When people think of Invisalign, the first thing that usually comes to mind is straightening teeth. But did you know Invisalign does so much more? At Harris Dental, serving Phoenix and Gilbert, AZ, Dr. Brian Harris and Dr. Scott Harris specialize in using Invisalign not just to enhance smiles but also to address a range of dental concerns. Their expertise in creating personalized treatment plans makes them a trusted choice for patients of all ages.
Here’s a closer look at how Invisalign can help tackle common dental issues beyond straightening crooked teeth.
Fixing Bite Problems
Bite irregularities are more than just uncomfortable—they can affect your dental health, too. Misaligned bites, such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite, can lead to jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and uneven wear on teeth. Invisalign is designed to correct these issues by gradually shifting your teeth and jaws into proper alignment.
Overbites, for instance, occur when the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth too much. This can sometimes cause excessive wear or damage. Invisalign aligners gently guide the teeth to reduce this overlap without the hassle of bulky braces. Similarly, underbites and crossbites are corrected to create a more balanced bite, improving both function and aesthetics.
Addressing Gaps Between Teeth
Excessive spacing or gaps between teeth can make people self-conscious about their smiles, but did you know these gaps can also cause oral health problems? Food particles can easily become trapped in the spaces, increasing the risk of gum disease or cavities.
With Invisalign, Dr. Brian Harris and Dr. Scott Harris can close these gaps without the discomfort of traditional braces. Using a series of clear, custom-fit aligners, the gaps are gradually minimized, aligning your teeth in the process. This leads to a smile that not only looks great but is also healthier.
Solving Overcrowding
On the flip side of gaps is overcrowding, where teeth overlap or are pushed too close together because of insufficient space in your jaw. This issue can make proper brushing and flossing difficult, leading to plaque buildup and a higher chance of decay.
Fortunately, Invisalign is an excellent solution. Clear aligners are precision-crafted to gently create space and align teeth properly over time. With each new set of aligners, your teeth are nudged closer to an ideal position, all while being virtually invisible.
Why Invisalign Is Perfect for Any Age
Dr. Brian Harris and Dr. Scott Harris frequently recommend Invisalign not just for teens and young adults but for patients of all ages. Why? Because Invisalign is one of the most comfortable and convenient options available.
The aligners are made from smooth plastic, meaning there’s no risk of painful brackets or wires poking your cheeks. They’re also removable, so you can enjoy your favorite foods, maintain your oral hygiene routine, and feel confident during social interactions. For adults who don’t want the appearance of traditional braces disrupting their professional lives, Invisalign is a game-changer.
