The Smile Issues That Invisalign Can Treat
If you want a smile that you can show with pride, Invisalign aligners could be the solution you’ve been looking for. Invisalign can be used to treat a variety of dental problems from teeth overcrowding to misalignment. Dr. Scott Wingard and Dr. Caleb Morris are dentists at Summerville Dentistry in Augusta and Evans, GA. They offer Invisalign treatment as an alternative to traditional braces.
Which Teeth Alignment Problems Can Invisalign Treat?
Invisalign is perfect for treating the following conditions:
- Overcrowding: if your mouth is small and your teeth are overlapping, this can make it difficult to brush and floss, which will increase your risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
- Overbite: your upper front teeth protrude too far over your lower front teeth, making it difficult to eat.
- Underbite: your lower front teeth protrude too far over your upper front teeth, making it difficult to eat.
- Crossbite: some of your upper teeth are behind your lower teeth when you bite, which can lead to chipped teeth.
- Irregular spacing: Small gaps between the teeth can increase the risk of plaque buildup and gum disease.
- Open bite: your upper and lower teeth do not come together when you bite down.
Invisalign Benefits
Residents in Augusta and Evans can benefit from Invisalign treatment in the following ways:
- Discreteness: Invisalign aligners are transparent, so they are practically invisible.
- Comfort: Because Invisalign aligners are made from a flexible material, they are much more comfortable than traditional braces.
- Ease: You can remove Invisalign aligners when before you eat or clean your teeth, enabling you to eat the foods you like and practice good oral hygiene.
