Health Benefits of Invisalign
July 1, 2022
Did you know that investing in Invisalign offers many benefits beyond the perfect smile?
Abnormal bites or misaligned teeth can lead to a number of oral health issues. According to the ADA(goes to new website), failing to correct your bite can result in “tooth decay, gum disease, tooth loss, speech problems, wear to tooth enamel, and jaw problems” (ADA).
Thankfully, proper orthodontic treatment such as Invisalign can be used to solve or even prevent these issues. Once your teeth are back in alignment, it will be easier to take care of them, bite into your favorite foods, and feel more comfortable with your smile.
Cleaning Teeth Will Be Easier Than Ever
As mentioned above, misaligned teeth can be harder to clean. Since these teeth may be crowded or overlapping each other, it is much more difficult to floss and brush them properly. Improper care can eventually result in tooth decay and periodontal disease.
Invisalign trays will straighten out your smile, making all of your teeth much easier to brush and floss.
Treatment Can Help Your Speech
Severe underbites or crossbites can also result in speech issues. Misaligned jaws or placement of the teeth can restrict the movement of your tongue, resulting in a lisp or speech impediment.
Using Invisalign to shape your smile can reverse this issue and help you speak and communicate with confidence.
Fixing Alignment Can Help Prevent Grinding
Grinding during sleep can occur if the top and bottom sets of your teeth do not match up. This results in the deterioration of the enamel, which can lead to painful infections. (Cedar Walk Dentistry)
With Invisalign, your teeth will slowly start to go in their proper place, greatly reducing the risk of grinding.
Invisalign Can Improve Your Bite!
You may find it difficult to bite into your favorite foods with a misaligned smile. Aligners will slowly move your teeth so you can eventually bite and chew with ease.
Once your treatment is complete, your mouth will feel so much better!
Invisalign Can Positively Impact Your Mental Health
Once you achieve the smile of your dreams, you can also gain more confidence in yourself! If there is something about your smile that has been bringing you down, fixing it can lead to a positive impact on your mental health and well-being.
Invisalign offers many health benefits that go beyond the look and appeal of a perfect smile. Putting your teeth back into place can have a positive impact on your overall health and prevent a variety of oral health problems.
