If you’re suffering from poor teeth alignment, bite issues, or pain, orthodontic treatment can help. Crooked and overcrowded teeth and other dental problems related to alignment and your bite affect more than just your appearance; they can cause you significant discomfort and even pain.

By using orthodontic treatment to straighten your teeth or correct a bad bite, you set yourself up for future dental health. Teeth in proper alignment are much simpler for you to keep clean, a key strategy for optimal dental wellness. 

Some issues you may face as the result of a bad bite or poorly aligned teeth are:

  • Difficulty chewing food
  • Excessive and early wearing of the teeth
  • Chipping and breaking
  • Poor dental hygiene
  • Predisposition to gum disease

Invisalign

Invisalign is a ground-breaking orthodontic treatment plan that uses custom-made, clear plastic aligners to help transition your teeth from their current position to their desired final location in the mouth. Because the aligners are transparent, Invisalign treatment is virtually unnoticeable, a huge bonus for those wishing for teeth correction but not wanting to draw attention to the process.

How Does Invisalign Treatment Work?

If your dentist recommends Invisalign treatment for your teeth, they will begin by taking digital images and moulds of your teeth. These images and moulds will be sent to Invisalign’s lab, where a computer will custom design a set of clear plastic aligners that will help you achieve your ideal tooth alignment or bite correction over time. These moulds gently shift your teeth into the desired position and replace the wires and brackets used with traditional braces.

What are the Advantages of Invisalign Treatment?

There are many advantages to choosing Invisalign for your orthodontic treatment. These include:

  • The aligners are invisible in the mouth. 
  • The aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, and teeth cleaning. 
  • The treatment length is shorter with Invisalign than with traditional metal braces.
