Discover the Clear Alternative to Metal Braces
Understanding Crooked Teeth
Crooked teeth are more than just a cosmetic concern; they can impact your oral health and overall well-being. Causes of misaligned teeth include genetic factors, early loss of baby or adult teeth, improper fit of dental restorations, and habits like thumb-sucking in childhood. Even the natural growth of teeth can lead to misalignment.
How Dental Misalignment Impacts Your Smile
The impact of crooked teeth extends beyond aesthetics. They can lead to difficulties in cleaning, increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease, and can cause extra stress on chewing muscles, leading to headaches, TMJ syndrome, and neck, shoulder, and back pain.
If you experience any of the above issues, seeking professional dental care is important. Book a consultation with Dr. Darley to discuss your treatment needs and goals.
Introducing Invisalign – The Clear Alternative to Braces
Invisalign is a cutting-edge approach to straightening teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place. It combines convenience, comfort, and discretion to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.
- Visibility: Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, offering a discreet solution compared to noticeable metal braces.
- Comfort: The smooth plastic of Invisalign aligners means no sharp edges or wires, ensuring greater comfort.
- Convenience: Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss with ease.
- Customization: Each aligner is custom-made using 3D computer imaging technology for a precise fit and effective treatment

Invisalign aligners may cause minor discomfort when a new set is first worn, but this usually subsides quickly. Overall, Invisalign is less painful than traditional braces.
Can I eat and drink while wearing Invisalign aligners?
Removing your aligners while eating or drinking anything other than water is recommended to prevent staining and damage.

Some patients might experience a brief adjustment period affecting speech. However, most apt quickly to the aligners, with any minor speech changes dissipating shortly after beginning treatment.
How do I care for my Invisalign aligners?
Clean your aligners with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the plastic. We also recommend using Invisalign cleaning crystals or a gentle, non-abrasive toothpaste.

One of the advantages of Invisalign is that there are no food restrictions, as you remove your aligners while eating or drinking. Just ensure you clean your teeth before reinserting the aligners.
How does Invisalign feel in the mouth?
Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, comfortable plastic and are custom-fitted, so they feel comfortable in your mouth without the irritation that traditional braces can cause.
