While most people think that Invisalign® treatment is something that is only for aesthetic purposes, that is not necessarily the case. Straight teeth are something that everyone can benefit from for both cosmetic goals and oral health purposes. Here are some reasons why clear aligners are an excellent option for people who need them at all ages!
Cosmetic Benefits
The cosmetic benefits that come with completing Invisalign® treatment are enormous. We all know how important confidence is in life and how that energy can open so many potential social and professional doors. If crooked teeth are holding you back from reaching your true potential, then clear aligner treatment is a no-brainer, in our opinion.
Remember, these treatments are called clear aligners for a reason. With Invisalign® aligners, you don’t have to worry about braces ruining the look of your smile. If you listen to your oral health professional and wear your treatment as prescribed, your smile will look amazing before you know it!
Health Risks of Crooked Teeth
While regular flossing and brushing can usually get most people to the next dentist’s appointment without problems, people with crooked teeth must be extra careful while cleaning. Crooked teeth are excellent at trapping the bacteria your toothbrush and floss try to remove. The jagged nature of crooked teeth means bacteria are better at hiding from cleaning products. This means crooked teeth leave you more open to problems like cavities and gum disease.
Crooked teeth have also been linked to problems like headaches and migraines. Worst case scenario, if somebody with crooked teeth does not clean their mouth or go to the dentist, they are also more likely to face terminal illnesses like cancer due to increased exposure to inflammation and bacteria.
Flexible
The beauty of Invisalign® treatment is that it is adaptable to almost any schedule. Kids love clear aligners because they don’t constantly need to go to the orthodontist for adjustments. Teens love clear aligners because they can eat what they want, remove them for sports, and avoid the hassle of braces. Adults love clear aligners because they can change their smiles without committing to the cosmetic lock braces require.
Regardless of your reasoning for looking into Invisalign® treatment, there’s a good chance that you’re interested because it’s removable.
Kids and Invisalign® Treatment
Invisalign® treatment for kids seven and up is a bit different than the clear aligner treatment used for teens and adults. Kids’ treatment is known as Invisalign First®, and it is more about guiding their developing teeth into the ideal place, thus making the need for orthodontic treatment in the future less likely, or even not required.
Most Cases are Treatable
An orthodontist or dentist in the past may have told you your case is too complicated for Invisalign® treatment. While some cases are much too sophisticated for clear aligner systems, a person highly skilled with Invisalign® treatment can even address complex issues.
