Teeth whitening treatment can come in a variety of forms. There are gels, toothpaste, whitening strips, and in-office treatments. In-office treatments are the strongest and most efficient way to whiten your teeth.
In-office whitening produces the fastest and most dramatic results of all whitening options. It is completely safe and painless. For this procedure, we use a bleaching material that is spread on your teeth. In-office treatments yield stronger and more noticeable results than at-home or DIY treatments.
One of the advantages of Invisalign ® is the cosmetic benefits it offers. Most of the time, no one will be able to tell that you are wearing your aligners. They are made of clear plastic and are removable, so you can take them out when you are eating or drinking.
Because they are made of plastic, they are generally more comfortable than traditional wire braces. When you cut out the metals, wires, and brackets of traditional braces, you also cut out a lot of treatment time spent in the orthodontist’s office. Invisalign® maps out each stage of your treatment and allows you to see exactly what your smile will look like once the process is finished.
You will be given a clear aligner to wear for about two weeks. You will then be given new aligners to shift your teeth closer and closer to their desired locations. It is important to visit your doctor during this process to keep an eye on your progress. The entire treatment process usually takes between 9 and 15 months.
