How Can Invisalign Benefit Me?
Over 80% of adults are excellent candidates for the Invisalign treatment. Some of the most common problems are: crowding (not enough room for the teeth to be aligned), spacing (too much space between the teeth), overbite (upper teeth cover too much of the lower teeth) and overjet (teeth sticking out or "buck" teeth).
Besides the fact that Invisalign allows you to straighten your teeth without braces, perhaps the one reason people love the most is that they can take out the aligners to eat their food and clean their teeth.
We have included some pictures to show these and some of the other problems. During your consultation with Dr. Eslampour, your specific needs and wants will be discussed more in detail.
Crowded
teeth
This condition is very common among adults. Fortunately, it can be
corrected nicely with the aid of Invisalign aligners.
Spacing
When there
is too much spaces between the teeth, esthetics are greatly affected.
Invisalign to the rescue! The aligners work slowly to close the gaps between
the teeth by actually moving the teeth closer together. Of course, at
times the actual teeth might be smaller than what they ought to be from a
cosmetic standpoint. Closing the spaces in between these already
smaller-than-average-teeth will only make the smile look older and more
aged.
Cross Bite
When the upper teeth are not positioned to the outside of the
lower teeth, the condition is called a cross-bite.
In
the front part of the mouth as immediately seen in your smile, it looks
unpleasant. The tooth most commonly affected is the one right next to the
front tooth.
When the cross-bite is more to the back of the mouth it doesn't so much affect your smile as it affects your entire facial structure. Typically, the cheeks on that side with the cross bite will look sunken in than the opposite side.
Besides esthetics, cross bites have implications in terms of functional problems. These problems need to be discovered and discussed to ensure a pleasant outcome.
Deep Bite
Sometimes the top teeth cover too much (overlap too much) the
lower teeth especially in the front. Deep bite as this condition is referred
to can be quite complicated. It is important to realize that while
Invisalign can improve the esthetic outcome, due to complexities of this
problem, additional treatments might be necessary to correct all of the
problems. Under the correct circumstances though, Invisalign can be
used as the sole treatment with this condition.
Not only is Invisalign versatile, helping correct a wide range of dental and orthodontic issues, but it really works. And there are over one million smiles to back that up. But a confident smile isn't the only benefit of correcting your dental issues with Invisalign, your health can be positively impacted as well. Having straighter teeth makes your home care and personal hygiene much easier leading to healthier teeth and gums.
