Why Many Tampa Patients Choose Invisible Alignment with Invisalign Braces
Brandon, Florida area patients thinking about straightening their smile may hesitate due to the common recommendation of orthodontic treatment. However, Dr. Trevor Williams may have a different approach. Instead of using metal brackets and wire braces to realign the teeth and bite, a treatment known as Invisalign, or “invisible braces,” may be the solution for you!
What is Invisalign?
Dr. Trevor Williams of Williams Family and Cosmetic Dentistry describes Invisalign as “invisible braces.” These braces eliminate the need for traditional metal brackets and wires. Instead, they utilize clear plastic trays that are custom-made for the patients based on impressions digitized into software and used to create a series of appliances. Each tray made in a patient’s series will be worn for two weeks at a time before moving on to the next one. The trays are simple to remove for eating, brushing, and flossing and need to be worn for at least 22 hours each day to see the expected results.
What are the Advantages of Invisalign Orthodontics?
Invisalign treatment offers several advantages over traditional braces:
- Invisalign is more discreet – because the aligners are clear, they are less visible than braces. This makes them a popular option for both adults and teenagers alike.
- Invisalign is more comfortable – since the aligners are made of plastic and fit snugly against your teeth, they cause less irritation than braces.
- Invisalign is more convenient – you can remove the aligners when eating and brushing your teeth, whereas, with braces, you have to keep them on at all times.
- Invisalign is more effective – studies have shown that Invisalign is more effective than traditional braces in treating certain types of bite problems.
- Invisalign allows for better oral hygiene – with traditional braces, you are always working around wires and brackets to brush and floss. With Invisalign trays, you remove them and brush and floss as usual.

Am I an Appropriate Candidate for Invisalign Orthodontics?
Because the aligners are nearly invisible, Invisalign is an excellent option for adults and teenagers who desire to improve their smiles without wearing metal braces. However, not everyone is a good candidate for Invisalign. The best candidates for Invisalign are adults with mild to moderate misalignment of their teeth. Invisalign might not be appropriate for you if you have severe misalignment, extensive crowding, or certain bite problems. If you’re not sure whether Invisalign is right for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Trevor Williams of Williams Family and Cosmetic Dentistry for an evaluation. He will be able to assess your individual needs and recommend the best treatment option.
