When considering treatment options at Duncan Orthodontics, patients often ask us how Invisalign treatment is so different than traditional braces. There’s no question that the Invisalign system is a comfortable and convenient way to correct misaligned teeth, but did you know that using Invisalign can actually help to improve your dental health?
There are a number of different health benefits to be had from using Invisalign to straighten your teeth or correct a misaligned bite. A beautiful smile is generally a healthy smile, so it makes sense that Invisalign, while improving the appearance of your teeth, can also contribute to improved dental health.Here's how:
• Proper alignment leads to healthier gums: Moving your teeth into proper position can help your gums and teeth to form a tighter fit, which is better for your periodontal health.
• Invisalign allows you to easily maintain excellent oral hygiene: With traditional braces, brushing and flossing can be a little tricky. With Invisalign, you can simply remove your aligners and then brush and floss your teeth as you normally would.
• Keeping pressure in the right place is good for your teeth: If your teeth or your bite is misaligned, it is possible that stress is being placed on the teeth, supporting bone and joints of the jaw. Moving the teeth into the correct position can help to alleviate this stress.
More than just a fantastic system that will improve your smile, Invisalign truly can contribute to a healthier mouth.
