THE BENEFITS OF STRAIGHT TEETH

Whether you opt for traditional braces or Invisalign’s clear plastic aligners, one thing is for sure, you’re going to have straight teeth by the end of your orthodontic treatment. And, while a nice smile boosts confidence, you might be surprised to find out that straight teeth can improve your overall health as well.

Benefits of Invisalign

• Clear aligners are virtually invisible when worn, which means your appearance won’t be affected by Invisalign treatment.
• The aligners are not bulky, so Invisalign will not affect your speech.
• Since Invisalign is removable, there are no dietary restrictions during treatment.
• Flossing, brushing, and maintaining proper oral hygiene is much easier with aligners since they are removable.
• Invisalign is more comfortable than traditional metal braces.
• Imvisalign works on all kinds of smiles!

How Does it Work?

Invisalign uses a series of clear plastic aligners, which are shaped similar to a retainer or a night guard for teeth grinding. These aligners are designed to fit perfectly over your teeth and exert gentle pressure to shift them toward the proper position. 
‍
About every two weeks, you’ll switch to a new aligner, and this process will begin again. Each set of new aligners moves your teeth closer and closer to their ideal position. Most patients can be treated with a series of about 20-24 aligners, which means the average treatment time is about a year. It’s important to note, though, that treatment time can vary. If you only have minor teeth alignment issues, your treatment may be very quick. However, if you have more severe orthodontic problems, you may need to wear Invisalign for longer than a year.

Here are five benefits of a straighter smile:

1. It Gives Bacteria Fewer Places to Hide: When you’re brushing and flossing around crooked teeth, you might miss a hidden crevice of food residue. Before long, this lingering debris can cause a wealth of issues, including tooth decay, inflammation, periodontal disease, bleeding, sores and tooth loss. With straighter teeth, you’ll find it easier to whisk away this unwanted bacteria for a cleaner mouth.

2. It Gives Your Teeth a Longer Life: If you have protruding teeth, they’re probably rubbing against other teeth. Over time, this can cause your tooth enamel to wear away. Tooth enamel stands as the first line of defense between your teeth and agents that can cause decay, so it’s vital to maintain it. Straighter, properly situated teeth run less risk of rubbing and, therefore, losing their enamel.

3. It Reduces Your Risk of Injury: You can’t predict when you’ll be in an accident, but you can predict which teeth will be affected by one. It turns out that your upper teeth are most likely to be broken, especially if a crowded upper gum causes them to protrude. By straightening your teeth, you’re giving them more protection in the event of a stumble, bump or fall.

4. It Keeps Headaches at Bay: Interestingly enough, your crooked teeth might be causing you routine headaches. That’s because a crowded set of teeth puts extra pressure on your jaw, which, in turn, can contribute to that pounding feeling in your head, as well as in your face and neck.

5. It Makes You Happier: Finally, as previously mentioned, a straight smile can boost your self-esteem and happiness. The mere action of smiling makes you feel happier and less stressed, and, obviously, you’ll be more inclined to do so with a straighter smile.
