The American Association of Orthodontics now reports that over one million adults are seeking orthodontic treatment to straighten their smiles. The increase in adults turning to braces is largely due to the recent advancements made in orthodontics. Now, braces in Mobile are less noticeable than ever before with the use of clear brackets and Invisalign. With discreet options to straighten the teeth in less time, adults widely prefer Invisalign in Mobile. At Parker Dental and Orthodontics, Dr. Hubert Parker embraces the various advancements in orthodontics to provide his patients with the highest level of care.
Advancements in Orthodontics
With technology rapidly changing and new advancements made each year, orthodontics is evolving to offer alternative options to traditional treatments. In addition, you benefit from more precise and higher quality results when compared to methods and technologies of the past. For example, new imaging equipment now allows us to provide you with an insight into what your smile will look like after you have completed treatment. We are essentially able to map out every phase of treatment to allow you to see the progression over the period of time.
Dr. Parker commonly uses this method with his patients who use Invisalign to straighten their teeth. Unlike traditional braces, there are no metal wires or brackets used for treatment. Instead, clear plastic aligner trays are worn over the teeth to move the teeth into their correct position. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing for a discreet treatment.
In addition, the aligner trays straighten your teeth in less time than that of traditional braces. On average, it takes about 12 months to achieve your straight new smile. During this time, you will benefit from added convenience and comfort that just is not possible with traditional braces.
The removable trays make oral hygiene easier. Not to mention, this means there are no dietary restrictions. In addition, you are able to progress your treatment at home. The aligner trays are created in a series, with each aligner worn for about two weeks. You are able to switch to the next tray in the series right at home. There is no need to visit the dentist for adjustments. However, you will still need to come in every 4 to 8 weeks so Dr. Parker can monitor your treatment.
With the smooth, clear trays, you will have a comfortable and less noticeable treatment to get the straight smile you have always wanted.
