Invisalign is an option for straightening teeth without braces.
Invisalign is commonly used to correct crooked teeth, crowded teeth, overbite, and deep bite. More than merely an aesthetic procedure, Invisalign is also used to align the mouth and teeth.
For cosmetic cases, Invisalign can be a conservative approach to help keep the teeth aligned which can make other procedures more conservative in the future. For those with crooked or crowded teeth, Invisalign is helpful not only in producing a more attractive smile, but in maintaining better oral hygiene. Crooked and crowded teeth are harder to clean, which gives them a tendency to decay faster and loose bone more quickly. By fixing those issues, it becomes much easier to keep the teeth cleaner.
The clear aligners involved in Invisalign are removable, which means you can eat the foods of your choice without damaging brackets or getting food stuck in wires. Keeping your teeth clean during treatment is also much easier with Invisalign vs. traditional metal braces.
