Discreet Options for Straightening Your Smile

If you've been putting off a straighter smile because of the disruption orthodontics could make in your routine, you need to know there are other options available locally. If you're looking for something, aligner trays can do the work of braces for moderate or minor adjustments. There are limits to the improvements they can make, but many if not most cases fall into that window. Since many adults who did not have the opportunity to address alignment issues in their youth put it off because of the visibility caused by braces, options for Invisalign Montreal need to be more prevalent in the public's awareness.

How Does It Work?

Aligner trays are removable, so when you need to eat they get out of the way. At the same time, though, they need to stay in place for 22 hours a day, so patients do sleep with them in. They're also removed for cleaning, though, and the fact that you can clean your aligners separately from your regular brushing makes it convenient. Recently, a teen version of Invisalign has come out with a colored dot that disappears when it's time to put the aligners back in, to help with self-monitoring. Many patients worry about the cost of the system and its drawbacks, but it really is comparable to other treatments, because while the up-front costs can be higher, other costs can be streamlined in some cases. In fact, the less expensive option sometimes changes from patient to patient.

Learning More About Treatment

If you're considering this as an option, you need to learn more about how it will meet your needs. For that, you need a professional consultation because a lot depends on exactly what is going on in your mouth. Generally speaking, though, people without major complications find this option quite accessible, and a consultation can also tell you more about whether your insurance covers this option. It can also be a good way to learn about financing if you are going out of pocket, so don't wait to learn more.
