Last week, we discussed the importance of straight teeth. Today, we thought we'd follow-up and discuss one of the best ways you can accomplish a straight, beautiful smile:
Invisalign.
If you're wondering what Invisalign treatment is really like, and what effect it will have on your day-to-day activities, you're not alone - folks always ask: Will it slur my speech? Will people know I'm in treatment?
To find out if you are the right candidate for Invisalign treatment, the first thing
Dr. Tomassetti does is take an impression of your teeth as they are now - and digitizes it. Using special software, he looks at the current positioning of your teeth and compares it to the way your teeth
should look.
Next we use special software to map out the exact path your teeth will take from the beginning of your treatment to the end. Based on the results, a set of custom aligners are created just for your teeth. Throughout the course of treatment, you will be required to wear these clear, removable aligners one at a time; each one moving your teeth closer and closer to their final, perfectly aligned position.
The best part about it all? Nobody around you will even know you are wearing braces!
Dr. Tomassetti is a certified Invisalign provider in Appleton and surrounding communities. If you have questions about Invisalign, or would like to find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign treatment at
