Invisalign®

What’s the first thing you notice about someone else’s smile? If you said, “whether or not their teeth are straight,” then chances are that’s the exact characteristic you want for your own smile. At the cosmetic dentistry practice of Dr. Arthur Schramm—the cosmetic dentist for Charlotte, NC—we can give you a new, straight smile in a year or less! And you won’t have to worry about the time, trouble, or appearance of traditional braces, because you may qualify for the Invisalign clear braces system.

Invisalign clear braces are a series of customized aligners that cosmetically straighten your misaligned teeth. Dr. Schramm works closely with the Invisalign lab in order to develop a treatment plan designed especially for you. With x-rays, photographs and impressions that we take in our office, Invisalign creates a 3D virtual model of your teeth. Dr. Schramm in turn uses this model to develop the plan that will not only be the blueprint that Invisalign uses to fabricate your aligners, but this plan will also show you the end results before treatment even begins.

Your aligners come in a series of sets—one for your upper arch and one for the lower. Every two weeks, you simply exchange your current set of aligners for the next in the set. As you progress from set to set, you will actually begin to see your smile go from crooked to straight. The aligners gently shift your teeth into optimal position, and treatment can take as few as 12 months to completely correct your smile.

Invisalign clear braces are comfortable, barely noticeable, removable, and easy to clean. And because they are removable, you can eat all of the foods you enjoy most. Go ahead and have popcorn at the movies or bite into delicious corn-on-the-cob at a picnic. You don’t have to worry about trapping food particles or breaking a bracket, which can and does happen with traditional metal braces. In addition, you’ll be able to maintain your regular hygiene routine at home. Brushing and flossing are a pleasure with removable Invisalign clear braces.

Finally, Invisalign clear braces don’t require adjusting, so you’ll spend less time in the dental chair. In fact, you’ll only have to come in to Dr. Schramm’s office every six to eight weeks, so that we can check your progress.

At the general,cosmetic, and restorative dental practice of Dr. Arthur Schramm, we offer a clearly better choice for adults and teens who want straighter teeth. Come in today for an assessment and get started on your Invisalign clear braces treatment with the dentist Charlotte, NC, knows is best.
