Invisalign near Hamburg, PA
2/11/2017
A question that is asked constantly by patients at Dr. Bob Bryan Orthodontics in Hamburg is “What is Invisalign” or “Why Invisalign?” Invisalign is another way to straighten teeth without the pain and discomfort of regular metal braces. Invisalign can fix a number of dental issues, such as spacing, overbites, underbites, crowding and crossbites. Rather than having painful wires on your teeth, Invisalign uses smooth plastic which is less noticeable and more comfortable.
At Dr. Bob Bryan Orthodontics in Hamburg, many of our patients who had never even considered traditional braces are now happily and comfortably improving their smiles with Invisalign. Invisalign works by using sets of aligners that are worn for about two weeks at a time. They are removed to eat, drink, brush and floss. Then gradually, over the course of usually about 6-15 months, teeth gradually align themselves with visits every 8-10 weeks.
Many believe the only perk of Invisalign is the fact that they aren’t noticeable. However, Invisalign is made for comfort, and doesn’t use metal wires or brackets which can cause very painful and sore mouth abrasions. If you are interested in getting Invisalign for yourself or someone you know in Hamburg, contact Dr. Bob Bryan Orthodontics with offices located in both Allentown, PA and Hamburg, PA.
