Do you need to straighten your teeth? Invisalign is the modern alternative to straighten the teeth without wires or metal. The process involves a series of custom trays designed especially for the individuals and the dentists ensure the straightening of teeth. The trays are developed from a smooth plastic covering your teeth and then it gradually moves into the place.

The misaligned teeth lead to problems like –

• Jaw pain
• Headaches
• Excess tooth wear
• Gum disease

The Invisalign treatment consists of a series of custom-made aligning trays and the dentists change the trays every several weeks that fits the new tooth configuration. The Invisalign aligning trays can be temporarily removed for the important occasions – like the duration is patient-controlled.

What are the bite problems can Invisalign correct?

Invisalign is correcting the same dental problems as the traditional metal braces. The difference is that the Invisalign trays are invisible to the naked eye and can be removed easily at will.

The common problems that can be corrected with Invisalign –

Overcrowding

It occurs when there is too little space for the teeth to align normally in the mouth. It also causes tooth decay and also increases the likelihood of gum disease.

 Big size gaps between teeth

It occurs sometimes as the teeth are missing or because the jaw continues to grow abnormally.

Crossbite

The dental problem occurs when one or multiple upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth. The uneven wear can lead to bone erosion and gum disease.

Underbite

It is the inverse of the overbite. The lower teeth project further than, or completely cover, the upper teeth.

Overbite

The problem occurs when the upper teeth project further than, or completely cover, the lower teeth. Eventually, jaw pain and TMJ may occur.
