I really don’t want braces. They take forever, hurt, and look horrible. Would a dental flipper work to just make them look straight?<\/p>\n

Dear Ben,<\/p>\n

\"A

Orthodontics no longer has to mean metal braces<\/p><\/div>\n

I like how you like to think out of the box. That shows a creative mind open to new ideas. Unfortunately, the dental flipper won’t be a viable solution for you. It’s meant as a temporary tooth replacement option. However, I do have two great solutions for you.<\/p>\n

The first will do what you were hoping a dental flipper would accomplish. Snap-on Smile<\/a> will fit snap over your teeth and make them appear straight. However, because they fit over your teeth they tend to make your smile look bulky. You also need to understand their limitations. These aren’t going to be a beautiful smile makeover like porcelain veneers. They’ll look okay. They can even look attractive. But, they won’t be stunning.<\/p>\n

Invisalign\u2014The Modern Alternative to Braces<\/h2>\n

You no longer have to wear traditional braces with their ugly, uncomfortable wires and brackets. Invisalign<\/a> uses clear, comfortable aligners. You wear them in two-week intervals and switch them out for the next set. They’re nicknamed invisible braces because no one can tell you’re wearing them, even at a conversational distance.<\/p>\n

Because they’re removable, you can eat whatever you want. Additionally, it makes it easier to brush and floss. You simply remove your aligners and brush and floss as you normally would.<\/p>\n

A little-known side benefit of Invisalign is the aligners can double as teeth whitening trays. This allows you to get two procedures knocked out in one go. It’s like getting a mini smile makeover. You’ll look and feel great. You’ll also be surprised how much more confidence a nice smile brings you.<\/p>\n
