If your dentist suggests orthodontic treatment, you may want to block out their advice. Understandably, the word “braces” can make any adult groan. The last thing you want to imagine is months of wearing braces. Invisalign, however, has changed the landscape of orthodontia, making straight teeth a reality for millions of adults and simplifying the idea of what it means to wear braces.
It helps to think of orthodontic treatment as a positive and not a negative. The many benefits of straight teeth can make you a lot happier forever for only the cost of several months of inconvenience. If the only type of braces you can envision are metal ones, it’s time to retrain your brain. Invisalign could be a viable option for your teeth.
Here are just some of the reasons Invisalign makes the entire orthodontic experience more attractive:
There are many ways an adult can straighten their teeth. Some opt for cosmetic dentistry like porcelain veneers because this procedure conceals crooked teeth along with plenty of other imperfections. If you need to correct a misalignment problem for more than aesthetic reasons, however, orthodontics are necessary.
Patients who have regularly suffer from cavities, TMJ problems, or grind and clench their teeth can benefit greatly from orthodontics. When your teeth aren’t straight, it’s far more difficult to get in all the nooks and crannies for thorough brushing and flossing – cavities are often inevitable.
Problems with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can cause jaw and mouth pain. Grinding and clenching teeth can be a side effect of TMJ issues and can lead to problems like tooth erosion, gum recession, damaged dental work, headaches, pain, and more.
