Many of those who could benefit greatly from Invisalign® do not seek treatment because they feel that they are not an ideal candidate. By learning how Invisalign can help you improve your smile, oral health and mouth function, you can determine if visiting a dental professional for Invisalign treatment is appropriate.
The ideal candidate for Invisalign treatment is someone who wants to improve their smile, fix a misalignment with their jaw or improve their oral health. The following review highlights each reason to consider Invisalign treatment and how it can help.
Although treatment can improve oral health and function, Invisalign is primarily a cosmetic treatment. Patients who are not happy with their smile due to misshapen teeth, teeth that are too spaced out or crowded teeth can benefit from Invisalign. The treatment works by pulling and pushing teeth into the proper position over time. The process is monitored by the Invisalign dental professional, who ensures that the patient can meet their goals.
Teeth that are crooked or overcrowded make it more challenging to brush all areas of teeth, resulting in an increased risk of cavities and other oral health concerns. By straightening one's smile through Invisalign, a patient can reach all areas of their teeth while brushing and improve oral health overall. Therefore, dentists and orthodontists commonly recommend Invisalign to patients who are in poor or non-ideal oral health due to misalignment concerns, in addition to the cosmetic benefits they offer.
Jaw misalignment refers to the upper jaw not matching up properly with the lower jaw. This is often referred to as a crossbite, overbite or underbite, depending on the type of misalignment. Often, this results from teeth that are overcrowded or crooked, but bite complications can sometimes occur even with relatively straight teeth. If this is the case, then patients should consider a visit to the Invisalign dentist to determine if treatment can benefit them.
Teeth and jaw misalignment is often thought of as a cosmetic issue, but it has an impact on oral health as well. Crooked or overcrowded teeth make it more challenging to reach all areas of the teeth while brushing, and jaw misalignments may increase the risk of issues such as teeth grinding and TMJ disorder. Therefore, patients who have teeth or jaw misalignment that affects their oral health should consider Invisalign treatment, even if it does not cause a cosmetic issue.
