Adults want to know how does Invisalign work and where can I get treatment in Burr Ridge, IL

When orthodontic treatment was in its early stages, the average patient could expect their smile to be hidden behind metal brackets and wires for about two years. Braces were also largely considered a corrective treatment for adolescents. Today, people of all ages want to know “how does Invisalign work?” This method of correction is ideal for many of our Burr Ridge, IL patients.

It is never too late to enjoy a nice, straight smile. Statistics show that more than one million adults in our country have sought treatment to improve their oral health and appearance.

Are you considering orthodontic treatment? Invisalign can improve a number of conditions, such as:

• Gaps between teeth
• Crowding
• Slight protrusion or leaning.
• Mild over-bite, cross-bite or under-bite

Improve appearance and more with Invisalign

One of the primary reasons that orthodontic treatment is sought by adult patients is cosmetic improvement. Invisalign guides progressive movement toward a straight smile without the obvious appearance of braces. The barely-there look of clear plastic aligners can be ideal for the adult concerned with preserving a professional image. In addition to the esthetic appeal of the aligner system, there is a health aspect to orthodontic treatment.

In recent years, a direct link between oral health and general health has been identified. Gum disease and other chronic inflammation in the mouth can affect other systems and organs. These conditions, as well as tooth decay, are more difficult to avoid when teeth are not well positioned. Gaps between teeth are just as troublesome as areas of overlap. Where plaque can accumulate, problems can follow. Eliminating misalignment need not be complicated to lead you to better oral health.

Due to the advances in orthodontic treatment, getting a healthier, more attractive smile has never been easier. You can find out if you are a good candidate for Invisalign in a single appointment with Dr. Janet Stopka. To schedule your visit, call (630) 756-5844.
