Do you associate straight teeth with a beautiful smile? If so, you are not alone! If you are struggling with crooked teeth, poor bite alignment, or even gaps within the smile, our team at Solay Dental in Oldsmar, FL, can assist.

Instead of using both metal brackets and wires to reposition the teeth within the smile over several months or years, our professionals may recommend an alternative such as Invisalign orthodontics.

Understanding how Invisalign orthodontics works

Dr. Shiva Soleimani of Solay Dental use Invisalign as an alternative to metal braces for teens and adults who do not want noticeable metal appliances covering their smiles throughout treatment. Because the Invisalign trays are removable, they make it easy for patients to continue to brush and floss as they normally would. Still, it also means that compliance with treatment is critical to getting the final results expected.

How many trays will I need?

Each patient’s dental situation is different, and we find that the number of trays in a series is often compared to the severity of misalignment. Most treatments can be done in as little as six months. Digital Impressions are taken of the patient’s smile when they decide to start treatment, and these are combined with digital technology to create trays that will get patients from point A to point B in the process.
