Orthodontics Available Without Metal Brackets and Wire Braces!

If you are in the Wichita, Kansas, community and are looking for orthodontic care, don't overlook the benefits of working with the team at East Wichita Dentist! Drs. David Koepsel and Ashton Pargman are dedicated to helping patients reach their oral health goals. This includes the realignment of the smile. While most practices will encourage patients to consider traditional braces with metal brackets and wires, our team may recommend an alternative option known as Invisalign.

How Does Invisalign Work?

We see many patients of all ages with questions about Invisalign and how it works. This orthodontic treatment is provided by our dentists and offers the same final results as conventional metal appliances. Instead of utilizing metal brackets and wires to realign the teeth, Invisalign works by using clear aligner trays created in a series from start to finish. Patients wear the trays every day to properly realign the smile as directed. Because these trays are made of medical-grade clear plastic, they are challenging to discern when wearing–allowing for an almost-invisible treatment! Patients are in control of their trays and use each one for two weeks before moving on to the next. They must be worn for at least 20 hours daily to achieve the desired results in the quoted timeframe.

What are the Benefits of Invisalign?

There are several advantages to using Invisalign as an alternative to metal bracket-and-wire braces.

Invisalign:

• is clear, providing discreet treatment
• can be removed for brushing and flossing the teeth
• provides fast movement of the teeth, resulting in shorter treatment times
• is easy to clean, care for, and use
• is comfortable and smooth along the soft tissues
• allows you to enjoy all your favorite foods
