Correct Your Bite with Invisalign

Let’s face it, not everyone is born with perfectly aligned teeth. Gapped, rotated, or tilted teeth can make you feel insecure about your appearance, but did you know they can create more than just aesthetic concerns? In some cases, the alignment of your teeth can also affect your bite. If your upper and lower teeth don’t come together in harmony, it can lead to a variety of issues that impact your oral health and your quality of life. Luckily, you can invest in your smile using a nearly invisible solution. Invisalign in Edison can straighten your teeth while also correcting your bite.

Complications from an Improper Bite

When your upper and lower teeth don’t come together as they should, it can lead to a variety of complications, like uneven enamel erosion, jaw pain, and an increased risk for broken teeth. It can also affect your quality of life because simple tasks like biting and chewing can be more difficult. Some patients may even have breathing issues or difficulty speaking.

You don’t need to live with the consequences of an unbalanced bite. Invisalign can be used to correct a variety of bite issues. Your dentist will perform an extensive consultation to ensure clear aligners are right for you.

Correct Your Bite with Clear Aligners

Traditionally, metal braces are used to correct bite and alignment issues. While they are effective, they have their disadvantages, like a noticeable appearance. Invisalign resolves the common complaints of metal braces without compromising the end result.

Your dentist takes an impression of your mouth to create a series of clear aligners that are worn over your teeth for about 22 hours per day. You wear each aligner in the series for 1-2 weeks before switching to the next. On average, it takes about 12 months to finish your series of aligners, but the duration of your treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case.

Benefits of Clear Aligners

When compared to traditional braces, Invisalign offers exceptional benefits, including:

• Discreet appearance to smile confidently during your treatment.
• Smooth aligners prevent irritation to the inside of the lips and cheeks.
• No need for adjustments to spend less time in the dental chair.
• No dietary restrictions because the aligners are removable.
• Easy oral hygiene routine because there aren’t any brackets or wires.
• Quick results in about 1 year.
