Do you or your child have misaligned or crooked teeth that you would like to fix? Count on the talented dentists and orthodontists at Family Dental Care of Wilmington to handle your family's orthodontic needs in Wilmington, NC. We offer both traditional braces and modern Invisalign.
Invisalign is an alternative orthodontic treatment that has grown in popularity in recent years. If you're looking for a more discreet straightening method, Invisalign may be right for you. At Family Dental Care of Wilmington, serving Wilmington, NC, we are proud to offer Invisalign treatment as one of their orthodontic services.
Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their desired position. These aligners are custom-made for each individual patient, ensuring a comfortable and effective fit. Treatment time can vary depending on the complexity of your case, but for many patients, Invisalign can achieve the same results as traditional braces in just 6-18 months.

One advantage of Invisalign is its nearly invisible appearance. Because the aligners are clear, most people won't even realize you're wearing them. Additionally, Invisalign aligners can be removed when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making them a more convenient option than braces.
Of course, Invisalign treatment is not right for everyone. It may not be the best choice for patients with certain orthodontic issues, such as severely crooked teeth or a significant overbite. However, for many patients, Invisalign can provide a more discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces.
Orthodontics is the correction of malocclusion, or the misalignment of teeth. Your teeth may be improperly aligned for a variety of reasons. Crooked teeth may be caused by embryonic conditions, missing teeth, accidents, genetics, diseases, or bad habits, the most common of which is thumb sucking.

While minor misalignment is only a cosmetic nuisance, severe malocclusion can cause a variety of problems, including jaw pain, tooth decay, and ultimately the loss of teeth and jaw damage. These issues may lead to eventual issues with your general health, so consult an orthodontist to determine the severity of the situation as soon as you can.
