Invisalign Clear Braces
THE INVISALIGN DIFFERENCE
One of the primary concerns people often have about dental braces is the aesthetic impact of the metalwork on their smile. Especially for adults, the prospect of wearing unattractive metal braces for long periods of time can be very discouraging.
Invisalign® offers an almost invisible aligning system that straightens teeth fast and contains no metal. Invisalign® treatment consists of a series of custom-made aligning trays. The dentist changes the trays every several weeks to fit the new tooth configuration. If you have questions about Invisalign®, please contact our office for more information and a consultation with Dr. Whitney Queen.
What kind of bite problems can invisalign correct?
Invisalign® corrects the same dental problems as traditional metal braces; the only difference is that Invisalign® trays are almost invisible to the naked eye, and can be removed at will.
- Overcrowding…when there is too little space for the teeth to align normally in the mouth, which can cause tooth decay and increase the likelihood of gum disease.
- Large gaps between teeth…when there is too little space for the teeth to align normally in the mouth, which can cause tooth decay and increase the likelihood of gum disease.
- Crossbite…which occurs when one or multiple upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth. As a consequence, uneven wear can lead to bone erosion and gum disease.
- Overbite…occurs when the upper teeth project further than, or completely cover, the lower teeth. Eventually, jaw pain and TMJ may occur.
- Underbite…the inverse of the overbite; the lower teeth project further than, or completely cover, the upper teeth. Eventually, jaw pain and TMJ can occur.
