Invisalign® — Wayland, MA
A Braces-Free Solution for a Crooked Smile
In the past, straightening your teeth meant filling your mouth with sharp metal brackets and wires. For three years – or longer – you’d have to wear metal braces, attending tightening appointments every few weeks. It’s easy to see why most adults decline orthodontic treatment. Today, we have an alternative to traditional metal braces. With Invisalign in Wayland, you can bypass this traditional technique and head toward a straighter smile with lightning speed.

How Invisalign Works
Invisalign involves a series of clear aligners that put pressure on your teeth to help them move to better positions. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are made out of transparent materials, meaning they don’t stand out as much. On top of that, you can take your aligners out when it’s time to eat, allowing you to enjoy all kinds of foods during your treatment.
You will need to wear your current set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours every day. Throughout your treatment, you will switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks. We’ll monitor your progress carefully to confirm that everything is on track.
Indications for Invisalign
Invisalign can be a great choice for adults and teenagers who wish to straighten their smiles without having to worry about the drawbacks of braces. Note that to be a good candidate for Invisalign, you need to be able to commit to maintaining excellent oral health and hygiene.
Invisalign can be used to correct a variety of orthodontic issues, such as the following:
Crowded Teeth
Crowded teeth tend to be very difficult to clean properly, and they can draw the wrong kind of attention whenever you smile. Many patients with crowded teeth can benefit from wearing Invisalign in order to straighten their grins.
Gaps Between Teeth
While you don’t want your teeth to be crowded too closely together, they also shouldn’t be spaced too far apart. Otherwise, food and bacteria could get stuck in the gaps and put you at risk for cavities and other oral health issues. It’s possible to close certain spaces in your smile with a personalized Invisalign treatment.
Bite Alignment
Bite alignment problems can come in many forms, such as overbite or crossbite. If you don’t want to worry about the consequences that a misaligned bite can cause – such as recurring jaw pain – you can use Invisalign to correct the issue.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Figuring that the Invisalign treatment is sounding better and better as you continue to read? Just wait—there’s more! You can also benefit from Invisalign in these ways:
- Fewer dental visits and saved time overall.
- Flexibility with your diet as the trays are removable.
- Easier dental hygiene care at home compared to traditional braces.
- Less irritation and discomfort because the trays are crafted from smooth, clear plastic.
