Invisalign in Daybreak & South Jordan
In previous generations, those with crooked or misaligned teeth had very few options available to them. For most, the only real choice was to get braces. While braces remain a valuable
and beneficial solution, there are some newer alternatives that are worth considering. One of the most popular is Invisalign, which we proudly offer here at Pony Express Dental in Daybreak and South Jordan, Utah.
We invite you to learn more about Invisalign in Daybreak and South Jordan and to discover whether this might be the right orthodontic treatment for you.
What Is Invisalign?
Some may not be familiar with this treatment. Here’s a quick overview:
Invisalign is an aligner that’s custom-fit to your mouth. You’ll change it out every few weeks for a new version to keep up with changes in the alignment of your teeth. Invisalign is very similar to a standard retainer and is meant to keep teeth from shifting out of place. It’s most often used to subtly move teeth to straighten and provide a more beautiful, sparkling smile.
One of the most popular things about Invisalign is that it’s completely transparent, which means it’s not very noticeable when you’re wearing it. This is one of the big advantages that Invisalign offers over traditional braces.
Braces vs. Invisalign
That brings up a common question: Is Invisalign a better option than braces? The answer simply depends on your needs. The only way to find out which option is best for you is to consult with one of our Pony Express Dental and Orthodontics providers. We can walk you through the Invisalign process and help you pick the right treatment option.
Here are some of the most common distinctions between the two treatments.
- Most patients will say that Invisalign is more convenient, requiring only minor lifestyle changes. For instance, when you have Invisalign, you can remove your orthodontic device to eat, brush your teeth, etc.
- Invisalign is much gentler on the mouth, tongue, and gums; these retainers are plastic rather than sharp metal.
- As mentioned, Invisalign can be a lot less obtrusive than braces thanks to the clear design.
- While Invisalign can correct a number of orthodontic problems, it can’t fix everything—and for more serious problems, braces may be necessary.
Is Invisalign Right for You?
Again, the only way to tell for sure whether Invisalign is right for you is to meet with an orthodontist for a full, one-on-one consultation.
With that said, there are a few common dental issues that can often be addressed by Invisalign. Those include:
- Gapped teeth
- Minor bite problems—for example, mild overbites or underbites
- Crowded teeth
If you have any of these dental health concerns, it’s worth learning more about Invisalign. If you have a more serious issue with your teeth or an issue with your jaw, you may need an alternate intervention. Either way, our providers in Daybreak and South Jordan can accommodate, and we invite you to make an appointment with us today.
