Having a straighter, more beautiful smile is more than just a “nice-to-have.” In fact, many studies conducted over the past several years have shown that people with more attractive smiles actually feel better about themselves. And one of the most dramatic changes you can make in your smile is having straighter teeth. But until recently, that meant living with very noticeable metal braces for months on end. Fortunately, modern dental technology presents a different option for straightening teeth with Invisalign®. This remarkable technique allows our Dripping Springs, TX, patients to enjoy straighter teeth without ever having to wear traditional braces!

What You Should Know about Invisalign®

InvisalignDental technology has made remarkable strides over the past few years, and Invisalign® is a good example of that. The method involves the patient wearing sets of clear plastic trays – one for the upper plate and another for the bottom plate – for several months. After the initial fitting, you will need to switch trays every two or three weeks or as directed. All of your trays can be given to you at one time, reducing your number of appointments while still under the care of Dr. White. Slowly, over the course of several months, the patient’s teeth gradually shift into their new, straighter positions.
Patients can remove the trays to eat and clean their teeth, but they need to wear the trays for at least 22 hours each day.

Advantages of Invisalign® Over Other Teeth-Straightening Methods
