Common Orthodontic Issues Invisalign® Can Treat
Clear aligners are more versatile than many people realize. Invisalign can address issues that affect both the appearance of your smile and how your teeth function day to day. With the right treatment plan, many of these concerns can be corrected comfortably and discreetly.
- Crowded teeth: Aligns overlapping teeth to create cleaner spacing and reduce future oral health risks.
- Gapped teeth: Closes visible spaces between teeth that can impact confidence and trap food.
- Overbites and underbites: Encourages a more natural bite pattern and reduces wear on certain teeth.
- Crossbites and open bites: Enhances chewing ability and protects against uneven tooth wear.
Invisalign® For Teens Vs. Adults
Invisalign works well for both teens and adults, but the benefits may look a little different depending on your age. Teens love how clear aligners let them straighten their teeth without feeling self-conscious, and adults appreciate being able to improve their smile while staying professional. No matter your lifestyle, Invisalign can often fit right in.
- For teens: Blue wear indicators help track usage and improve accountability.
- For teens: Aligners are removable for sports, instruments, and social occasions like school photos.
- For adults: No food restrictions or frequent adjustments make it easy to stay on track.
- For adults: Straightens teeth discreetly while fitting into work, parenting, or travel routines.
Mild Vs. Moderate Misalignment Cases
Invisalign is designed to treat a wide range of alignment problems. Mild issues often involve slight crowding or small gaps, while moderate cases may include noticeable overlapping or bite irregularities. We’ll evaluate your bite and let you know what’s possible.
- For mild cases: Minor crowding or spacing between front teeth that doesn’t affect your bite.
- For mild cases: Slight shifting after braces or aligners that needs cosmetic correction.
- For moderate cases: Noticeable crowding or overlapping that may require more aligners and time.
- For moderate cases: Mild overbites, underbites, or midline shifts that affect how your teeth fit together.
When Braces Are A Better Fit
Some cases require more control than clear aligners can provide. If you have significant bite problems or need to move teeth that are rotated or impacted, traditional braces may offer a better outcome. Our goal is to help you choose the treatment that gives you the best results.
- Severe bite problems: Require the control and precision of fixed orthodontic appliances.
- Rotated or impacted teeth: Often need traditional braces or additional support to shift properly.
- Mixed treatment plans: Some patients benefit from starting with braces, then switching to aligners.
Custom Treatment Planning Based On Your Needs
Your Invisalign experience is completely personalized from the beginning. Using digital imaging technology, we’ll map out how your smile will change over time and walk you through your custom treatment timeline. You’ll know exactly what to expect at every stage.
- Digital scans: Create a 3D model of your mouth to visualize movement before treatment begins.
- Treatment timeline: Personalized to your goals, case complexity, and expected aligner count.
- Ongoing support: Includes progress checks and adjustments to keep your smile on schedule.
