Invisalign Dentist Longview TX

Why Choose Invisalign?

Invisalign can be an effective solution for addressing a variety of dental issues, including:

• Crossbite: This condition occurs when the jaws are misaligned, causing some upper teeth to overlap with the lower teeth while others bite underneath. This misalignment can lead to tooth wear, gum disease, and potential bone loss.
• Underbite: An underbite happens when the upper teeth sit behind the lower teeth, affecting the normal function of your chewing teeth, particularly the molars. This condition can result in painful toothaches and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
• Overbite: In the case of an overbite, the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth when the mouth is closed. Common causes include genetics, poor oral habits, and underdeveloped jaw bones. This misalignment can lead to gum issues and discomfort, as well as decay and cavities in the lower teeth.
• Open Bite: An open bite is characterized by a gap between the front teeth when the jaw is closed, preventing a complete closure.
• Gapped Teeth: Gapped teeth occur when there are noticeable spaces between individual teeth. This issue can arise from abnormal growth patterns of the jawbone or may result from not replacing a missing tooth, which can cause adjacent teeth to shift and create gaps.
• Crowded Teeth: Sometimes, there may be insufficient space on the jawbone, leading to overcrowded teeth that are tightly packed together in a smaller arch.

Invisalign aligners consist of clear, smooth plastic designed to fit over your teeth. These aligners apply gentle pressure to gradually move your teeth into their desired position. You'll need to wear each set of aligner trays for about two weeks, continuing this process until your treatment is complete.
