Crowded or Crooked Teeth? No Problem! Try Invisalign
Many people have the common misconception that metal braces are the only treatment for adults with crooked teeth. This can be undesirable for those who associate braces with the awkward teenage years, or those who simply don’t have the time to adjust their life around clunky metal braces.
Luckily, there is a new option that can benefit many people: Invisalign!
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is essentially a set of clear braces for adults. Rather than using the clunky metal braces, Invisalign users have a set of removable liners that are customised to their teeth.
These braces are comfortable to wear, and essentially invisible. No one else will be able to tell you’re even wearing them. No more embarrassment about the need for braces.
Each set of braces needs to be worn for a set amount each day. Patients will receive a new customised set every one or two weeks or as recommended by the orthodontist. Each set will gradually shift the teeth more and more, aligning them into the perfect smile everyone wants to achieve.
Invisalign braces are perfectly biocompatible for wear in a human mouth. There are little to no risks associated with the material. Your dentist or orthodontist can easily tell you whether or not there are risks associated with your individual case.
What Can Invisalign Fix?
Orthodontists recommend Invisalign for crooked or crowded teeth, which do not fit properly within the mouth. They can be pushed forward or backward because of the lack of space. This can make it more difficult to brush and floss. In many cases, crooked teeth can put many adults at risk for the development of gum disease.
Invisalign can fix issues with crooked or crowded teeth. These invisible braces can also fix overbites or underbites, which can cause deep pain to the jaw. Invisalign clear aligners can shift the jaw and teeth to achieve the perfect bite.
They can also fix gaps. This can occur when there is too much space left between two or more teeth. Food can easily become stuck in the gaps, and this can put the patient at a greater risk of gum disease as well.
If you find yourself with gapped teeth, our clear braces are just the thing to push them back together gently and efficiently.
Will I Have to Change My Routine?
One of the best things about Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. That means you wear your braces during the day and at night, then take them off to eat, drink, floss, or brush your teeth. You can still eat all your favourite foods without worrying about stuff getting stuck in your braces. This treatment is not at all intrusive on your life or daily routine.
