Health Benefits of Straight Teeth
Aside from a beautiful straight smile, Invisalgin can have overall straightening your teeth through an Invisalign dentist can actually significantly affect your overall dental health. Straightening your teeth can vastly improve not only your dental appearance but will greatly improve your dental health.
Healthier Teeth and Gums
Misaligned and crooked teeth can cause food and plaque entrapment. This leads to red, swollen, inflamed gum tissue–the first sign of periodontial disease. When teeth are properly aligned and cared for, the gum tissue is able to stay healthy minimizing the risk for potential periodontal problems. With invisalign, you’re not only improving the appearance of your teeth, you’re making the foundation, you gums, much healthier.
Easier Cleaning
One of the biggest challenges of having braces is removing all the food that gets trapped in the brackets and wires. This can often lead to plaque buildup and eventually tooth decay. With Invisalign, the aligners are removable, so it’s easy to continue brushing and flossing your teeth the way you normally do.
Overall Health
Think of your teeth as a window to the health of your body. Your teeth and gums — and how they look to others when you smile—say a lot about your overall health. If you’re taking good care of both, you’re probably taking good care of the rest of you. And correctly aligned teeth can also alleviate the issues that can be caused by an improper bite, speech or chewing difficulties, jaw problems, and increased wear on the tooth enamel.
