Appearance is not the only benefit of wearing Invisalign® for straighter teeth, since straighter teeth can also benefit one’s oral health. In fact crooked teeth can trap food between them and lead to infection or bite issues. At Wildwood Bethesda Family & Cosmetic Dental, we offer Invisalign® as a treatment for patients interested in discreetly straightening their teeth.
Invisalign® is a series of clear aligner trays that cover the teeth, similar to a retainer or mouth guard, but are much more discreet. At least every two weeks or so, the patient will switch to the next set in the series of Invisalign trays. With the custom aligners for each patient, Invisalign® will gradually push the teeth into the right position without causing significant amounts of pain.
