Straight teeth are one of the hallmarks of a great smile. If you have always wanted to fix your crooked teeth or bite problem but have been hesitant to undergo treatment with unsightly and uncomfortable metal braces, you are not alone. Millions of people worldwide have taken advantage of the discreet alternative to braces: Invisalign® clear aligners. At Edward J Camacho DDS & Confidence Builder Cosmetic Dentistry of San Antonio, Dr. Edward Camacho offers this revolutionary treatment option to patients so they can achieve the beautiful smiles they deserve.
Metal braces and Invisalign clear aligners both straighten your teeth and fix bite issues such as overbites or underbites. But they use very different methods for achieving these goals. Metal braces use a set of brackets and wires that place a uniform amount of force on all of the teeth at once. While this effectively treats misalignment, it causes significant discomfort each time the braces are adjusted, and the metal braces are very visible within your smile. Additionally, because metal brackets are prone to popping off, many types of crunchy, sticky, or chewy foods are off-limits for the duration of wearing braces. Invisalign was designed to address all of these issues while remaining just as effective at properly aligning your teeth and jaw.
Did you know that straight teeth can also improve your oral health? When your teeth are crooked, it is harder to properly clean them with brushing and flossing at home, and misalignment can also contribute to painful conditions such as TMJ disorder.
Dr. Edward Camacho is skilled at using Invisalign to help patients achieve the straight, healthy teeth they have always wanted. To schedule your consultation and learn whether Invisalign is right for you, call our San Antonio office today at 210-405-3157!
