East Longmeadow, MA \u2013 Dr. Lisa Emirzian, an Amherst general dentist at EMA Dental, is offering the Invisalign system of invisible braces to the practice\u2019s patients.
\n\u201cInvisalign is very different from traditional braces,\u201d explains Dr. Emirzian, acosmetic dentistry practitioner. \u201cAnd it offers a number of advantages.\u201d<\/p>\n
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear plastic aligners to move teeth gradually and gently over time. There are no brackets or wires. At the start of the process, impressions are taken and then customized aligners are made. Every two weeks, the patient swaps an old aligner for a new one. Little by little the teeth move, giving you the smile you\u2019ve always wanted.<\/span>One advantage Invisalign offers is that the aligners are removable. Patients can take them out to eat, drink or brush.\u00a0 Because they only need to be worn around 20-22 hours a day, you can also remove them for special occasions.\u00a0 The ability to remove the aligners is a particular advantage when it comes to brushing your teeth.<\/p>\n \u201cTraditional braces can make it hard to keep teeth clean,\u201d notes Dr. Emirzian, theAmherst dentist. \u201cWhen you can remove the aligners, you can brush your teeth normally. So you\u2019re much less likely to experience cavities or other problems when the treatment is finished.\u201d<\/p>\n The Invisalign system is very sophisticated. \u201cMany patients believe that the system only works for correcting fairly minor orthodontic problems,\u201d observes Dr. Emirzian, who also is a dental implants provider. \u201cHowever, an experienced Invisalign dentist can use the system to correct malocclusions, crowding, open bites or spacing and rotation issues.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOur patients have remarked on how comfortable Invisalign is and how easy it is to use,\u201d notes Dr. Emirzian. \u201cThey can have the smile they\u2019ve been looking for without living with a mouthful of metal braces. They\u2019re thrilled.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a9 2011 Master Google and EMA Dental group.
