All you need to know about INVISALIGN
Invisalign:
Given the choice, would you opt for braces or clear aligners for teeth straightening? If clear aligners are your preference, you’re in good company. Over the past few decades, Invisalign has surged in popularity as a method for aligning teeth.
Among the pioneering clear aligner products is Invisalign, which hit the market in 1998 courtesy of Align Technology. Since then, various other brands like Zenyum, ClearCorrect, and SmileMe have entered the market with their clear aligner offerings.
Let’s delve into the capabilities of Invisalign, and its effectiveness, and weigh its pros and cons.
What dental conditions do Invisalign address?
Crooked teeth
Crooked teeth refer to misaligned or irregularly positioned teeth that deviate from the normal alignment or straight pattern within the dental arch. This condition can manifest as teeth that are rotated, crowded, or tilted, leading to an uneven appearance in the smile. Crooked teeth can result from factors such as genetics, inadequate jaw space, early loss of primary teeth, or oral habits. Orthodontic treatments, like braces or clear aligners, are often employed to correct the alignment of crooked teeth for both functional and aesthetic purposes.
Crowded teeth
Crowded teeth occur when there is insufficient space in the dental arch to accommodate all the teeth properly. This can lead to teeth being tightly packed, overlapping, or twisted within the available space. Crowding can result from a variety of factors, including genetics, insufficient jaw size, or early loss of primary teeth. Crowded teeth may pose challenges for maintaining proper oral hygiene and can contribute to issues such as tooth decay or gum disease. Orthodontic interventions, like braces or clear aligners, are commonly used to address crowded teeth by gradually repositioning them for improved alignment and function.
Gapped teeth
Gapped teeth, also known as diastema, refer to the presence of noticeable spaces or gaps between two or more teeth within the dental arch. These spaces can occur anywhere in the mouth but are often seen between the upper front teeth. Gapped teeth can result from various factors, including differences in tooth size, missing teeth, or discrepancies in jaw size. While some people embrace the unique aesthetics of gapped teeth, others may seek orthodontic treatments, such as braces or clear aligners, to close the gaps for both cosmetic and functional reasons.
Malocclusion
(Issues with the way your teeth fit together). Malocclusion is a dental term that refers to the misalignment or incorrect positioning of the teeth when the jaws are closed. It essentially means that the upper and lower teeth do not fit together properly, leading to issues with the bite. Malocclusion can manifest in various forms, such as overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite, and it can result from factors like genetics, thumb-sucking habits, early loss of teeth, or jaw misalignment. Orthodontic treatments are often used to correct malocclusion, improving both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the bite and smile.
