Invisalign invisible braces can straighten teeth similarly to traditional braces, in less time and with less pain than traditional braces. Instead of a mouth full of silver, Invisalign braces are clear plastic that just fit over the teeth comfortably. Patients feel more free to take pictures and engage in social events without the self-consciousness involved with traditional braces. More importantly, Invisalign patients can remove their braces to perform their typical oral hygiene! So instead of messing with a water pik, Invisalign patients can continue to floss. Patients with Invisalign can also remove their trays to eat. This means no embarrassing food in their teeth while eating in public. Due the social implications of braces, Invisalign braces are more popular with older teenage and adult patients. In addition to being more comfortable and less painful than traditional braces, they also work more quickly. With traditional braces, teeth are generally moved back and forth in order to get to their desired spaces. Since Invisalign is calculated by a computer, this doesn’t occur. Also, adjustment times in the office are quicker and there is usually less treatment time. Call Chicago Cosmetic Dentist Dr William J. Couvelis at 312-321-7645 for more information on Invisalign.

Since your smile affects everything you do, having a healthy beautiful smile and white teeth is important. Unfortunately, despite the best oral health seemingly trivial things such as beverage choices can affect your smile. There are several options in improving your smile, but teeth whitening is one of the most cost effective and produces the most immediate results. Teeth whitening is done in the office with special gel and lights. After just one treatment, the teeth can get between seven and ten shades lighter after the session. Most patients prefer this method because of the immediate results it produces. The patient may also opt for teeth whitening at home with special trays and gels the dentist will provide. The advantages far outweigh over the counter treatments, because of the intensity of the gel and the custom fit of the trays. While the procedure at-home does not produce the same immediate results as the office procedure, after just a few weeks the patient can have the same results. Teeth whitening can take years off your smile and make every first impression more favorable. Call Chicago Cosmetic Dentist at 312-321-7645
