More Information about Invisalign
Why Is Invisalign So Popular?
The main reason patients first express interest in Invisalign is because this alternative to braces can be worn at any time without being noticed by others. These devices are virtually undetectable as they straighten your teeth because they don’t use wires and brackets. Instead, the patient’s teeth are straightened using clear, removable, customizable appliances referred to as aligners. Our team uses the unique specifics of each patient’s teeth and jaw to create aligners that are custom-made just for them. The plastic aligners that you wear over your teeth are smooth and comfortable. Unlike treatment with braces, Invisalign also allows you to eat anything you want easily, and cleaning them is no problem because they can be removed. The best feature is that they are nearly invisible as they work to move your teeth gradually into their proper places. While you are being treated with this technology, you receive new aligners approximately every two weeks, and many of the people in your life will never even know.
Invisalign technology works by using 3-D technology to gather the details needed to custom design your invisible aligners. If you wonder how long you will have to wear the appliances, it varies with each individual, but if you have a mild case of crowding or spacing issues, the average treatment time is six to nine months. Moderate cases may require a bit more treatment, which is typically completed in 12 to 18 months. When you are using these aligners, you wear them at all times, except when you are brushing, flossing, or eating. It is easy to discreetly remove your aligners to eat, even when you are in a public place like a restaurant, so there is no need to worry about an embarrassing situation. You will be impressed by how these aligners slowly move your teeth into place as you watch your smile change.
Adults, teens, and children all enjoy the greatest feature of aligning their teeth with Invisalign—the fact that the aligners are so unnoticeable to others. Children hate having school pictures taken with braces on, and teens especially dread having yearbook photos that forever showcase a mouth full of metal. Adults may not be as self-conscious in some cases as children and teens are, but they still find that Invisalign makes their life easier. Many individuals fear that braces will affect the way they are perceived at work, and no bride wants to have braces in her wedding pictures. Another major demographic that prefers this orthodontic treatment is individuals who play contact sports.
Braces can tear up the delicate tissue inside the cheeks and lips when one athlete collides with another on the field. The smooth, comfortable Invisalign aligners, however, eliminate the fear of this occurrence. Some patients also find that Invisalign is a great way to improve their smile if their teeth shift back to a crowded position after previous orthodontic treatment. If you think this treatment may be right for you, visit our office today and find out how Invisalign can improve your periodontal gum health and whiten your smile.

A Little About our Area: Stamford, CT
The town of Stamford, CT, was so named for a town in England, and it sits right on the beautiful Long Island Sound. This popular location for New York City entrepreneurs to build their summer homes in the late 19th century quickly grew into a city as these New Yorkers fell in love and moved here permanently. Stamford’s proximity to the city allowed these residents to commute by train and maintain their business interests in New York. Part of Stamford’s allure at the time was its small-town feel and special charm, which is why Stamford residents enjoy the city today. With a population of around 130,000, it may be hard to believe that the city has a hometown feel, but it maintains that aura despite its being the third-largest city in the state. Most people who visit Stamford find it hard to believe that this charming town is part of the New York City metropolitan area.
A surprisingly low crime rate also makes Stamford such a great city and likely is a draw for new residents. Stamford is the 16th safest city out of 269 that it classifies in the United States. In such proximity to New York City, it is rare to find a vibrant urban center that can boast this level of safety. We have chosen to serve Stamford residents because we love the city every bit as much as they do. The safe haven that local crime control presents is rare in the area, and we value the comfort of our city, as we contribute to the economic growth that the area has experienced in recent decades.
The economy of Stamford is another reason that locals make their home here. Outside of New York City itself, Stamford has the largest financial district in the area. The city has a high concentration of corporations and boasts nine Fortune 500 companies. Like UConn Stamford and Norwalk Community College, many popular colleges are located here as well as other higher learning institutions. Many of these schools’ graduates stay in the area and contribute to further economic and cultural growth. This vibrant city has a thriving heartbeat built on information technology, tourism, retail, health care, transportation, and financial services.
