Patients who don’t have straight teeth often desire corrective dental procedures. Because many of these patients don’t like the look or feel of traditional braces, they turn to Dr. T. Kirk Crane for Invisalign at his General & Cosmetic Dentistry. Invisalign has been around for several years, but is now even more effective today thanks to a computer program involved in the process. Invisalign involves aligners that the Lafayette, LA patient wears throughout the day and night, but can remove for eating and brushing their teeth.
Dr. Crane starts with a consultation to discuss the patient’s needs. He can show them a computer program that helps detail the aligners placement and how they will straighten the teeth over the next 1-2 years. Impressions are made of the patient’s teeth, which are then used to create the first set of aligners. Over the course of the treatment, several aligners are made, each of which continues tightening the teeth and encouraging movement. By the end, the spacing or crowding between teeth is improved.
Invisalign is a top choice for many patients. These patients like them for a variety of reasons, including being able to wear them for less time than traditional braces, the fact that they are virtually invisible to others, and they don’t affect the appearance of their natural teeth, like discoloration which metal braces sometimes can. Patients also adore the fact that they are removable. Those interested in getting straighter teeth are welcome to contact Dr. T. Kirk Crane for Invisalign.
