Malocclusion is defined as crooked teeth or a misaligned bite. If you have malocclusion, Dr. Pinnavaia, Dr. Yeager, and Dr. Yun may suggest Invisalign® in Charlotte, North Carolina, to help you reach a straight smile. Invisalign is a set of aligners that is designed specifically for your smile. They are worn over the teeth for 20 to 22 hours each day to gently straighten the smile. Every week or two, you will receive the next set of aligners to further your straightening treatment.
Having straight teeth has many benefits to you and your smile.
Better Oral Health
Red, swollen gums can be the result of teeth that are too crowded or gapped. Unhealthy gums are a sign of gum disease. With straight teeth, the gums can fit more properly around the teeth.
Proper Oral Hygiene
Properly cleaning crooked teeth can be very difficult. Overlooking plaque and food particles often happens when the teeth aren’t properly aligned. Straight teeth are much easier to care for. In addition, cleaning your teeth is much easier with Invisalign than with braces, as Invisalign aligners are removable.
