Are you interested in straightening your teeth, but aren't interested in doing so through conventional orthodontic treatment? Dr. Beth Faber and our staff would like to recommend Invisalign!
Invisalign aligners are customized, clear aligners used to straighten teeth quicker and with fewer office visits than traditional braces.
Here are a couple of questions you may have:
Why would I want Invisalign?
Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
How does it work?
You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Faber has prescribed. You'll visit Dr. Faber about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months, and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
If you're considering orthodontic treatment, please call (804) 445-2045 and schedule a complimentary orthodontic consultation with Dr. Faber. Our Kilmarnock office is conveniently located to serve the nearby communities of White Stone VA, Ingram Bay VA and Irvington VA.
See you soon!
