Invisalign® is a great choice for patients who are searching for a more discreet orthodontic treatment option for straightening their smile. Rather than using metal brackets and wires like traditional braces, the Invisalign system uses a series of custom-made, computer-generated plastic aligners to straighten teeth. Each set of aligners is designed to make small changes to the alignment of the teeth. As you switch sets of aligners about every two weeks, your teeth will gradually and gently move to their proper positions. You will also visit our office on a regular basis during treatment to make certain that your smile is progressing as planned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6126609e1e667e2536065b3e/1630504713332-55HWEAEBLN42ZMHW4J61/Invisalign_aligner_with_bright_colors_social_media_image_8_26_2021_9_17_33_AM.jpg INVISALIGN® In Joplin, Missouri - Is INVISALIGN® right for me? In general, Invisalign can be used to treat the same orthodontic issues that are normally treated with braces. Our orthodontist may recommend Invisalign to correct: Crowded teeth Crooked teeth Gapped and spaced teeth Certain problems with the bite, such as an overbite, open bite, underbite or crossbite During your initial visit, we will determine whether you are a good candidate for Invisalign. This treatment is often a good choice for adult patients and others who are interested in a virtually invisible orthodontic treatment. In addition to being discreet, Invisalign aligners are very comfortable because they are custom-made from smooth, thin plastic. The aligners are removable as well, which allows you to easily remove them as needed to eat, brush and floss. We welcome you to call or visit us today to learn more about Invisalign. https://braceplace.biz/faqs daily 0.75 2021-09-20 https://braceplace.biz/financing daily 0.75 2021-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6126609e1e667e2536065b3e/1629905083000-BA7M233UYBZ3S2E7A8C8/care_credit.png Financing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6126609e1e667e2536065b3e/1630506187917-JN0N1LAT8G0X9NDQICUW/unsplash-image-XH2JFgT4Abc.jpg Financing - Our orthodontist and team know that like many people, you and your family may work within budget.

For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene as ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts. For these reasons, ceramic braces tend to be used more on the upper front teeth than on lower teeth. https://braceplace.biz/same-day-retainers daily 0.75 2021-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6126609e1e667e2536065b3e/1630505796800-5TMT5UY3VC348019Y7WV/unsplash-image-wKbWAMlHgNo.jpg Same Day Retainers - Retainers We make all of our retainers in office!

Braces are an orthodontic treatment option that can help you achieve a smile that is straighter and healthier. One of the most common orthodontic treatments available, braces work to improve your smile by gradually, gently realigning your teeth. Braces consist of a system of metal brackets, wires and bands. The brackets are attached to the front of your teeth and are connected to each other through the use of a metal wire and bands. As we adjust the wire, the braces guide your teeth to their ideal positions in your smile. Ceramic braces are also often available, which are the same color as your teeth for a more discreet orthodontic option. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6126609e1e667e2536065b3e/1630505186755-GF6FAPBW9ZKUMUWEVYAL/unsplash-image-hKaYlAF1nDw.jpg Traditional Braces If you have ever wanted your smile to be straighter and more attractive, braces may be right for your smile.
