Having properly aligned teeth is not only vital for your appearance, but it affects the overall health of your mouth. Swollen, red gums can often be the result of having teeth that are too crowded or too widely spaced. When teeth are properly aligned, it helps the gums fit more securely around the teeth, allowing for the strongest and healthiest defense against potential periodontal problems. Straightened teeth will also help to prevent speaking or chewing difficulties, jaw problems, and increased wear on the tooth enamel, which can lead to chipped or broken teeth.

Invisalign is the best way to transform your smile without interfering with your day-to-day life. This treatment consists of a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that you change every two weeks for the next set of aligners. Each aligner is individually manufactured for your teeth, and your teeth only. As you replace each aligner, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position prescribed.

The aligners are completely transparent, therefore far more difficult to detect than traditional wire and bracket braces. This makes the method particularly popular among adults who want to straighten their teeth without the look of traditional metal braces. Because the aligners are removable there are no restrictions to eating. Aligners are only removed to eat, drink, to clean the teeth, or to have them checked by the clinician.

If you are ready for perfectly aligned teeth that improve your appearance and health, Invisalign is the answer.
