In order to straighten your teeth, Invisalign entails wearing a set of clear aligners. Although crooked teeth are the most common reason to use these invisible braces, Invisalign can also repair other tooth issues. The following are some dental conditions that invisalign can treat:
Gaps in Teeth
If food becomes caught between your teeth due to spaces, your risk of gum disease increases. This may develop in infections, redness, sore gums, and other concerns that require immediate attention. By repositioning your teeth, Invisalign can help eliminate any gaps or holes. After wearing these aligners, your teeth will be more consistently spaced, rather than having gaps between them.
Overbites
An overbite occurs when your upper front teeth overlap your lower front teeth when your mouth is closed. Even if it’s not obvious, a tiny overbite might not be a problem. However, a deeper overbite may result in jaw pain and worn-down teeth. By directing your teeth to a better position without overlapping, wearing Invisalign can help address overbites. This can make it simpler for you to bite down without damaging your teeth or putting undue stress on your jaw.
Tooth Crowding
If there isn’t enough room in your mouth for all of your teeth to fit, they may get crowded. Your teeth may then start to overlap or curve as a result. Additionally, teeth that are crowded may be pushed in front of or behind neighboring teeth. Due to the difficulty in maintaining proper oral hygiene, having this tooth issue can raise your chance of developing gum disease and tooth decay. Without treatment, crowded teeth may also deteriorate further. You may solve this issue using Invisalign so that your teeth are straight and fit comfortably in your mouth. This can result in a better smile and a decreased risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
