What Can Invisalign Treat?

OVERBITE

An overbite is present when the upper teeth excessively overlap the lower front teeth. Overbites are common and often don’t present an issue, but when the gap is too large, they can become a problem. The misalignment not only leads to premature wear and tear, but can also cause jaw pain. Invisalign® can shift your teeth into a healthier position without the need for braces.



UNDERBITE

Underbites occur when your lower front teeth sit in front of your upper arch of teeth. Often, underbites happen when the lower jaw is too far forward. An underbite can make it difficult to chew or speak properly and cause premature teeth to wear. In some cases, underbites can be alleviated with Invisalign® alone, but more severe cases may require oral surgery before beginning orthodontic treatment.



CROSSBITE

In an ideal bite, the upper front teeth sit slightly in front of the lower front teeth. A crossbite is present when some upper teeth sit behind the lower teeth. A crossbite can cause wear and tear, like chips or cracks. The pressure of your bite can sometimes lead to gum recession, resulting in sensitive teeth and even bone loss. Invisalign® can fix certain cases of crossbites, so come in for a consultation to find out which orthodontic option is best for you.



GAPPED TEETH

While common, gaps between your teeth can create significant risks to the health of your smile. Gaps are challenging to clean, making them accessible places for food to get stuck in, and they can harbor bacteria that lead to gum disease. Close those gaps with Invisalign® for a seamless, healthy smile.

OPEN BITE

For those with healthy alignment, the upper and lower front teeth touch when the mouth is closed. If this is not the case, it’s called an open bite. Open bites can make chewing or biting certain foods extremely difficult. Invisalign® can gradually reposition the bite until all teeth are aligned and straight.

CROWDED TEETH

When your teeth overlap due to a lack of room in your mouth, it is called crowding. Crowding can make brushing and flossing difficult, allowing plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria to build up. Over time, this buildup may lead to tooth decay, cavities, and even gum disease. Fortunately, Invisalign® can remedy most cases of crowded teeth.

  • How Are Invisalign Clear Aligners Made?

    Invisalign aligners are crafted with layers of photo-sensitive liquid resin, designed from impressions of your teeth. Once exposed to a special light, the resin cures into a hard and flexible thermoplastic called SmartTrack®, which was created exclusively for Invisalign treatment. It's got the approval of the FDA too!

  • How Do I Take Care Of My Aligners?

    One of the biggest benefits of Invisalign is the ease of use and maintenance. Keep your aligners clean by brushing them with a toothbrush whenever you brush your teeth. If you’re out and about, you can simply rinse the aligners in lukewarm water. The most important thing to remember is to never use hot water or abrasive cleaners, as they can warp the plastic, rendering them ineffective, or even detrimental to your treatment. If you’re interested in a more thorough cleaning regiment, you can also purchase an Invisalign Cleaning System.

  • Can You See The Invisalign Aligners When You’re Wearing Them?

    Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible while they are being worn. Most people won’t notice them at all! Not only is the plastic clear, but there are no bulky metal brackets or wires to draw attention to your teeth. Plus, your aligners are custom-made to fit snuggly and are trimmed down so they don’t show over your gum line.

  • How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

    In most cases, the cost of Invisalign treatment is comparable to that of traditional braces, but pricing will vary depending on your unique oral health needs. For a more accurate estimate, schedule a consultation with your doctor today! Many insurance plans also cover some orthodontic treatments, so be sure to call your provider to get the details of your benefits.

  • Are Clear Aligners Better Than Braces?

    Both orthodontic treatments effectively straighten teeth. Braces can be a great option if you have highly misaligned teeth, are younger, or lack the discipline required for clear aligner treatment. On the other hand, Invisalign® may be just the thing for older teens and adults who want an almost undetectable method of alignment that's more comfortable than traditional braces.

  • Is It Ok To Eat Or Drink With Invisalign?

    As a rule of thumb, remove your clear aligners before consuming anything other than tap or bottled water.
