Straighter Teeth: The Invisalign Advantage

It used to be that “straightening your teeth” was mainly thought of as something for teenagers, or purely cosmetic in nature, or involving metal braces and wires for a couple of years or more. That is no longer the case. The importance of a balanced and stable bite is no longer viewed as purely cosmetic in nature. The various health impacts of a poor dentitions are well documented. And this applies to both growing teens and older adults. Invisalign makes the process of moving teeth to their proper position much simpler.

Benefits of Invisalign vs Traditional Braces

Invisalign can move teeth much like the traditional types of braces. One huge advantage with Invisalign though, you can take them off for eating and hygiene. No more broken brackets needing to be rebonded to the teeth. No wires poking you in your cheeks. No food getting stuck all over the place. Less trauma on the teeth, cheeks and lips while playing sports. And a much easier time brushing and flossing your teeth for healthier gums. Invisalign makes it easier to have the esthetic results you want without the hassles of traditional braces. Now, let’s look at the improvement for the bite and its impact on your health.

Health Impact of “Bad” Bite

People want their teeth to look good and not cause them pain. But, most people don’t realize the damage their teeth suffer from a “bad” bite such as:

• excessive enamel tooth wear
• chipped or cracked teeth
• excessive bone loss around the teeth
• difficulty and pain with chewing food
• difficulty swallowing
• difficulty breathing while sleeping

These problems are slow developing in nature. And sometimes this damage doesn’t hurt at all. So the patient is not aware of any problems since there is no pain. Watch the following video to learn more about the effects of a poor bite on your teeth and overall health.

And they are giving you something that can (and will) change your appearance. Let’s say you want a tattoo. If there was an online service that would make the template and then mail it to you along with the ink, would you give yourself the tattoo? Probably not. You want it to look good. So why would you undertake a much more complicated medical procedure on your face for the first time?
