Invisalign Dentistry In Sandy, Utah

Many people want to improve their smiles in Sandy City, Utah. For some people, typically if you are younger, you may think that getting oral braces is the only the way to straighten your crooked or unaligned teeth. Thanks to today’s advancing technologies in orthodontics and dentistry we are prepared to offer a new, less visible solution to traditional metal braces; Invisalign.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an alternative to typical metal braces that still performs the same functions of straightening and aligning teeth. Invisalign is a very special clear mold of your teeth that functions in fashion very similar to a retainer.

One of the greatest things about Invisalign is that it is clear. While you are wearing it, most people won’t even be able to tell that you are wearing something that straightens your teeth.

Who Can Use Invisalign?

Generally speaking, the minimum age for wearing Invisalign is 15 years. A consultation with us at our dental office in Sandy City, Utah is recommended before considering Invisalign, however the majority of people can use them for correcting their teeth. People of all ages are choosing to use this form of dental correction as opposed to the old, metallic counterpart.

How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign works in a very similar way to braces. The way in which they do this is that they gradually shift the position of your teeth over time. By choosing Invisalign you are receiving a series of aligners whose shapes gradually change. Roughly every two weeks you replace the aligner with a new one and it’s that simple.

Although we look forward to your visits, we understand that frequent dental appointments isn’t something you look forward to. The Invisalign system makes appointment less frequent, less painful, and less inconvenient. Our Sandy City, Utah location provides a full Invisalign service and can assist you in both your consultation and fitting for Invisalign.

Six Month Smiles

In addition to Invisalign, a similar service we provide is Six Month Smiles. This is retainer-like aligner that can barely be seen at all that is used to correct your teeth. The majority of people who choose this service don’t need their teeth realigned completely and may just want to close a few gaps in their teeth.

Six Month Smiles is used for a variety of dental cosmetic corrections and typically has a maximum time of 6 to 9 months (hence the name). The way this works is that it alters the appearance and position of teeth that show when you smile rather than attempt to alter the position of your bite the way braces and Invisalign does. These are almost identical in appearance and are a safe and convenient way to let your true smile shine through. We can provide you with both Invisalign dental correction and Six Month Smiles cosmetic dentistry call us today and get started on letting your true smile shine through.
