Dr. John Palmer of Palmer Distinctive Dentistry are professionals in the area of Greenville, SC who can help guests improve the beauty of their smiles with a variety of restorative treatments. One way you can address your misaligned teeth is with a clear braces treatment called Invisalign.
Palmer Distinctive Dentistry discusses how Invisalign works
When guests think of braces, it often recalls metal brackets and wires that are glued to the teeth and reposition them over the course of months or sometimes year. It may also suggest the embarrassment of dealing with braces as an adult. However, with continued improvements in dentistry, guests in the area of Greenville, SC can instead utilize Invisalign clear braces as an alternative.
Invisalign is a method of treatment that uses clear plastic aligners instead of brackets and wires to move teeth into better alignment within the dental arch. These aligners are made using CAD/CAM technology. The dentist will take a series of digital impressions which are sent to the Invisalign laboratories to complete a series of trays in order from start to finish. When guests pick up their trays, Dr. John Palmer will explain how to use them, how to care for them, and how to get the results you desire. Each tray is worn for two weeks before moving forward with the next one. Over time, the teeth will gradually move and guests will have a beautifully aligned smile once and for all!
Who is a candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign can be used for guests who have cosmetic misalignment or who need to correct a bite alignment issue such as overbite, underbite, or cross bite. In most cases, guests with mild to moderate misalignment will be determined to be good candidates for this service. To determine candidacy, guests must book a consultation appointment with Palmer Distinctive Dentistry to discuss their needs and find out more about this and other solutions.

What about alternative options?
For guests with severe misalignment of the smile, a traditional orthodontist may still be helpful in addressing these issues. We can refer guests to professionals we know and trust who can improve the beatify of your smile with alternative methods. Additionally, guests who have small issues such as a single tooth that is crooked or a gap between the front teeth may want to ask about the possibility of using one or more porcelain veneers to disguise the problem. This allows guests to address it quickly and easily while eliminating the time needed to readjust the rest of the smile accordingly.
What makes Invisalign a treatment that stands out from the rest?
Many guests don’t like the idea of hiding their teeth behind metal brackets and wires while they improve their smile, and Invisalign allows a more discreet treatment. Invisalign is also:
- Affordable
- Eligible for financing
- Fast
- Effective
- Gradual
- Easy to use
- Easy to care for
How do I use my Invisalign trays?
During the appointment where guests obtain their trays, they also have time to speak to Dr. John Palmer about how they use them. Guests are advised to wear their trays at all times, and to only remove them to brush the teeth, floss, and to eat or drink food or beverages. These are the only times guests should remove their trays from the teeth. By complying with treatment, guests will be able to obtain the results they desire and have planned to see by the end of Invisalign treatment. If guests do not wear their trays as directed, it may result in further expenses to create new trays. It can also cause a delay in the timeframe to obtain a new smile.
