Straight teeth are an essential component of a healthy, attractive smile, but some patients are reluctant to get orthodontic treatment due to the unnatural, metallic appearance of traditional braces. Now, cosmetic dentist Paul Skomsky's Central Florida office serving Winter Park and Orlando can use comfortable and removable Invisalign® clear braces to help give you a perfectly aligned smile, often in less time than metal braces require. Best of all, no one but you will know that you're wearing the transparent Invisalign® aligners – unless you choose to tell them!
The first step in obtaining properly aligned smile with Invisalign® is to schedule an appointment for a consultation with dentist Paul Skomsky at our welcoming Orlando office serving Winter Park and other Central Florida communities. While Invisalign® clear braces allow us to create striking results for many of our patients, not all cases of misaligned teeth are appropriate for Invisalign® correction. If you are determined to be a candidate for Invisalign® treatment, Dr. Skomsky will identify the ideal positions for your teeth to migrate towards in order to achieve the ultimate effect you'd like, and he will then plan a course of Invisalign® treatment that will allow you to reach that goal. Shortly thereafter, you will receive the first in a series of transparent Invisalign® aligners, each of which will be worn day and night for approximately two weeks while it straightens your smile comfortably and invisibly – simply remove the aligners for meals, brushing, and flossing. While total treatment time varies depending on each individual patient's unique needs and desires, most patients are able to enjoy a perfectly aligned smile with between nine and 15 months of Invisalign® treatment, compared to 12 to 30 months on average for traditional orthodontics. Patients who select Invisalign® also avoid many of the annoyances that accompany conventional metal braces, as Invisalign® aligners contain no wires, metal, or brackets to cause mouth irritation.
To find out whether you may be a candidate for Invisalign® treatment, schedule an appointment at cosmetic dentist Paul Skomsky's Central Florida office serving Winter Park and Orlando. Invisalign® clear braces are often used as part of esthetic smile makeovers at our office in conjunction with other advanced dental treatments such as porcelain crowns and teeth whitening.
