Invisalign Gives You a Perfect Smile Discreetly

The Invisalign system is one of our most popular orthodontic treatments because it offers so many benefits:

  • Invisalign’s clear plastic teeth aligners are completely metal-free. You won’t have to worry about any sharp edges poking the sensitive areas inside your mouth. You also won’t be embarrassed walking into a meeting or classroom with a mouthful of metal.
  • You can remove the aligners at any time. If you have a special occasion coming up, just pop them out and put them back in later. You can also easily remove the aligners for eating and brushing your teeth. Just be sure to wear them for at least 20-22 hours a day to maximize your treatment time.
  • Your treatment will be quick. Treatment times can vary from person to person, but many of our Invisalign patients complete their therapy in as few as 12 months. If you start your treatment now, you could have a perfectly straight smile by this time next year!
  • Your teeth aligners are discreet. Most people won’t even notice your Invisalign aligners unless you point them out. Your orthodontic treatment can be your secret unless you choose to tell others.

Our Other Orthodontic Options Can Also Improve Your Smile

Some people are not good candidates for Invisalign treatment. If your teeth are severely misaligned or you have significant bite issues, you may need braces to correct your smile. If that’s the case, Drake Family Dentistry has you covered. For orthodontic treatment with braces, we offer:

  • Traditional Braces – Metal braces have been available for decades for one reason – they work for even the toughest orthodontic cases. Dr. Burton can fit you with standard metal brackets and an archwire that will correct your crooked smile. With his expertise, you’re assured of a perfect outcome.
  • Tooth-Colored Braces – If you’d like more discreet orthodontic treatment, we can use clear ceramic hardware and a tooth-colored wire that will blend in more naturally. You’ll get the same great outcome as you would with traditional braces but with less noticeable hardware.

Harlingen orthodontics from Drake Family Dentistry will give you a beautiful, straight smile. Call us today at 956-450-7375 to schedule your consultation. You can also make an appointment .

Common Questions About Orthodontics / Invisalign

Each patient is different, with a unique set of wants and needs. It is not possible to give you an estimate on your orthodontic treatment until we’ve first performed an exam and worked up treatment options for you. Then we can make sure you have all the information you need, including cost, to decide on the orthodontic care that’s right for you.

Teens and adults often prefer Invisalign to traditional metal braces because the aligners are clear and nearly impossible to see. People may not even notice you’re wearing them unless you point them out, so patients feel much more confident about their appearance while at school and in social or professional settings. You can also remove your aligners for a short time for photos or special events.

Unlike traditional braces that use metal brackets, bands, and wires, Invisalign uses clear plastic teeth aligners to straighten your teeth. You simply slide the aligners over your teeth and wear them for at least 20-22 hours a day. You can freely remove aligners for eating, brushing, or a special occasion, so long as you put them back in when you’re done.

Treatment with Invisalign is more comfortable than braces. Unlike traditional braces that use an archwire that must be tightened periodically, Invisalign’s teeth aligners gently move your teeth into their ideal location. You’ll progress through a series of aligners during your treatment, with each one slightly different from the one before. You’ll never have to deal with the painful consequences of tightening any wires.
