Can Tooth Crowding be Corrected by Invisalign?

Overcrowding is a relatively common dental problem that prevents you from having good oral hygiene. Overcrowding occurs when there is not enough room in the jaw for all the teeth to come in properly. As a result, teeth can become crooked and grow in out of place. If the problem is left untreated, the overcrowding can get worse. Additionally, crooked teeth can be difficult to clean since there are areas of a tooth that a toothbrush cannot properly reach. Being unable to clean your teeth makes it easier for plaque to grow and increases your chances of developing tooth decay and gum disease. This is why it is important to get treatment right away in order to prevent any further dental problems from occurring.

 

Going through the Invisalign process is much easier than wearing metal braces. Invisalign uses smooth, clear plastic aligners to gradually straighten your teeth over the course of the treatment. Patients enjoy more freedom with Invisalign than other options since Invisalign can be taken out. This requires no restrictions to your diet, and you can clean your teeth just like you normally would. If you are still unconvinced that Invisalign is effective, take a look at our Invisalign before and after crowding photos to see the results others have achieved.
