Invisalign
At Lone Star Smiles, we believe everyone deserves a beautifully straight smile, but for some, traditional braces may not fit their lifestyle. That is why we are happy to offer Invisalign clear aligners to patients of all ages.
Invisalign uses a series of custom made, clear retainers to apply gently pressure to teeth while you wear them for 20-22 hours each day. Each tray moves the teeth a little close to the ideal position, but allows you to remove the aligners while you are eating and drinking. You wear Invisalign for two weeks before moving onto the next one, and your progress is monitored periodically at our dental office. After you work your way through all of your aligners, you will have the straight smile you want without the hassle of orthodontic brackets and wire!
Orthodontic Retainers
In order to prevent teeth from moving or rotating, a retainer can be used to keep the teeth in place. At Lone Star Smiles, we can provide a removable solution to patients who find it difficult to cleaning around a permanent retainer, whose old retainers are worn or cracked, or even for those who have noticed their teeth start to shift.
Clear retainers are custom made for each patient and should be worn nightly to ensure they still fit and to prevent soreness during use.
