It’s unfortunate, but a fact of today’s society is that people are very judgmental when it comes to first impressions and dating. During an online survey of 5,481 singles aged 21 and up, the results determined that the first two things that we rate potential partners on are teeth and grammar. Yes, your dental hygiene is more important than the clothes you wear or the car you drive. One single man’s answered was that “teeth are very important” and that “taking care of your teeth is a good indicator of overall hygiene.” Suppose you weren’t lucky enough to have straight teeth due to something out of your control, like long passed down genetics. You don’t have to keep cursing your grandparents for this unfair disadvantage in society. Dentistry by Design offers various cosmetic treatments to fix your flawed smile including Invisalign in Bartlesville.
How can your cosmetic dentist in Bartlesville straighten your teeth?
Does straightening teeth without traditional braces sound too good to be true? It doesn’t have to be. Dr. Lumpkin and Dr. Brecheisen offer an alternative way to fix the minor flaws in your smile. Invisalign clear braces use a series of practically invisible, removable aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing. The aligners are custom-made just for you and apply a constant, gentle pressure to guide teeth into the correct locations. You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move gradually until they have straightened to their final positions.
Invisalign offers these benefits over traditional braces:
- You experience an immediate boost of confidence knowing your orthodontic treatment is practically invisible!
- Embarrassing metal brackets, wires, and bright elastics stand out against your natural teeth.
- You experience comfortable straightening from custom-fit aligners.
- Your treatment is uncomfortable because forced shifts are caused by frequent tightening appointments.
- You can still enjoy your favorite foods because of the versatility Invisalign offers by being removable.
- You must alter your diet to avoid damage to your brackets, eliminating hard and sticky foods.
- You can keep your dental routine simple by removing your aligners to brush and floss your natural teeth.
- You have a more complicated dental routine that requires additional cleaning equipment.
