Invisalign

Invisible braces are a great option for teens as well as adults who do not want to deal with the hassle, look, and feel of metal braces. Dr. Adam Yang is an Invisalign dentist in Lakewood, WA, providing expert level treatment to safely and comfortably straighten your smile. They are safe, comfortable, convenient and virtually unnoticeable.

WHAT IS INVISALIGN?

Invisalign is a series of custom molded, removable clear aligners that gradually reposition your teeth for a straighter, healthier and more comfortable smile. There are many advantages to Invisalign:

• They are removable. You can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss your teeth easier.
• They are clear and virtually invisible! No one has to know you are wearing them.
• Less dental visits are needed with Invisalign than metal braces.
• Invisalign is a gentle form of treatment and will not cause damage to the teeth, enamel, or gum tissue.
• They are quick. Most patients finish treatment in 6–12 months.

INVISALIGN VS BRACES

Studies show that clear braces may be better for your dental hygiene during treatment compared to traditional metal braces. Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can brush and floss teeth normally, unlike traditional metal braces which can be difficult to care for and often trap food particles between the braces and teeth. In addition, you can remove aligners to enjoy the food and drink you like without special restriction.

Invisalign is often the perfect solution for teen and adult patients who can benefit from orthodontic treatment but do not want the embarrassment of wearing metal braces.
