Thankfully, clear aligners from companies like\nInvisalign\u00ae and ClearCorrect have become a more readily available\u2014and\naffordable\u2014option for the orthodontia-phobic.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rather\nthan a system of metal brackets and wires, clear aligners are a series of\ncustom-made soft-plastic forms that gradually straighten your teeth little by\nlittle. Each set is worn for approximately two weeks before moving on to the\nnext. The length of the treatment depends on the complexity of the case, but\ntreatment time is typically less than conventional braces; averaging about\ntwelve months. Besides the shortened treatment time, there are other benefits\nto clear aligners.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Believe\nit or not, having straight teeth can positively affect your overall\nhealth,&#8221; said Dr. Ryan Bygness of Thirty Two &amp; You Family Dental.\n&#8220;Crowded or over-spaced teeth can affect your gums, which can then lead to\ngum disease and a whole host of other health problems, especially for those who\ndon\u2019t maintain a good oral health regimen.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>With a\nremovable orthodontic appliance, cleaning your teeth is much easier. This\ntreatment is also an ideal option for teens with extracurricular activities\nthat might require them to remove the aligner, such as band or sports. And\nbecause they\u2019re tough and removable, clear aligners also allow patients a wider\nvariety dietary choices. Traditional braces can also lead to mouth and gum\nirritation, but with clear aligners, that irritation is a thing of the past.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Whether\nyou have crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth, an over, under, open, or crossbite,\nclear aligners\u2014such as Invisalign\u00ae\u2014are an effective treatment for a variety of\nproblems,&#8221; said Dr. Bygness. &#8220;In addition to traditional braces,\nwe&#8217;re a certified Invisalign\u00ae provider and are excited to be able to offer this\nservice to our community full-time.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thirty Two\n&amp; You Family Dental is located at 1328 Broadway in Denison.
