In our clinic, we often see patients who have lost teeth due to cracked teeth. Many of these cases are due to malocclusion: crowded or misaligned teeth. Equally prevalent is periodontal/gum disease, which is primarily attributed to poor bite. Malocclusions present oral hygiene challenges for the average patient, with the long-term effects being tartar buildup, bone loss, and gum inflammation. According to Harvard research, gum disease shows an increase in C-reactive protein (CRP), which is extremely damaging to our hearts.
Invisalign has been in clinical use for over 20 years, from G1 to the current G8. It continues to improve clinical predictability and is a proven orthodontic treatment modality that treats many types of malocclusion. The treatment does not require lifestyle changes. It can even be completed in just a few visits and can be monitored remotely by the dentist (virtual care). With the smile simulation feature, you can see your future smile before treatment begins. Most cases can be completed in a few months, and patients can enjoy a lifetime of health benefits.
