A beautifully aligned, white and bright smile can improve your confidence and make you feel like an entirely new person. With our state-of-the-art teeth whitening at Contemporary General Dentistry, LLC., you can obtain your own dazzling smile, but sometimes cosmetic dentistry is necessary to correct teeth alignment and spacing. Until recently, cosmetic dentistry in West Hartford with trusted dentist Dr. Bryan Wilson required the expense and hassle of unsightly metal and wire braces. But now Invisalign is available at Contemporary General Dentistry, LLC in West Hartford, Connecticut! Dr. Wilson is a certified Invisalign provider and will be happy to discuss whether Invisalign would be an appropriate treatment for you.

Invisalign cosmetic dentistry in West Hartford, CT makes that beautiful smile cheaper and easier to attain. Invisalign uses high-tech computer imaging to create a series of transparent and removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets. Invisalign aligners are comfortable, low profile, and custom made clear plastic trays. Most people may not even know you are wearing the aligners. As your teeth change and your smile improves, you will change aligners every two weeks, wearing them for 20-22 hours a day.

There are obvious cosmetic advantages to using Invisalign over traditional metal braces. Not only is this an invisible alternative to metal wires and brackets, aligners can be removed to eat, drink and brush your teeth, giving you a more comfortable fit compared to traditional orthodontics. With this also comes the freedom to eat what you want, whether it be toffee or chewing gum, typical no-nos with traditional braces. Aligners are typically less painful than braces and is often cheaper than other corrective forms of cosmetic dentistry from your West Hartford orthodontists and cosmetic dentists.

Like all dental procedures, there are a few drawbacks. First, Invisalign is a purely cosmetic treatment and other dental problems, like bite correction, still require braces. Some wearers may require attachments fitted to particular teeth that need to be pulled down or rotated. These attachments may be visible. Lastly, like all orthodontics procedures, a retainer will need to be worn at night once you’ve completed your Invisalign procedure to prevent teeth from drifting back to their original crooked state.

If you are considering Invisalign or any other cosmetic dental procedure, please give us a call at Contemporary General Dentistry, LLC. It is time you get the smile you deserve.
