Are you interested in Invisalign or Invisalign Teen for your child? Are you asking yourself ‘is it the right choice for me’?
Maybe you’ve already had a consultation with a dentist, and you’ve been told that Invisalign can straighten your front teeth, and that’s all that really matters, right?
Wrong!
Invisalign is capable of a huge amount more than that, in the hands of a skilled Orthodontist.
Invisalign technicians can do the ‘easy’ bit of straightening the front teeth, although we’ve heard many horror stories of dentists getting into trouble due to a lack of orthodontic knowledge and training.
It is more than possible to correct your bite and improve jaw function with Invisalign.
Importance of a good bite
Why is this important? You might ask. Over-bites, under-bites, cross-bites and open-bites can cause severe problems if left untreated.
Your jaw muscles are very strong. They generate considerable force as your teeth bite together.
If your bite is not correct, it can pass that force onto your teeth in a way that creates problems.
A bad bite can ultimately loosen teeth, cause teeth to fall out, cause sore ligaments, fracture your teeth, contribute to a receding gum line, cause painful or clicking jaw joints, and lead to agonising headaches and neck pain.
Problems that can be expensive to fix in later life.
So yes, a proper bite is an important part of a smile for life. You should never let a dentist tell you thats its not important.
We at Crotty Orthodontics want you to have a smile that lasts a lifetime.
