Invisalign Clear Braces

Clear braces for Birmingham, Alabama

When people think of braces or getting teeth straightened, they typically think of metal brackets and wires that are unattractive, can impede speech, cause discomfort and are not even socially acceptable for teenagers. Many of our patients in the Mountain Brook area are asking for invisible braces.

Now there is a great alternative: Invisalign clear braces

Dr. Paul Koch of Birmingham, Alabama can straighten your teeth to improve your smile using Invisalign braces – a series of invisible braces that are removable aligners. Want to start sharing a whiter smile, ask about our Zoom Whitening in concert with Invisalign Braces.

How do invisible braces work?

Your Birmingham dentist will fit you for custom Invisalign aligners that are made specifically for your mouth. These invisible braces are made out of smooth, comfortable plastic and are worn over your teeth. Treatment requires changing these virtually ‘invisible’ clear braces every two to three weeks, gradually moving your teeth into a straighter position. Since our office is near Mountain Brook, a straighter smile is a short drive away.

Will Invisalign Clear Braces work for my teeth?

Invisalign braces work for a variety of different bite problems that affect Alabama cosmetic dental patients. Whether you have gapped teeth, crowding or malocclusion (including overbite, underbite, crossbite and open bite), these invisible braces can give you an affordable teeth-straightening option. In addition to giving you the confidence to share your straighter smile with the world, invisible braces can also help improve your dental health, as well as your overall health. Straighter teeth make brushing and flossing easier. Improved dental hygiene can reduce your risk for gum disease and other oral health problems that can develop into more serious issues if left untreated. While the aligners may look like a mouth guard, they are not to be used in that way.

With Invisalign braces, you enjoy the convenience of being able to remove the aligners to eat or brush your teeth and the benefit of not having bulky wires visible during treatment. In fact, Invisalign braces are often called “clear braces” or “invisible braces” as it is hard to tell you are even wearing them. For the teenagers in any of the Mountain Brook schools, the invisible Invisalign Braces are the number one choice.
