Invisalign® For Teeth Straightening
Invisalign® is a patented system of teeth straightening that uses clear thermoplastic material to straighten your teeth. Little plastic trays are custom made to fit over your teeth. Over time, tiny changes are made to the clear aligners that will slowly move your teeth. Patients have to wear the aligners a minimum number of hours per day.
The first Invisalign consultation is free.
Benefits of Invisalign®
There are several advantages of Invisalign®. The aligners are well tolerated by patients. It’s a pretty non-invasive treatment.
Not all cases of crooked teeth are suitable for Invisalign®, but many are. I would have to examine your mouth to see if Invisalign® would work for you and then make a clinical decision. If you require a specialist, then I can refer you to one.
Why is Straightening Teeth Important?
There are lots of reasons, but here are some of the most important ones.
If your teeth are not aligned properly, you may have difficult chewing or even closing your mouth completely.
For some people, crooked teeth are a cosmetic concern.
Severe misalignment of teeth can affect your speech, and it can also affect how your jaws grow.
Misaligned teeth can give you jaw pain if you can’t close your mouth properly.
Your second or adult/permanent teeth don’t come in (erupt) all at the same time. Early misaligned teeth can affect how later adult teeth come in—straight or crooked.
Invisalign® is a great solution for a lot of people. If you would like to talk to me about the misalignment of your teeth, definitely make an appointment by calling 604-758-5840 and come to see me.
