Healthy teeth and gums with Invisalign

Straightening your teeth is an excellent method of improving your smile and improving your dental health at the same time. If you avoid orthodontic treatment when needed then you are more likely to face dental health complications in your life. This is why orthodontic treatment is recommended in young children and teenagers so that they can enjoy healthy teeth and gums for the future. By straightening your teeth you can increase their longevity, preventing early tooth loss and the many complications that tooth loss can have.

Tooth decay and gum disease

Patients with crooked and wonky teeth are more likely to develop tooth decay and gum disease. This is because your teeth are more difficult to clean. Your brush cannot reach all parts of your tooth and floss cannot clean in between the teeth, which means bacteria and plaque build up in your mouth. Plaque is home to millions of bacteria. Some of these are harmful bacteria that release acids and toxins that damage your teeth and gums. By straightening your teeth you will make it easier to keep them clean. Less plaque will be able to build up in your mouth, reducing the chance of developing tooth decay and gum disease.

Invisalign extending dental health

You need to speak to us at Clear Braces Direct and find out about Invisalign London for straightening your teeth. With Invisalign London you can correct the alignment of crooked, wonky teeth, overlapping teeth and overcrowded teeth. By creating a neatly aligned smile you will be able to brush more effectively, floss between your teeth and keep your teeth clean, healthy and looking beautiful. Your gums will also be healthy and strong and there will be much less chance of developing tooth decay and gum disease. There are different treatment plans with Invisalign London depending on how crooked or wonky your teeth are. It is important to remember however, that if you are already suffering from tooth decay or gum disease then this will need to be treated before you can begin Invisalign. This is because tooth decay and gum disease can weaken your teeth and the roots of your teeth. If you try to straighten your teeth then this can cause permanent damage. By visiting our dentist you can address these issues. Once you are ready we will be able to put together a treatment plan for you. Invisalign can straighten your teeth in an average of 12 to 18 months if you have complex orthodontic issues. If you have simple aesthetic issues affecting the appearance of your teeth then this can be treated in as little as 4 to 6 months with our Express and Lite treatment plans.

Invisalign can be used in patients of all ages. It can be used in young teenagers as well. As mentioned, the earlier you address your orthodontic issues the fewer complications you will face. Not only can you prevent dental health complications, but at the same time you will be improving the appearance of your smile which will help boost your confidence and wellbeing too.
