Drescher & Cohen DDS Releases Article on Invisalign for Atlanta Patients

Share this news:

Drescher & Cohen DDS provides a way to straighten teeth without the embarrassment and hassle of braces. The relatively new approach is Invisalign, which allows for straightening the teeth discreetly.

Drescher & Cohen DDS is pleased to announce that it makes Invisalign available to all patients, a more comfortable and convenient process than the metallic style braces. Invisalign is less conspicuous, allowing the patient to straighten teeth without announcing it to the world.

Invisalign is a teeth straightening solution which is difficult to see, yet effective in the results. The aligners are custom-fitted and transparent, making it easy to move teeth into alignment discreetly.

Alignment correction is done gradually over time, usually lasting between six to eighteen months. The process begins with a 3-dimensional scan of the teeth, evaluated by both Invisalign and the dentist or orthodontist. After the plan is determined, five to seven weeks are required for the arrival of alignment sets. Typically, from twelve and twenty different sets are required to complete the process. Each set is worn for approximately two weeks. A patient is given three or four sets at a time, so that six to eight weeks between visits are possible.

Invisalign aligners have several advantages over traditional braces. For teens and adults, one of the most important features is the ability to straighten teeth in a way that is discreet. Both types of appliances are slow and steady and the cost is approximately the same.

When a metal appliance is attached, it is a commitment until it is removed. Invisalign doesn't need the same type of commitment. The Invisalign appliances can be removed whenever it is necessary.

The removability of the aligners permits freedom that metal braces don't have. The Invisalign system is simple in concept, but requires cutting edge technology. The technology has been in use for more than a decade, so it is far from experimental. It is a system that is growing in popularity among dentists and orthodontists, as well as patients.
