Los Angeles - Gap Closing
What Can I Do to
Close the Spaces in My Teeth?
Many people have spaces between their teeth or crooked teeth, and wish
there was an easy way to correct it. Braces can be a problem for many
reasons. Some feel that food can get caught between their teeth
regularly, causing tooth decay. Others simply feel that they want a
nicer smile, but not with all the pain and hassle of having something
attached to their teeth. Invisalign offers an excellent solution for
this problem.
Invisalign is a method used to straighten or remove gaps in teeth.
Essentially it is a system of removable braces in the form of a clear
plastic tooth aligners. Instead of wearing braces attached to the
teeth, Invisalign allows the freedom to remove it.
The process starts with a visit to a dentist or orthodontist. They will
examine the patient and help to determine what steps to take and what
goals they want to achieve. If a patient's goal is to close gapped
teeth, they may have a different plan than someone with crooked teeth.
Each Invisalign is custom made for each individual using a mold of his
or her teeth. The orthodontist or dentist will not have to rely on his
own visual perception. The impression is digitized into a 3D image that
the doctor and patient can examine to discuss the process and
development month by month.
Custom aligners are then created to match the dentist or orthodontist's
treatment plan. A normal plan can require 2 aligners per month for a
total of 20-30 per arch. These aligners are durable, made of medical
grade plastic. They are also virtually invisible, making them easy to
wear.
Invisalign can be worn comfortably, and easily removed when eating
food. This is excellent for someone looking for a non-invasive method
to close gap teeth. Filling gap teeth with veneers, crowns, or bonding,
is not always the right method. Therefore, these instant orthodontics
are another option that could be considered.
Many people are looking for a way to have a healthy and beautiful
smile, but are turned off by the process. Invisalign uses cutting edge
technology to simplify the process. Removable aligners will make eating
food easier, and the clear plastic is almost unnoticeable. If you need
to correct crooked or gap teeth, this is a method you should consider.
If you live in the greater Los Angeles area, and you're looking for a
cosmetic dentist that offers Invsalign to patients, Dr. Eddie Siman may
be the dentist for you.
