Crooked or crowded teeth can be more than an aesthetic concern. They can also negatively impact your oral health by changing the stability and function of your bite and also make effectively cleaning your teeth difficult, both of which can lead to problems in the future.
What Are Invisible Braces?
Dr. Bruce Spink is a Birmingham, AL Invisalign® provider offering treatment with clear aligners for a wide range of dental health and cosmetic concerns. Many people think of pre-teens or teenagers when braces are mentioned but they are a valuable treatment for adults as well. Invisalign invisible braces offer a discreet way to have straighter, healthier teeth for both teens and adults. The system will gently and discreetly reposition your teeth in a little over a year, with little impact on your daily activities.
Patients can still enjoy their favorite foods and while maintaining good oral hygiene with Invisalign. The clear aligners are designed to be worn for about 22 hours a day without irritating the gums or sensitive areas of the mouth. The aligners are easy to remove when it’s time to clean your teeth or to swap them out based on your treatment plan.
Am I Too Old For Invisalign?
Even though the teeth are set in place by adulthood, that does not mean you are too old or it’s too late to consider orthodontic treatment to straighten teeth. Many adults receive treatment with traditional metal braces or use Invisalign invisible braces with positive results. Invisalign can be used to treat mild to moderate orthodontic issues, and it can also be used to correct minor tooth movement after previous orthodontic treatment. Invisalign also offers patients options to treat underbite, overbite, and tooth spacing concerns.
Why Should I Straighten My Teeth?
Straightening crooked or overlapping teeth is beneficial to more than your appearance. Crooked teeth are more prone to damage and decay and may cause more problems in the future. Serious overbite and underbite issues can also affect dental health by changing the stability of your bite. Plus, teeth that are aligned properly are easier to brush and floss, reducing your chances of decay and plaque buildup.
