Can Invisalign achieve the same results as traditional metal braces?

Traditional orthodontics have been used for decades to straighten the smile and improve patient confidence. While metal brackets and wires are an effective way of moving teeth into proper alignment, they are not the only way. Thanks to advancements in today’s orthodontic services, patients in Georgetown, TX, may be excited to learn they can enhance their smile without metal appliances and instead with the use of clear plastic aligner trays used in a treatment called Invisalign.

Understanding Invisalign and how it works

Drs. Mark Duncan and Mandy Holley of Aesthetic Dentistry of Georgetown are dental professionals who encourage patients to ask them about Invisalign as an alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign is able to provide the same results without covering the smile with metal appliances. With Invisalign, patients progress through their smile alignment using a series of trays custom-made for them. These trays are designed with digital impressions of the current smile and use software to develop the final results and the trays needed to achieve them.
