Straight Teeth Contribute to Good Oral Health

Let Our Team Help

Invisalign Pacifica, CA

Your smile is one of your greatest personal assets, especially when you want to have a presence in today’s hectic world of the internet and social media. However, if your teeth are crooked or they overlap, you might feel self-conscious about sharing your smile, which impacts how you interact with other people.

Straighter teeth can provide a more beautiful smile, and they also make it easier for you to brush and floss, promoting better dental health. In addition, when you can easily keep your teeth clean, you can avoid common problems like tooth decay, gum disease, and cavities.

When your bite is aligned properly, it is more comfortable for your jaw joint (TMJ). In addition, bite alignment can alleviate teeth grinding, popping, clicking TMJ, and even painful headaches.

Straighten Your Teeth With Discretion

Many adults consider straightening their teeth, but they don’t like the idea of wearing metal braces for months or years. If that’s the case for you, Invisalign might be ideal for your needs.

Instead of using metal braces, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners. Clear aligners are smooth and hardly noticeable, so they’re straightforward to wear, and adult patients appreciate the ease and discretion they provide.

The Additional Advantages of Invisalign in Pacifica

Besides being virtually invisible, Invisalign aligners are comfortable since there are no pokey wires or brackets to irritate your cheeks, lips, and gums. They also don’t interfere with talking or any of your other daily activities, so none one will ever know that you’re straightening your teeth.

Because your aligners are removable, you can easily take them out when it’s time to brush or floss your teeth or enjoy meals. Removable aligners mean that you have no restrictions to your diet or changes to your home care routine required during your treatment. You can even take them out for the occasional important meeting or big event if you need to.

As long as you are compliant in wearing your aligners for at least 22 hours every day, you’ll be able to complete your treatment promptly and as planned.

How Do I Get Started with Invisible Braces in Pacifica?

Invisalign works well for most patients, but unfortunately, it can’t correct complex bite concerns. If you’re interested in determining if you’re a good candidate for invisible braces, our dentists will do an evaluation. They’ll take x-rays, photos and perform a thorough examination to help you decide if Invisalign is the right path for you to reach your smile goals.

If it is, they can use 3-D imaging to show you what your straighter smile will look like when it’s finished. If Invisalign isn’t right for you, they’ll discuss other treatment options that might be right for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can Invisalign straighten my teeth?

When it comes to discreet orthodontics, Invisalign clear braces are perhaps the most popular. For years, Invisalign has swept the dentistry world by storm with its innovative aligner technology and enhanced comfort. Teenagers and adults often desire an inconspicuous solution to rectify their smile, and Invisalign is often the first thing that comes to mind.

Dr. Ryan Henspetter is an Invisalign dentist in Pacifica, CA, who can help you achieve a straight, symmetrical smile. The aligner trays are customized to fit your unique oral anatomy and orthodontic needs.

Typically, patients wear a set of aligners and graduate to a new, tighter set every two weeks. The aligners gradually straighten your teeth into the proper position, correcting imperfections and aligning your bite.

We recommend wearing Invisalign aligners between 20-22 hours each day for the best possible results. You can remove the aligners to eat and brush your teeth, so your smile doesn’t collect bacteria and stains.

Your dentist will recommend wearing a retainer to maintain your newly improved bite when your treatment is complete.
