There are many adults who aren’t happy with their smile because their teeth aren’t as straight as they want them to be. Having visible braces on your teeth as an adult can be very embarrassing and uncomfortable. Fortunately, Invisalign® aligners can help you get the straight teeth you want without all of the pain that comes with conventional braces. The following guide walks you through three common misconceptions about invisible braces that you should know.
The Aligners Are Held in Place by Small Brackets
Many people are fearful to get the aligners because they think that they can come out of their mouth when they talk or even yawn. This isn’t possible because small clear brackets are attached to your teeth that the invisible braces attach to so that they stay secure in your mouth. This ensures you can laugh, sing, talk, and even cough without having to worry about your aligners coming out of your mouth.
You Don’t Eat with the Aligners in Your Mouth
Some people assume that they will have to eat soft foods once they get the invisible braces, but that isn’t the case. You pop the aligners off of the brackets and place them in a carrying case before you start eating. You don’t want to eat with the aligners in because it could cause damage to them or your gums. Once you finish eating, you simply brush your teeth and put the aligners back in place. It’s a very simple process overall.
The Aligners Aren’t Noticeable to Everyone Else
It’s common for people to think that the aligners are very shiny and thus very noticeable to other people around them. This isn’t the case at all. Once the aligners are put on your teeth, they look just like your natural teeth. The clear design allows the shade of your teeth to show through the aligners so that they aren’t obvious to others. They truly are invisible braces.

Excellent service and treatment!

Category: orthodontistWe have been seeing Dr. St. Loius at Central Texas Orthodontics for a couple kids now over several years. Everytime we walk in for an appointment, we are greeted warmly and promptly taken back. The office is easy to get to and always runs on time, we have never had to wait to be seen, which is remarkable for a medical/dental office! The payment options were also fair and easy to understand. And the follow up, even after those braces come off, has been stellar! Retainers get lost or chewed up sometimes (ugg!), but a quick text into the office and we were able to drop off the original molds and have new ones made very quickly. Everyone who works at this office truly cares, and you can tell they all enjoy where they work, which is really wonderful to see. I cannot speak highly enough of this office, the staff, the care, and ESPECIALLY the after care and protecting our investment.

Category: orthodontistDr. St. Louis and his staff are exceptional! Their professional, friendly and caring manner stand out every time I have an appointment. They are always very positive during my visits and make me feel like I’m part of their family. I never have to wait to be seen and I’m usually out in a minimal amount of time. I had my last orthodontic visit recently and they invited me to stop in anytime, just to say hello. I highly recommend Central Texas Orthodontics to anyone needing their services. They are truly the BEST!

Category: orthodontistDr. B. and his team are fantastic: Everyone just truly cares! They are knowledgeable and super helpful, always happy to consult. I recommend CTO not only for children and teens, but for adults as well! My two teenage daughters got their braces and I got my Invisalign. Dr. B. took his time to go over all our treatment plans and make adjustments. The communication is seamless and very responsive. All team members are wonderful - my special shoutout goes to Beatrice and Christen though: Those two lovely ladies go above and beyond with everything they do! Thanks to y’alls fabulous care our teeth are all straight now!
