Why Should I Correct Crooked Teeth As an Adult?
Crooked teeth are more than just a cosmetic problem. If misaligned teeth are left uncorrected, this can lead to TMJ disorders or other dental complications. Dental problems that may arise from a crooked smile include:
- Tooth decay and periodontal disease as a result of difficulty cleaning between teeth.
- Tooth grinding due to uneven tooth surfaces.
- Jaw strain because the jaw has to work harder to compensate for a bad bite.
- Low confidence or heightened social anxiety from self-consciousness.
Benefits of Invisalign®
Invisalign® is a fast, convenient orthodontic treatment in which patients receive a series of clear aligner trays to straighten their teeth. Some other benefits of Invisalign® include:
- Appearance. Metal braces can cause the appearance of the mouth to be unattractive and they are noticeable. Invisalign® are barely visible in your mouth – your friends, family, and coworkers may not even notice they are there.
- Comfort. Once the metal braces are attached to someone’s teeth, the braces must remain in place until they are professionally removed. Invisalign® are removable. You can remove the trays for eating, cleaning, and special occasions.
- Safety. Invisalign® reduces damage normally caused by wearing conventional metal braces, including gum disease and cavities. The smooth plastic surface will not scratch or damage the inside of your mouth.
- Duration of Treatment. People who wear metal braces might expect results as long as 3 years. Invisalign® can take from only one year to a year and a half to straighten your teeth.
- Knowing What to Expect. Invisalign® are more comfortable than metal braces and provide beautiful smiles much faster. Schedule a dental consultation to find out if Invisalign® are right for you!
