Misaligned teeth can cause patients to feel self-conscious about their appearance. When teeth are crooked or out of place, they can negatively affect the smile. Patients may avoid smiling, talking, or laughing, or speak to others while disguising their teeth with their hand.

This is no way for patients to go through life, hiding an imperfect smile. This is why Dr. Michaela McKenzie of Dazzling Smiles may suggest solutions such as Invisalign.Invisalign is a wonderful way for patients in the Atlanta, GA area to improve their smile without having to hide behind crooked teeth.

This method allows providers to readjust the teeth with trays. Known as “aligner trays,” these trays snap into place over the dental arch. They are made to be extremely precise, fabricated from digital impressions and used to create an entire series of trays for the full realignment process.

The number of Invisalign trays in one’s series will vary depending on the amount of misalignment the patient is dealing with. Mild cases will require fewer trays than more moderate cases of dental arch and bite misalignment.

Patients using Invisalign are required to follow the recommendations given by Dr. Michaela McKenzie. This method of orthodontics requires patients to comply with instructions to achieve the results they desire. Invisalign aligner trays should only be removed by patients when eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. Otherwise, they should be in place with the dental arch, even when patients are sleeping. This allows them to reposition the teeth and allow individuals to see the results sooner.

Dr. Michaela McKenzie is one of the few Invisalign preferred providers in Atlanta, GA. She encourages patients to consider non-metal orthodontic solutions such as this.
