Do you have a smile that you're embarrassed to show off? If so, Thomas G. Faiver, DDS, PC, in East Lansing, MI, can correct those tooth imperfections with the help of Invisalign! This teeth-straightening method eliminates the need for metal brackets and wires, replacing them with clear and removable aligners. Read on to learn more!

What Invisalign Can Do For You

Offering comfort, convenience, and discretion, Invisalign is capable of treating all sorts of cases that range from overbites and underbites to crowded and gapped teeth. These small fixes in your smile can make a big difference in your confidence, giving you a motivational boost in social and professional situations.

In addition to their aesthetic issues, misaligned teeth also make it difficult to brush and floss properly, thus making it difficult to upkeep a healthy mouth. After all, when teeth do not fit tightly together, plaque is more likely to remain in the overlapped space, leading to more cavities and trips to the dentist.

The Benefits of Invisalign Treatment

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign uses a series of transparent plastic aligners that are custom created from molds taken by our East Lansing dentist. Each set is worn for two weeks at a time, only needing to be removed while eating, drinking, and practicing your oral care routine. Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and available to teens and adults, so regardless of age, you can straighten your smile without fear of anyone noticing!

Additional benefits of Invisalign braces include:

• Improved speech - misplaced teeth make it difficult to properly enunciate.
• Shorter, more efficient dental cleanings - straighter teeth means less time in the dental chair.
• Alleviated facial pain - people who grind their teeth can benefit from plastic protection.
• A better bite - which means a more effective oral care routine.
