Invisalign At Parkcrest Dental Group

Contact Us Today

  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Most of us prefer not to have the discomfort and slight pain that comes with braces, and we’d much rather have our teeth straightened without anyone knowing we were doing so. For this reason, Parkcrest Dental Group has chosen to offer Invisalign. This clear, comfortable option gives professionals and people who need to look their best the opportunity to straighten their teeth, too.

Though orthodontists haven’t used clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into place for nearly as long as they have used traditional braces, Invisalign has a great track record. For nearly 20 years Invisalign has given people the opportunity to align and straighten their teeth without worrying about bulky brackets. Parkcrest Dental Group explains how clear aligners do this and why they make an excellent choice.

How Does Invisalign Work

And How Long Does It Take?

Whereas traditional braces use the tension of a wire and bracket system to slowly move your teeth to where they need to be, Invisalign uses a series of trays specifically fitted to your teeth to move them into the right position. Your Parkcrest Dental Group orthodontist in Springfield, MO, will give you a new tray every two weeks, and each tray will shift the focus on moving your teeth in different ways.

When you receive Invisalign from Parkcrest Dental Group, you benefit from less intrusive hardware, less painful alignment, and quicker turnaround. The average treatment time tends to last around 12 months instead of the 24 months of braces. The quicker turnaround time and decreased visibility make Invisalign a great choice for many of us.
