Invisalign Clear Aligners in Centerville, OH

Image of someone holding invisalign clear aligners, centerville ohHave your crooked teeth always bothered you? Did you have braces as a child, but your teeth have since relapsed? In either case, Invisalign® clear aligners in Dayton, OH, may be the solution you need to get the smile you want. 

How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign is a discreet, modern alternative to traditional orthodontics. Instead of metal brackets and wires, Invisalign's clear, custom-fitted aligners gradually and gently shift your teeth into the optimal positions. Each aligner is precision-fabricated to apply the right amount of force in the right place at the right time.

You are a good Invisalign candidate if you are an adult or older teen who wants a straighter smile and less conspicuous orthodontic treatment. If you're an older adult, you should know there's no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment, and it's never too late for a beautiful, harmonious smile.

Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners

  • Discreet — Clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to improve your smile without drawing attention to your treatment.
  • Comfortable — Custom-made from smooth plastic, Invisalign aligners are designed for comfort, eliminating the irritation metal braces can cause.
  • Convenient — Aligners are removable, making it easy to eat, brush, and floss and maintain your usual daily routine without hassle.
  • Improved Appearance — As your teeth move into place, you'll notice a more aligned and attractive smile, even before your treatment is complete.
  • Oral Health — Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of periodontal disease and decay, which is crucial for overall health.
  • Holistic Health Alignment — Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing your risk of gum disease and its risks to your overall oral health. Straight teeth also contribute to better chewing, digestion, and even speech, aligning with our holistic approach to dental health.
