Close Gaps and More with Invisalign!

Achieving a perfect smile naturally can be challenging. Orthodontic problems such as crooked teeth, bite issues, and tooth gaps can cause distress among members of our community. Many are turning to Dr. Orcutt and Invisalign to resolve these issues. Using Invisalign 3D digital technology, we’ll develop a treatment plan to address the orthodontic problems you want to correct. We will create custom aligners based on the 3D scans of your teeth to help you achieve your desired results. These aligners will put the right amount of pressure on your teeth to gently shift them into a straighter position.

Here are some of the orthodontic issues Invisalign can correct:   

• Tooth Gaps

Tooth gaps and other spacing issues ruin your smile’s symmetry and provide hotspots for bacteria to breed. Food particles can get stuck in the spaces between your gums and teeth, leading to plaque buildup and cavities. Invisalign can close tooth gaps, enhancing the health and appearance of your smile while reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.

• Crooked Teeth

Crooked, uneven, or misaligned teeth are often attributed to genetics. Most cases of crooked teeth can be remedied with Invisalign. However, the success of your treatment depends on wearing the aligners as instructed for at least 20 to 22 hours daily. While you can remove your aligners for eating and brushing your teeth, it is crucial to put them back on immediately afterward. The longer the aligners are worn, the sooner you’ll see results in straightening your smile. It may take 12 to 18 months to complete your treatment, but your perfectly aligned smile will make the wait worthwhile.

• Overcrowding

If there’s not enough space for your teeth to come in, you can experience problems with overcrowding. Your teeth may overlap or twist to make up for the space, which makes brushing and flossing difficult. Invisalign aligners will slowly shift your teeth to create space and reposition twisted and overlapping teeth to make your smile more even. In severe cases of overcrowding, Dr. Orcutt may recommend extracting one or more teeth to allow the remaining teeth to align comfortably. However, this is rarely performed when it impacts the patient’s overall health.

• Bite Problems

Invisalign can address minor to moderate overbites, underbites, and crossbites that may affect chewing and speech clarity. By correcting these problems early, you can prevent dental complications in the future.
