Straighten
your teeth
 Andy is 33-years
old and has never married. "I am what you could
call a geek. I never thought much about having a
conventional relationship,
marriage, family, etc., until I met Keira. I
did not realize
love could be so much fun. So as you can
guess, I never took care of myself. Now I need
to get a makeover all the way from some
skincare to learning to
apply moisturizer to looking younger again.
I would also like to straighten my teeth -
something that I don't like myself and Keira has
hinted as well. I am not sure if braces are for
me but what about Invisalign?"
For most people
(particularly when they have passed the age when
braces are common), the idea of having a mouth full
of metal brackets and wires
from traditional braces drives them away from
getting the straight teeth that they want. From
children to adults, people dread the thought of
needing to have their beautiful teeth covered up
with a bunch of metal. For children, this can mean
teasing and name calling from other kids at school.
For adults, losing their professional appearance is
not something to look forward to. If for any of
these reasons the idea of braces sounds scary or you
are already a grownup and feel embarrassed to wear
braces, the best option is Invisalign - clear
acrylic aligners that are virtually invisible to
others.

Many
cosmetic dentists like Dr. Sands in Beverly Hills,
California, use Invisalign to provide their patients with
the beautiful straight smile they want. These clear braces
can correct mild to severe spacing and crowding problems
that many people suffer from. "My patients love Invisalign
clear braces because they can get the straight smile they
want without compromising their beautiful smile with the
metal from traditional braces," says Dr. Sands.

How does Invisalign works?
Invisalign provides a series
of aligners that will gradually shift teeth so that they
are left straight and free of metal. These aligners are
virtually invisible, allowing life to be continued without
the self-consciousness associated with a smile with metal
all over it. |
The process is very simple.
After scheduling an initial consultation with a
cosmetic dentist, they will discuss what results are
wanted and if this is the best treatment option. Then, the
dentist will make an impression of the teeth and send it
in the Align Technology. (Related:

Using 3-dimensional computer
imaging and the specific instructions from the dentist, a
series of aligners will be made to shift the teeth into
position one step at a time. The aligners are then sent
back to the dentist. These aligners are designed to be
worn for a minimum of 20 to 22 hours during the day. They
are also removable so that eating and brushing can
continue as normal. Each Invisalign aligner functions as a
step in the entire process of providing a straighter
smile. Each aligner is worn for two to three weeks, at
which point it is replaced with the next aligner in the
series. The result is a beautiful, straight smile that
didn't require years of traditional braces.
