant to undergo orthodontic treatment because they don’t want metal brackets on their teeth. Using the Invisalign treatment system, patients can gently reposition their teeth using a set of clear alignment trays, that are nearly invisible and offer a number of other benefits:
- Comfort: Instead of sharp brackets that scratch or cut the inside of the mouth, Invisalign uses comfortable clear plastic trays. Patients can wear the trays while working, speaking, exercising, sleeping, and nearly all of their daily activities.
- Removability: While the trays are comfortable enough to wear nearly 24 hours a day, they can be removed while eating or for occasional professional and social events. Many patients with traditional braces complain about not being able to eat their favorite foods during the years of treatment. With Invisalign patients don’t have to give up those favorite food items. Additionally, the trays are removed for brushing and cleaning leading to better overall oral health.
- Less time in the dentist’s chair: With traditional braces, patients need to visit orthodontist monthly to have the wires tightened and brackets checked. With Invisalign, patients follow a predetermined series of trays, swapping one out for the next every two weeks. This means fewer checkups and less time away from work or family.
Invisalign works best on patients who only have minor to moderate misalignment. For more information or to find out if you’re a candidate for Invisalign orthodontic treatments, call Dr. Trevor Williams at Williams Family and Cosmetic Dentistry at (813) 560-0447 today.
