Straightening with Invisalign®

Straightening your teeth can improve your oral health by making your smile easier to care for. Invisalign® uses nearly invisible aligners to discretely straighten your teeth. Most people will not realize that you are straightening your teeth at all. But is Invisalign right for you? Will Invisalign correct your alignment problems?

Invisalign can be used for a number of alignment and bite issues. The main problems that Invisalign can correct are as follows:

• Gapped teeth: Gaps between the teeth can lead to increased risk of gum disease.
• Overbite: The upper teeth sit over the lower teeth. This can lead to gum issues, wear on the lower teeth, and jaw joint problems.
• Underbite: The lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth. This can thwart the proper function of the front teeth and molars, which leads to tooth wear. Underbites can also lead to jaw joint issues.
• Open bite: Some teeth are not able to touch the opposing teeth. An open bite can cause poor chewing and speech impairment. This can also lead to TMJ disorders.
• Overly crowded: Overcrowding in the teeth occurs when there is not room in your jaw for all of the teeth to fit properly. Crowding can lead to plaque accumulation, tooth decay, and an increased risk of periodontal disease.
• Crossbite: There is misalignment in both the upper and the lower jaws. One or more of the upper teeth will sit on the inside of the lower teeth. This can lead to wear in the teeth, gum disease, and bone loss.

If you have a dental issue that is not addressed here, please contact your dentist for more information.
