Why Would I Choose Invisalign Over Traditional Braces?

Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional metal braces. The most obvious is that Invisalign aligners are clear, making them nearly invisible to others. This is especially appealing for adults or teens who want to straighten their teeth without the noticeable appearance of metal braces. Additionally, Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss with ease, making oral hygiene much easier. Invisalign also tends to be more comfortable because the aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth, reducing irritation and discomfort often caused by the wires and brackets of traditional braces.

How Often Do I Need to Visit My Dentist While Using Invisalign?

While traditional braces often require frequent visits to the dentist for adjustments, Invisalign generally requires fewer visits. Typically, you’ll visit Cambridge Family Dental every six to eight weeks to monitor your progress and receive new aligners. These brief visits help ensure your treatment remains on schedule. Since the aligners are changed every one to two weeks, your visits will mainly focus on ensuring that your teeth are moving as planned.

Is Invisalign Treatment Suitable for Teens, or Is It Just for Adults?

Invisalign treatment is suitable for both teens and adults! For teens, Invisalign Teen aligners are designed with a special feature that helps track whether the aligners are being worn for the recommended amount of time. This ensures that treatment stays on course, even for younger patients. Whether you’re an adult who wants a discreet way to straighten your teeth or a teen looking for an effective and comfortable solution, Invisalign can be a great choice.

Can I Play Sports or Musical Instruments While Wearing Invisalign?

Yes! One of the great benefits of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable, allowing you to continue doing the things you love without interruption. Whether you’re active in sports or play an instrument, simply remove your aligners before engaging in these activities. It’s important to wear a mouthguard during sports to protect your teeth, but you can easily store your aligners in their case while you’re playing.

What Happens If I Lose or Break an Invisalign Aligner?

Accidents happen; if you lose or break an Invisalign aligner, don’t worry! First, contact Cambridge Family Dental right away so we can provide guidance on what to do next. If it’s early in your treatment, we recommend using your previous aligner until a replacement is made. If you’re further along in your treatment, we may provide you with a replacement aligner. The most important thing is to avoid skipping your aligners, as this can delay your progress.

Dr. Angela Bauer Williams

Hello! I’m Dr. Angela Bauer, and I would like to welcome you to my dental practice in beautiful Cambridge, Wisconsin. The most important part of my practice is taking care of my patients in a compassionate and honorable way. I will treat you like I treat my own family and friends, with utmost honesty and your best interests at heart at all times. Because my practice is a locally-owned small business and not a corporation, we can focus on doing the right thing for our patients. We only hire the best people and use the best materials for our patients to ensure healthy, long-lasting, and beautiful treatment. My practice is designed with your comfort in mind, from the inviting waiting room upon entry to the relaxing view with gorgeous landscaping and wildlife from our treatment rooms. We even have blankets and headphones for your comfort.

I utilize only the most modern and proven techniques and materials in treatment. That way, my patients get all the benefits of the best care possible. We have all the latest technologies, including digital scanners for optimal results, digital x-rays for precision, and even intraoral cameras to take pictures of teeth. That way, if you do need treatment, we can show you exactly why, so there is no uncertainty.

I have been in practice for over 20 years, and during that time I have strived to be the best dentist possible for my patients. In 2017 I was honored with a Fellowship Award from the Academy of General Dentistry. Just this year, the same Academy awarded me with a Mastership, which only two percent of practicing dentists currently hold. That is my practice! I am Dr. Angela Bauer, and I invite you to come and see why we are different.
