Invisalign® Clear Braces in Potomac, MD

Invisalign® Clear Braces in Bethesda, MD
Invisalign® is a discreet and effective method of correcting cosmetic deficiencies in your smile. Since it does not use any metal parts, it is also considered to be more comfortable than traditional orthodontics. Instead, Invisalign® invisible braces use plastic aligner trays to move and straighten your teeth. Patients interested in clear braces in Potomac, MD can contact Taff & Levine DDS for more information.

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is a type of invisible braces that uses custom made plastic aligners to move your teeth into their correct positions. There are no metal parts or wires that need to be tightened. You simply switch out your aligners every two weeks until the treatment is complete. Invisalign® invisible braces do not interfere with daily life and can be removed easily before meal time or brushing.

How does it work?

We will first need to take x-rays and make impressions of your teeth so that an effective treatment plan can be developed. Once the movement of your teeth has been planned out, a set of custom made aligner trays will be designed and created just for you. You will need to wear these invisible braces all day and night. They can, however, be removed for eating or for brushing and flossing.

Every two weeks you will need to replace your current aligner with the next one in the series. Over time, the aligners will gradually move your teeth into the correct position. You will also need to visit Taff & Levine DDS for checkups every six to eight weeks to ensure everything is going as planned. In most cases, patients need to wear their invisible braces for about a year.

What are the benefits?

Invisalign® invisible braces are made from a smooth and comfortable plastic material. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign® can be removed at will. This makes eating and cleaning your teeth much easier. Since Invisalign® is clear and discreet, nobody will even know you are wearing them!
