Treatable Causes

Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment option that can help address a range of dental issues. Here are some of the treatable causes of Invisalign treatment:

Crowding:

Crowding occurs when there isn't enough space in the jaw for all of the teeth to fit properly. This can lead to overlapping or twisted teeth, which can be difficult to clean and can increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Invisalign can help straighten crowded teeth, creating more space and improving oral hygiene.

Gaps:

Gaps between teeth can occur as a result of genetics, thumb-sucking habits, or injury. These gaps can cause self-consciousness and make it difficult to eat certain foods. Invisalign can help close these gaps, improving the appearance and function of the teeth.

Overbite:

An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth overlap significantly with the lower front teeth. This can cause difficulty biting or chewing and can increase the risk of tooth wear or injury. Invisalign can help move the upper teeth back and the lower teeth forward, reducing the severity of the overbite.

Underbite:

An underbite occurs when the lower teeth protrude past the upper teeth. This can cause difficulty biting or chewing and can lead to jaw pain or discomfort. Invisalign can help move the lower teeth back and the upper teeth forward, reducing the severity of the underbite.

Crossbite:

A crossbite occurs when the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth when biting down. This can cause uneven wear on the teeth and can increase the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. Invisalign can help correct the alignment of the teeth, reducing the severity of the crossbite.

Open Bite:

An open bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth do not touch when biting down. This can cause difficulty biting or chewing and can lead to speech problems. Invisalign can help move the teeth into proper alignment, closing the open bite and improving function.
