Can Invisalign® cause tension headaches?

The short answer is yes – especially at first. There are always some adjustments to be made when starting any orthodontic treatment. However, most patients never or rarely experience them, and headaches become less likely as you wear down each tray.

Can I get Invisalign® with crowns?

Yes, you can, depending on the number of crowns you have installed. If only one or two of your teeth have been modified with crowns, then you can still wear Invisalign® or any teeth-straightening method.

Can I get Invisalign® with veneers?

Technically yes, but why would you? Veneers are temporary porcelain fillers used to close the gaps left between teeth. Invisalign® trays can actually eliminate the need for a veneer altogether.

Can I get Invisalign® with implants?

Dental implants are an advanced option to deal with tooth loss. However, as implants are attached directly on to the bone with a tiny screw, their position cannot be modified with any type of alignment treatment. This includes clear aligners and traditional metal braces alike.

How do I take care of my Invisalign® trays?

Taking proper care of your oral hygiene will be essential if you want your Invisalign® treatment to succeed. Make sure you keep the following in mind: Follow your dentist’s instructions to the letter Change your trays as indicated by your dentist Rinse and brush your aligners every night Brush and floss after every meal, before putting the aligner back on

Top INVISalign® Providers in the tampa area

Misaligned teeth, unsightly gaps, or even biting problems are not just a beauty problem. In addition to the impact they may have on your self-esteem, they can also harm your long-term oral health. The extra space and irregularities they create amidst your pearly whites can create great spaces for bacteria to thrive. This can make cavities or even tension headaches much more likely for decades to come.

Benefits of Invisalign®

Because your aligners are clear and fit snugly against your teeth, they’re virtually invisible and won’t interfere with your daily activities. You’ll be able to talk and smile without anyone noticing that you’re straightening your teeth. This is the benefit that patients love most.

Because your aligners are removable, you’ll be able to enjoy your normal diet without any restrictions on the foods you love. You’ll also be able to remove your aligners for brushing and flossing your teeth, requiring little change to your home care routine. Invisible aligners are truly a great way for busy adults to straighten their teeth without the hassles or cosmetic impact of metal braces.

Invisalign® Treatable Causes

Invisalign® is a popular orthodontic treatment that can be used to correct a wide variety of different dental problems. Some of the most common reasons why people opt for Invisalign® treatment include:

Invisalign® in St. Petersburg and Tampa FLORIDA

Serving The Tampa Bay Area

Invisible aligners like Invisalign® and ClearCorrect differ from traditional metal braces in several ways. Mainly, instead of requiring a set of metal wires to remain on your teeth 24/7, they rely on a series of removable, custom-made trays that slowly push your teeth back to their right position.

These trays are made from a completely transparent synthetic material, which is almost impossible to notice by someone who is talking to you. They need to be worn at least 5 days a week, for at least 22 hours a day – that is, you will only be removing them when eating or drinking. A full treatment course can include anywhere between 5 and 12 different trays; and as you wear each set, your teeth will slowly shift where you need them to be.

There are two big brands that currently dominate the market for invisible aligners in St Petersburg, FL and around the rest of the country: Invisalign® and ClearCorrect. For both cases, the full treatment plan will last between 5 to 12 months, depending on the starting teeth position and the desired results. At Modern Day Smiles, we offer both solutions to our patients depending on their case.

Invisible aligners versus Metal Braces

For older folk asking about invisible aligners in St Petersburg and Tampa, FL (especially for their children), it’s common to wonder why the old metal braces are not enough. In addition to discretion, invisible aligners offer several advantages over traditional metal braces. These include:

Shorter treatment time. Traditional braces required a year or two of wiring, with constant adjustments and visits. Clear aligner trays only take between 6 to 12 months.

Normal diet habits. Metal braces can make it very painful to eat solid or tough foods, especially at first. With clear aligners, you will just need to remove the tray before mealtimes, and you’ll be able to eat as normal.

Better oral hygiene. The possibility of getting food stuck between your teeth was an ever-present threat with metal braces. With clear aligners, normal brushing and flossing after meals will be enough.

Protecting your gums and lips. Mouth abrasions and cracked lips are common among those who wear metal braces, especially while doing sports. Clear aligner trays just need to be removed before the football match!

"I have been a client of Modern Day smiles for well over 3 years. The staff and Dr. Patel have been amazing throughout the years. Very friendly and honest. The hygienists are very thorough and my teeth always feel super clean after they are done. I tried other dentists in the past and I am very happy with my change. I even drive all the way from Brandon (45 minutes) because of how Dr. Patel and the staff treat me."

"I love them! I feel like they are family, always sending reminders about appointments and also calling. They find the best treatment plan for you, giving multiple options. I was told at another dentist I would need a deep cleaning, but this dentist wanted to try a different option first. This option ended up working and saved me a ton of money and the pain that comes with a Dee cleaning. I 100% recommend this place!"

"I was a walk in with my left jaw looking like I caught a punch from Mike Tyson. With in 15 minutes I was getting x-rays I had an infection at the root of one of my teeth, a couple weeks of antibiotics and some very skilled work done by the Dentist and all is well. I will need some more work done but I have full confidence that I came to the right place. The staff working their are very nice as well!"

The hygienist that cleaned my teeth went above and beyond. I got the best cleaning of my life and she was so gentle she didn't even need to numb me.
