Invisalign! Why do you need Invisalign?

Invisalign aligner trays work best for the following dental problems:

• Gapped teeth are when there are visible and significant gaps between your teeth. This happens mostly due to abnormal and continued growth of the jawbone. Missing teeth that have not been replaced can also cause the surrounding teeth to shift, creating gaps.
• Overbite happens when the upper teeth arch bites over the lower arch when the mouth is fully closed. This is typically a result of genetics, bad oral habits and underdeveloped jaw bones. It can result in gum problems and basic irritation including decay and cavities in the lower set.
• Under bite is when the lower teeth are covering part of the upper teeth when biting. This can disrupt normal functioning of your primary chewing teeth, molars. Painful jaw and TMJ disorders can develop from this.
• Open bite is when the jaw does not fully close leaving a gap between the front teeth.
• Overly crowded teeth are when the teeth are bunched close to one another due to lack of room on the jaw bones.

Cross bite is when both jaws are misaligned and some bite over the lower teeth while some bite under. This is generally uncomfortable and can cause teeth wear, gum disease, and bone loss.
