Invisalign
A misaligned smile can negatively impact your confidence and your oral health.
Traditional braces are not the only solution. At Fort Bend Dental, we are preferred providers of Invisalign®, a popular braces alternative.

Why should you choose Invisalign over braces to straighten your smile?
Easy, Comfortable, and Virtually Invisible
Invisalign aligners are made of BPA-free plastic and fit precisely over your teeth. They are barely noticeable, allowing you to feel less self-conscious while straightening your smile.
While the metal brackets of traditional braces can cause irritation and discomfort, the smooth plastic used for these aligners is much gentler on your lips and gums.
Invisalign aligners can be easily removed during meals and while brushing and flossing. This system is much simpler than braces, and allows you to eat whatever you like.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign works much like traditional orthodontic treatment, but without metal wires and brackets. Like braces, Invisalign aligners apply gentle pressure to teeth. Each aligner tray has a slightly different shape than the one that precedes it, so they gradually reposition your teeth over the course of a year or more.

Conditions Addressed by Invisalign
Invisalign can correct many of the same orthodontic problems as braces. Here are a few of the conditions our dentists treat with Invisalign at our Missouri City and Richmond practice:
Crossbite
One arch is shifted too close to the tongue or cheek.
Gapped Teeth
There are noticeable spaces between the teeth.
Open Bite
The upper and lower arches do not make complete contact.
Overcrowding
Teeth are too close together, overlapping in many areas.
While Invisalign can address any one of these conditions, it can also correct multiple issues at once to improve your bite and enhance your smile. Your orthodontic plan will be completely customized to eventually give you a smile that is not only more attractive, but also easier to maintain.
Why Address Dental Misalignment?
This video explains how overbites, underbites, gapped teeth, or overly crowded teeth can negatively affect your comfort and your health.
Do you qualify for Invisalign aligners?
Candidacy Factors
Moderate Misalignment
Invisalign works best for mild to moderate cases. If you suffer from severe malocclusion (misalignment of the teeth), you may require traditional braces.
Responsibility
For best results, patients must wear Invisalign aligners for at least 22 hours a day. They must also follow recommended guidelines and take care not to lose the aligner trays.
Discretion Is a Priority
Many teens and adults choose Invisalign because it is virtually invisible. Your friends and family will not be able to tell that you are wearing an orthodontic appliance.
