\nDo you often find yourself dreaming about having a
\nbeautiful, straight smile that can light up a room? Are you content with the
\nalignment of your teeth? Many adults are unhappy with their teeth, and some are
\neven self-conscious about the image their teeth present. Generally, the go-to
\noption for correcting teeth alignment is traditional braces, but most adults do
\nnot want to undergo the treatment. So, is there a way to straighten teeth
\nwithout traditional braces? Smile by
\nDesign<\/a>, located in Virginia Beach, VA, offers Invisalign<\/a>, a customized alternative to
\nthe metal appliances of regular braces. <\/div>\n

\nWhat is Invisalign?<\/h2>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nOur doctors<\/a>,
\ncaring professionals with years of experience, and their handpicked team<\/a> of expert
\npractitioners are dedicated to helping every patient achieve their dental
\ngoals. We understand that most adults do not wish to deal with the metal
\nbrackets and wires of regular braces, as the tension in the wires can become
\npainful, and the look can seem juvenile. This is why we offer Invisalign<\/a>, which are
\nclear, personalized aligners that fit around the teeth. These aligners are
\nremovable, which allows you to continue eating your favorite foods, brush your
\nteeth, etc. Because the sets of aligners are clear, you can maintain a natural
\nlook without worrying about people focusing on your treatment. <\/div>\n

\nHow Does It Work?<\/h2>\n
\nWhen you come in for an initial consultation, we will
\nexamine your mouth and take 3D images of your teeth. We will plan your
\ntreatment and send the images to a certified Invisalign laboratory. The
\nprofessional technicians in the lab will create your customized aligners, and
\nwhen finished, send them to us. When we receive the sets, we will have you
\nreturn to our office to pick them up. While you receive your aligners, we will
\ninstruct you on which set to start with, how long to wear that set, which
\naligners to switch to, and so on. Within 9-18 months, you will have a
\nbeautiful, straight smile you will be proud to show off to the world. <\/div>\n

\nGet the Smile of Your Dreams<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\nIf you are ready to finally achieve the smile you always
\nwanted, then it is time to ask our wonderful team about Invisalign. Contact us<\/a> today and
\nschedule your consultation. We are happy to provide our treatment to those who
\nlive in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, and the surrounding
\ncommunities. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
