Why is it that the smile of a child with a mouthful of metal brackets and wires is so cute, but the same smile on an adult… well, not so cute? Nevertheless, as an adult, you may still want to have braces in order to straighten your teeth for a smile that is more attractive and appealing. Fortunately, there is a way to do that without the distraction and hassle of traditional metal braces. Dr. Ziyad Maali at Sand Lake Family Dental in Orlando, FL, offers two “clearly” preferable options.
FOR INVISALIGN, ORLANDO TRUSTS DR. MAALI
Invisalign, as the name hints, moves your teeth into their proper alignment almost invisibly. With clear plastic aligners, Invisalign makes it easy for you to go about your day of work and play without worrying about the look of traditional metal braces. Moreover, Invisalign clear braces are removable. So, you’ll be able to eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and occasional snacks and not worry about breaking a bracket or having a wire come loose. And, of course, you’ll be able to brush and floss your teeth every day as you usually do, which is a great advantage during orthodontic treatment.
Dr. Maali is an Invisalign Preferred Provider, so you can be certain you’re receiving the best orthodontic care. He will first appraise the health of your teeth and gums. Anything of concern will need to be taken care of before your orthodontic treatment begins. Then, Dr. Maali will develop a treatment plan that the Invisalign lab uses to fabricate your custom aligners. These arrive in our office as a series of sets. All you do is wear each set for about two weeks and then move on to the next set in the series. Of course, Dr. Maali will need to see you occasionally to track your progress. After about one year of treatment—considerably less time than with traditional braces—you’ll have a new, straight smile.
CLEARCORRECT BRACES ORLANDO LOVES
Similarly, ClearCorrect also uses clear aligners to gradually move your teeth little by little until you achieve the new look you’re after. Dr. Maali will send impressions, photos, and x-rays to the ClearCorrect lab where a computerized treatment plan is developed to precisely guide the manufacture of your ClearCorrect aligners. Except for when you eat or drink, brush or floss, you’ll wear your aligners all day and every day. As you progress through treatment, you’ll notice your teeth begin to align.
