1. Invisalign Might Be The Clear Choice
When patients of the Glendale Dental Circle office are asked about Invisalign braces,
most aren’t sure how to respond. That’s because the majority of people don’t know
what Invisalign’s are.
Braces have been around for a long time now. Invisible braces date back as far as the
mid 1940s. Just recently, however, Invisalign have greatly risen in popularity. This is
due to the clear advantages Invisalign braces offer. For example, in contrary to fixed,
metal braces, Invisalign are removable, invisible, and much more comfortable. And the
best part? The result are same: straightened teeth!
So what is Invisalign? They pretty much resemble a plastic tray. If you ever saw a
mouth guard used by most athletes…a much thinner version is the best comparison.
Once the Invisalign is custom fit for your teeth, it’s inserted, and removed whenever
needed. The feeling of force and pressure (common with metal braces) has been
eliminated from equation.
The first simple step of receiving an Invisalign, is having it molded to fit your teeth
perfectly. After there is clear movementtowards your teeth straightening, a new
Invisalign is molded to further the progress. The inconvenience of metal braces being
painfully tightened, while still fixed to your teeth, is no longer experienced with
Invisalign.
So how are they made? Invisalign are made from extremely durableplastic. Unlike
typical dental braces, which are made from metal, (along withdifficult to clean sharp
edges)Invisalignare comfortable and basically invisible.Through impressions and 3-D
computer imaging, our Glendale dental specialists will be able to custom create

screen to help you decide if this is an option for you. That's one of several exciting new
features that traditional dental braces don't offer.
