As one of the most popular forms of teeth straightening, there are many benefits to Invisalign® treatment. It is helpful to know the various ways this process can improve a smile and help patients achieve a higher level of confidence each day.
Straighter teeth are the most notable cosmetic benefit, but there are other both direct and indirect ways in which the treatment can help a patient's overall appearance. The following are four key ways in which Invisalign® can improve a smile and reasons to consider treatment.
The primary purpose of Invisalign® is to help the patient achieve straighter teeth. The treatment is perfect for individuals who have mild to moderate teeth misalignment. The fact is, teeth do make a difference in overall appearance, and the straighter one's smile is, the more attractive the person is likely to appear to others. Invisalign® fixes crooked teeth, crowded teeth and gaps between teeth to help patients improve their smile and become more confident showing off their pearly whites each day.
However, Invisalign® is not only about straightening teeth but also about improving jaw alignment as well. Individuals with bite complications often find a reliable solution with this treatment, improving overall jaw position. Overbites, underbites, crossbites and other malocclusions are not typically as attractive as a straighter bite, and Invisalign® pulls teeth into a better position, resulting in a better jaw alignment in many instances.
A less-discussed benefit of Invisalign® is improved oral health. While it does not directly affect the health of a person’s teeth, which primarily depends on a consistent oral care routine, having a straighter, more attractive smile often encourages people to be more responsible about taking care of their teeth. Also, straighter teeth ensure each area of every tooth is able to receive care while brushing and flossing, which often results in fewer cavities, whiter teeth and an overall more attractive smile.
Straighter teeth that are clean and white help many develop a higher level of self-confidence. This confidence may show itself in every avenue of life, including relationships, professional environments and meeting new people for the first time. Many who go through Invisalign® treatment find they are more willing to go out socially and interact in public. Those with straighter teeth may also be more willing to go after the promotion they want at work, knowing they will feel confident smiling during the interview and each day on the new job.
