Straighter teeth improve your smile and oral health, which is a crucial indicator of overall health, well-being, and quality of life. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry survey, 99.7 % of adults believe that a great smile is an important social asset. Straight teeth are not just a good look and aesthetics; they have multiple benefits. Better tooth alignment helps your gums fit around your teeth better, which reduces your risk of developing gum disease. If your teeth are straight, you will experience less wear and tear. A misaligned bite can cause uneven distribution of force with each bite. Straighter teeth give you more confidence when you smile. They are easier to clean with fewer hard-to-reach spots.
Living with crowded teeth can impact your life in several areas, like your self-esteem and oral health. They are also a leading aesthetic concern for adults. If you are like most people, you don’t want to deal with the visibility or restrictions of metal braces to correct them. As an alternative to brackets and wires, many teens and adults are turning to Invisalign, which moves your teeth into their ideal positions to give you the healthy, straight smile you deserve. These clear aligners move teeth using gentle forces, guiding your teeth through a series of positions until you reach your end goal – a fabulous, straight smile. Invisalign aligners are used primarily to correct misaligned teeth and improve appearance and dental health. It leads to increased self-confidence and more accessible dental care.
How does Invisalign work? First, the dentist takes impressions of your teeth to ensure a high degree of accuracy throughout the process. These impressions are used to make plaster models of your teeth, transforming them into a highly accurate 3-D digital image. A computerized movie shows the movement of your teeth from the beginning to the final position. The doctor reviews and, if necessary, adjust the treatment plan. For each stage of your unique treatment plan, you will get a customized set of clear and comfortable aligners from BPA-free plastics. You wear each aligner for about two weeks. The dentist will be with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and ensure your aligners fit correctly. After wearing all your aligners in the series, you get the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted.
