Invisalign Treatment for Crowded Teeth

Crowded teeth is a dental problem caused by a lack of enough space for teeth to erupt normally which then causes teeth to erupt in an abnormal way. Teeth are overlapped or bunched up. If you have crowded teeth you are bound to experience discomfort, pain, and even embarrassment when you smile.

Invisalign offers dental treatment for teeth straightening using clear aligners that shift your teeth into their proper positions over a period of time.

If you have crowded teeth, your dentist may recommend Invisalign treatment for you. Sometimes some of your teeth will be extracted before the Invisalign aligners are fitted.

Do You Have Crowded Teeth?

If you have crowded teeth, an obvious sign is the misalignment of your teeth. Some other signs are:

• Altered facial appearance
• Discomfort or pain when biting or chewing
• Biting of the tongue or inner cheeks
• Difficulty in speaking or pronunciation of some words
• Breathing difficulties (in severe cases)

Invisalign for crowded teeth can fix the above problems by aligning your teeth properly to improve your bite and give you confidence.

How Can Invisalign Fix Crowded Teeth?

To fix crowded teeth, your Invisalign dentist will take X-rays to create impressions of your teeth. X-ray images will help your dentist see the exact positioning of your teeth and roots as well as any teeth trapped under the gum line.

An Invisalign scanner is used to capture images that help your dentist in designing the aligners.

Invisalign aligners are made of a thermoplastic material that is strong and flexible. It is able to shift crowded teeth for an average duration of 1 year.

You will receive new sets of aligners at each dental appointment, which is approximately every 2 weeks.
