Invisalign is a clear orthodontic aligner which is used to treat issues related to malocclusion.
It works similar to dental braces, i.e. pressure is applied to the teeth to bring about a change
in their alignment and position. In the recent years, they have become highly sought-after as
they are virtually undetectable. This spares the patient from the embarrassment of using
dental braces.
Why should you opt for Invisalign?
Crooked or misaligned teeth are said to affect over 74% of the individuals in the USA.
Crooked teeth often lead to gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontal as they act as a
breeding ground for microbes. If left untreated for a long time, misaligned teeth could lead to
change in the shape of the jawbone and also the loosening of the teeth from their sockets.
Invisalign helps resolve many such malocclusion issues such as crowding of teeth, excessive
the spacing of teeth, too long teeth and various types of a bad bite.
