How Invisalign Gave a Tennis Champ a Champion Smile
Serena Williams is known for her stunning performances on the tennis court. She is also known for her stunning smile. Her abilities as an athlete come from years of practice and dedication. Her smile comes from her use of Invisalign aligners. Using the same treatment, an orthodontist can give you teeth that are equally straight and stunning.
A Perfect Smile for a Perfect Athlete
Serena Williams is ranked No. 1 in women’s singles, with victories at the French Open, Wimbledon and the Olympics. Her talent was recognized early, when she became the highest-ranked tennis player under the age of 10. Unfortunately, her perfection on the tennis court was not matched by her teeth, which were less than perfect. In fact, both Serena and her sister Venus were beset by the need to wear braces.
At the age of 16, Serena and her family discovered Invisalign. These invisible aligners offer the following advantages over conventional braces:
- They are comfortable to wear
- They are removable for eating and drinking
- They allow for easy brushing and flossing
Only two years of treatment gave Serena the teeth that could match the perfection of her playing. This in turn gave her the ability to smile with confidence after every victory on the court.
The Importance of Orthodontic Care
Invisalign treatment is designed to correct teeth that are crooked, crowded or gapped. Custom fit to the wearer, they avoid the appearance and inconvenience of conventional braces. The aligners will be removed over a period of time, allowing each tooth to move into the desired position. The normal period of treatment is between nine and 15 months.
