One of the first questions that people will usually ask when they meet a new couple is, how did the two of you meet? Or they might ask, what was it that drew you to the other person? Usually, a lovey-dovey, mushy story will follow that details the circumstances that led to them meeting and eventually falling in love. In 90 percent of the stories, one line that you will hear is, ‘I just fell in love with his or her smile.’
What Is Invisalign?

What is Invisalign? Invisalign is an innovative alternative to conventional metal braces that creates a radiant smile with more comfort and convenience. The unique system straightens the teeth with a series of custom-fit aligners that gradually transform the smile in a comfortable and discreet manner. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign trays are non-invasive without irritating metal wires and bands that can cause discomfort and painful sores. Because the Invisalign system is removable, patients can enjoy a cleaner and healthier mouth while on their journey to a more beautiful smile. Patients who choose Invisalign receive customized care by a specially trained orthodontist who will determine the best course of care for each individual and create a personalized treatment plan.
A smile is one of the first things people see when you introduce yourself. How do you feel about yours? Do you hold out your hand and smile with confidence because you have perfectly straight and white teeth, or do you try to keep your lips closed to hide your crooked teeth? Very few people are born with a Hollywood grin, but your orthodontist in CT uses modern straightening techniques, including the increasingly popular Invisalign braces, to ensure everyone can get a straighter, more beautiful smile.

If you need orthodontic care, you need to consider all your options. Getting a mouthful of pearly white teeth is not easy and requires time, patience and money. Some of the most popular options in Orthodontic care include braces and invisalign.
Metal Braces
Metal braces are considered a traditional orthodontic treatment. However, many people do not look at metal braces favorably because it offers them mouthfuls of shiny metal for unknown periods. The price of orthodontic care varies and is determined by a patient’s dental needs.
Invisalign
This is a new invention in the field of orthodontia. Invisalign allows people to switch out invisible, personalized aligners approximately every two or three weeks to straighten teeth.
They say ‘you are what you eat’ and in many ways, it’s true. A well-nourished person who eats plenty of fresh fruits, lean meats, and raw or lightly steamed veggies is bound to feel more vibrant and energetic than someone who subsists on fast food and soft drinks.
Healthy foods are better for your teeth, too. Strong, well-aligned teeth are just right for biting and chewing. If your mouth and teeth are not in optimum shape, you may find it difficult to bite and chew the food that are best for you. A Southington orthodontist can help you do something about it.
