Transform Your Smile with Invisalign Clear Aligners

The benefits of having a straight smile go beyond looking your best. Everyone desires to have a beautiful, healthy smile that’s worthy of the red carpet, but many of us aren’t born with picture-perfect teeth. If you aren’t in love with your smile, cosmetic dentistry in Fairfax may be your solution!  

Masterful cosmetic dentistry in Fairfax starts with a visit to Dr. Fairfax & Associates Family Dentistry. Dr. Fairfax and our skilled and compassionate team can help you design the smile of your dreams and achieve excellent oral health. 

It's Time for a Straighter Smile

When gears in a clock are out of place or don’t line up, the clock doesn’t work like it’s designed to. Gears sometimes need adjustments and some extra TLC to work smoothly and effectively. The mouth is somewhat like a clock in this way, and the teeth are similar to the gears. 

For your mouth to function properly, your teeth must align and fit together to effectively chew, speak, and more. Your dentist experienced in orthodontics can correct your misaligned teeth by using advanced orthodontic treatments like Invisalign. 

Straight Teeth Lead to Happiness and Health 

Crooked or overcrowded teeth create several tiny spaces in your mouth where harmful bacteria and plaque can accumulate. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), plaque buildup can increase your risk of tooth decay, cavities, gum disease, and other health issues like diabetes or strokes. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, which lessens your chance of developing harmful oral health conditions. 

Misaligned teeth are also more prone to injury, and they can cause abnormal tooth wear and make it difficult to chew food or speak clearly. Straight teeth also improve your bite and jaw development. 

Studies by the ADA have shown that having straight, healthy teeth improves your mood, self-confidence, and overall physical health. So not only does a straight smile give you a confidence boost, but it also improves your quality of life!

Invisalign vs. Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are a great choice for some patients, but not all patients have the time, money, or patience to wait on them to work their magic. Metal braces can correct more complex alignment issues, but they can also make it more difficult to clean your teeth, eat, and enjoy your daily life. 

Metal braces also tend to irritate the mouth’s soft tissues, and they can take years to show results. Though traditional metal braces are a tried-and-true orthodontic treatment, Invisalign can help you gain a symmetrical smile with more comfort and freedom than ever before. 

Invisalign Creates Straight Smiles with Comfort and Discretion

Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment for adults and teens who want a straighter smile without the hassle of metal wires and brackets. This advanced orthodontic system works faster than metal braces, so you can have perfect teeth in a matter of months. Invisalign clear aligners are virtually transparent, so you can go about your life without having a mouthful of uncomfortable metal getting in your way. You may even forget you’re wearing them!

Invisalign works well for older teens and adults—anyone who has permanent teeth—with minor alignment issues and even some cases of crossbite, underbite, and overbite. Since 1997, Invisalign has been helping people of all ages achieve straight and beautiful smiles, and they continue to amaze millions with stellar results. To date, Invisalign has transformed 9 million smiles, including over 1 million teens!
