Seven Dental Problems Invisalign Can Help Solve
If you are experiencing dental issues such as malocclusions or bite issues, choosing the right orthodontic treatment is crucial for helping you achieve a healthy smile. Each treatment is uniquely tailored to address the type and severity of your condition. That is why at Milford Dental & Associates in Highland, we offer Invisalign, a modern solution that is customizable and can address various dental issues.
“Malocclusions or bite issues often make your teeth difficult to clean, increasing the risk of plaque buildup and gum disease. They also affect the appearance and your confidence to smile,” says Dr. Justin Leath at Milford Dental & Associates “Fortunately, Invisalign is a versatile solution to address various dental issues by gradually shifting your teeth into their desired position. This improves the appearance of your smile, makes it easier for you to maintain good oral hygiene, and reduces the risk of dental problems.”
Here are some of the dental problems Invisalign can help solve:
- Crowded Teeth
Crowded teeth occur when there isn’t enough space in the jaw for all the teeth to fit normally, making it difficult to clean your teeth and increasing the risk of plaque buildup and gum disease. Invisalign can help straighten crowded teeth by gradually shifting them into their proper positions, making them easier to clean and reducing the risk of dental issues.
- Gaps Between Teeth
If you are experiencing gaps between teeth or diastema, Invisalign effectively closes these gaps, resulting in a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile.
- Overbite
When your upper front teeth overlap your lower front teeth, you are experiencing an overbite. This can cause wear on the teeth and strain on the jaw. Fortunately, Invisalign can adjust the position of your teeth and jaws to correct the overbite, reducing the risk of damage and improving the bite function.
- Underbite
An underbite happens when your lower teeth protrude past your upper teeth, which can interfere with normal chewing and speaking. Invisalign can help to realign the teeth and jaw, improving function and aesthetics.
- Crossbite
Invisalign can correct crossbites by improving the harmony of your bite, preventing further dental complications. A crossbite occurs when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth rather than outside.
- Open Bite
When your upper and lower teeth do not meet when your mouth is closed, Invisalign can gradually shift your teeth into position, closing the bite. This enhances both function and aesthetics, contributing to better oral health.
- General Teeth Straightening
Even if you don’t have major bite issues, having straight teeth is beneficial for your oral health and self-confidence. Invisalign can discreetly and efficiently provide you with a more even alignment, improving your overall dental function and the appearance of your smile.
