Of all the cool dental products we carry at our Turlock dental practice, one of our personal favorites is the Invisalign® clear aligner system. Many adults and teens are unhappy with the alignment of their teeth, and for just as many aesthetic reasons why a person might choose to try Invisalign, there are also many valid health reasons. This week, we're going to give you five good reasons to ask your dentist about Invisalign:
Invisalign is a Great Alternative to Braces for Adults
Many people couldn't get proper orthodontic care for any number of reasons when they were younger. As a result, their teeth didn't quite align the way they should. As a person gets older, it becomes less and less likely for them to get braces. If you're an adult, and you've never quite been happy with the alignment of your smile, Invisalign can be an inconspicuous alternative to metal braces.
Invisalign Typically Requires Less Appointments
Compared to most conventional orthodontic treatments, Invisalign should require fewer visits to the dentist, which is a huge benefit for most busy adults. Invisalign Teen® can also be a good orthodontic treatment for busy teens.
Invisalign Can Help Protect You from Periodontal Problems
When teeth are properly spaced, the gums fit around teeth and support tooth structure better. This can help protect your mouth from the perils of gum disease.
Invisalign Can Contribute to Greater Overall Health
When your teeth are properly aligned, it's easier to keep your mouth healthy. When your mouth is healthy, it helps your body sustain better overall wellness. Oral complications can contribute to a greater risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and several other chronic ailments.
Invisalign Can Aid in Speech and Pronunciation
Tooth alignment can drastically affect the way we talk. If you have any issues regarding speech or pronunciation, consider asking your dentist if they think Invisalign might help.
