Clear Aligners

You want straight teeth, but you don’t want anything to do with noticeable metal wires and brackets. This is understandable, especially for busy adults and self-conscious teens. Don’t despair – you can have the smile you’ve always wanted. Schedule a consultation with certified Invisalign provider, Dr. Betty Mathew in Ladson, SC, and you may discover that you’re an excellent candidate for Invisalign clear aligners.

The Benefits Of Wearing Clear Aligners

Clear aligners deliver a host of amazing benefits. Anyone who wears them already knows they’re in a sweet spot with Invisalign on their teeth instead of unmovable dental braces. Here are just some of the things to love about clear aligners.

  • They’re discreet. These clear, nearly invisible trays are incredibly hard to see on the teeth, so when you speak, smile, or pose for photos, no one will know you’re wearing Invisalign.
  • They’re comfortable. Brackets and wires are smaller than ever but they are still known to snag lips and cheeks and tongue. Invisalign doesn’t do that. The trays are smooth and easy to wear.
  • You can eat whatever you want. Wearers of convention metal braces have many food restrictions. Just pop out your clear aligners and eat whatever you like, as long as your tender, shifting teeth can manage it.
  • They don’t interfere with your life. Patients who qualify for Invisalign go about their daily lives with little interruption from clear aligners. The only things you must remember to do daily is brush after meals before the trays go back in your mouth and wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day.

The biggest benefit of clear aligners and any alignment method is that the patient ends up with healthier teeth. Cosmetic changes are of course noticeable, but when you finally have straight teeth they will also be easier to clean and keep healthy. That means a lower risk of tooth decay, gum disease, enamel erosion, and other oral health problems.

Find Out If You’re A Good Candidate For Clear Aligners

Almost every type of misalignment that can be corrected with metal braces can be addressed using Invisalign. This makes clear aligners particularly enticing to adults who want to fix their alignment without sporting noticeable orthodontics – but first, you need to find out from your dentist if you are a good candidate for this type of treatment.

  • Undergo an examination: Invisalign can only begin once it’s determined that you are a good candidate for the treatment. Your Ladson dentist will conduct a dental exam, take 3D images of your mouth to review the position of your teeth, and review your overall oral health.
  • View the treatment plan: Using special software, your dentist will design your entire Invisalign treatment from start to finish. You’ll see just how many aligners are needed throughout, how long treatment will take, and what your smile will look like when the work is complete.
  • Say “yes” to clear aligners: If after all this preparation you decide to go forward with Invisalign treatment, your first sets of trays will be ordered. When they arrive, your dentist will show you how to insert and remove the aligners. You may also need attachments on your teeth to help shift your alignment as effectively as possible.

Update: Another smooth visit. Could not recommend more!

Convenient hours and office location. I went there for a second opinion on a complicated issue and stayed for keeping up and cleaning and fillings.

The dentist, Dr. Mathew, is caring, honest and extremely qualified, unlike the other dentists who exaggerated what the amount of work. I wish I had switched sooner.

My hygienist is extremely experienced thorough and simply awesome - she does such an amazing job!

The only place in North Charleston/Ladson that I seriously highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words Lyudmyla. We appreciate you taking your time to share your experience with us. We look forward to seeing you in your future visits with us. Thank you.

Edit: it has been almost four years Dr. Matthews is taking care of me. I love the compliment professional service I receive from this practice. No problems whatsoever. She sees potential problems and proactively takes care of them and my teeth health has been excellent.
Long story short: Dr. Mathews literally saved my life.
Long story: During pandemic, I found Ingelside family dental from a well respected friend of mine. My dentist had closed at the time. None of the dentists till then have detected any cavities either. During my first appointment I was pleasantly surprised at the length Ingelside went to take precautions for safety during pandemic. In the first visit Dr. Mathews detected three cavities, one I have had suspicion about myself. She took care of two of them, and asked me to consult an oral surgeon to remove one wisdom tooth with serious decay. I said yes, and it was pandemic and promptly ignored her advice. Come 2021, I had a series of health issues, including old sport injuries waking up. To the extent I spent almost 1k on orthro and other remedies, while Dr. Mathews literally asking me to take care of that tooth. When she saw what I filled up about my new problems, she suggested it might all be worked out as serious inflammation can cause old injuries hurt. She and her office made all arrangements to get my tooth extraction, and Viola all my problems disappeared. I am now able to enjoy my life without wincing in my joint pains. Thank you Ingelside family dental!

I needed a wisdom tooth removed and I have a phobia of losing teeth but the entire team went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable with the procedure and explained the process clearly. My favorite part was when I got to put on my favorite music! It settled my nerves completely and was able to get the tooth removed with no pain! Thank you again to everyone at Ingleside Family Dental you guys rock!

I have had such a wonderful experience here. Everyone is so friendly and helpful!! I hadn’t been to the dentist in 10 years and was terrified to come. Dr Matthew and Kim and Mary have all been fantastic. I had to have deep cleanings to get my oral health back on track and they have taken such great, gentle care of me.
I will recommend this office to any and everyone looking for kind, efficient, and friendly dental care! 💓💕🫶🏻
