When it comes to orthodontics, the focus of most people is aesthetics. Crooked, misaligned or overcrowded teeth can be an eyesore, to say the least. Gaining a beautiful smile is a great reason to undergo Invisalign treatment. At the same time, you can enjoy all the oral health benefits that straighter teeth have to offer. Invisalign teeth straightening from Chalfont Dental Care in Chalfont, Pennsylvania, gives you both in one convenient orthodontic treatment.Â
Oral Health Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign addresses a wide range of orthodontic issues to improve your smile’s health and appearance. At the top of the list are crooked and misaligned teeth, followed by issues with your bite, gaps between teeth and overcrowding. After evaluating your smile and discussing the goals you want to achieve, Dr. Varvara Clark will create a treatment plan to put you on the path to a straighter, healthier smile. Using advanced Invisalign technology, your teeth will be straightened with greater accuracy and precision to achieve the results you desire. By the end of your treatment, you’ll have a smile that’s stronger, healthier and more aesthetically pleasing.Â
Here are some of the oral health benefits you can gain from Invisalign treatment:
Better oral hygiene – You’ll find oral hygiene a breeze after straightening your teeth as you’ll be able to brush and floss with greater ease. Those areas of your mouth that were hard to reach before will be more accessible after your treatment. Invisalign can help streamline your oral care routine.
Fewer problems with decay and gum disease – Improved dental hygiene will lead to fewer problems with decay and gum disease. Straightening your teeth minimizes plaque buildup, as bacteria have fewer places to breed. Diligent brushing, flossing, and routine cleaning will keep your teeth healthy and strong, so you can enjoy your beautiful new smile well into the future. Â
Less wear and tear/improved chewing – By correcting bite issues, Invisalign can improve your chewing power and reduce undue wear and tear on your teeth. You’ll have no pain when you chew, which will make eating a joy again.
Eliminate jaw pain and TMJ symptoms – Crooked teeth can cause problems with malocclusion or imbalances in your bite. An irregular bite can put pressure on your jaw joints, leading to jaw joint disorders like TMJ. Jaw pain, facial tension, and a popping noise when you open or close your mouth are common TMJ symptoms. Invisalign corrects bite issues to minimize or eliminate joint disorder issues. Â
