Invisalign Before and After
There are many types of dental and orthodonticproblems which can be helped by Invisalign. Invisalign can work very well for people with small dental issues, such as one or two crowded teeth or a slight overbite or other such irregularity; and can be very effective in a relatively short period of time. Invisalign can also help with more serious forms of dental problems including substantially overcrowded teeth and severe cases of overbite.
Remember, if you are not sure exactly what the nature of your dental trouble is, but you feel your teeth are crooked, flawed or misshaped in some way; and you think Invisalign treatment might provide a solution, then please contact an Invisalign certified dentist or orthodontist who will be able to assess your problem and develop an Invisalign solution specially tailored for you.
In the meantime, here are some of the most common orthodontic problems which have benefited from a programme of Invisalign teeth aligners.
Overcrowded Teeth
This is a problem due to a lack of room within the jaw for all the teeth to fit together properly, leading to misaligned and wonky teeth, uneven or overlapping teeth and causing a lack of proper function. Overcrowded teeth like this can lead to difficulties in cleaning; and can impact negatively on the pleasure and necessity of eating. Because of difficulties in brushing and cleaning the teeth, overcrowded teeth like this can, in some cases, result in gum disease at a later date. Problems can also be caused due to excessive wear as teeth rub against each other.
Spaced Teeth
Spacing issues around the jaw can lead to spaces between the teeth which in turn can be unsightly and cause a number of serious dental problems, not least periodontal diseases including gingivitis and periodontitis. If left untreated, like many tooth irregularity problems, it can lead to tooth decay and tooth loss. An Invisalign certified dental/orthodontic specialist can help rectify this issue.
Crossbite
Crossbite is an irregularity where a lower tooth has an irregular position against the upper tooth. Problems occur when the upper and lower jaws are misaligned. Crossbite can involve a single tooth or a group of teeth. It can be classified in different positions. Invisalign aligners from an Invisalign certified specialist have a good track record of rectifying crossbite problems.
Overbite
Overbites are where one row of teeth overlaps the other set and in many cases is a result of an underlying issue. Overbites can be unattractive creating a need for cosmetic improvement for many people; but treatment is also important as a way to help to prevent future dental damage and health issues. Invisaligncan have a beneficial impact on minor imbalances of overbite and even help more severe forms of overbites. The extra good news is that sustained long-term treatment from specifically created Invisalign aligners will hardly be noticeable by friends, family and colleagues.
Underbite
Underbites are when the lower teeth close in front of the upper teeth. Unfortunately like many dental problems this can become worse as time goes on and so it may be advisable to have a dental, orthodontic practitioner assess the situation. As for many of these issues, Invisalign invisible brace treatments, under the supervision of a suitably qualified practitioner, can have a positive impact. Your dentist may also discuss other dental and orthodontic treatments which can have a beneficial impact.
Invisalign Can Work For You
The above are just some of the kinds of dental and orthodontic problems which can be helped by Invisalign treatments. In fact Invisalign teeth aligners have helped thousands of people with these and other dental problems who require their teeth to be straightened, corrected or aligned in some way. Remember, each of these dental issues will mean a specific situation and treatment for each person involved; and will need a full investigation from your specialist before you are assigned a set of Invisalign aligners. Some people have minor examples of spaced teeth and crowded teeth issues while some people have more extreme cases; but all are unique to the individual and will have arisen, in many cases, due to completely separate reasons. A certified Invisalign practitioner will assess your situation thoroughly and will be able to tell you what the likelihood is of a full or partial correction of your problem. After completion of your Invisalign programme you should be looking right in the mirror at the straight and confident smile that you desire.
