Benefits Of Having Invisalign Treatment – More Than Just a Nice Smile

If your teeth are not as straight as they could be, it can affect the way you look, and it may make you a little self-conscious. However, having straight teeth is not all about aesthetics. You want to look your best, but there are heaps of benefits than just having a good looking smile.

Nutrition

When your teeth are in proper alignment, it benefits your general health such as improving your diet. If you have an overbite or crooked teeth, it might be difficult to bite or chew certain foods. Because of this, maybe you avoid certain foods you need in your diet for adequate nutrition. Perhaps you do eat a balanced and healthy diet, but you’re unable to completely chew food, which can lead to digestive problems.

Orthodontic treatment with Invisalign clear braces will help to resolve these functional issues, so you’ll be able to enjoy a healthy and balanced diet when your teeth are aligned.

Grinding of Teeth

If your teeth are misaligned, it can increase your risk of teeth grinding. Grinding is more than a bothersome habit. It can wear down tooth enamel, which makes your teeth weaker. When you grind your teeth, they might even become loose and eventually lose teeth that are otherwise healthy.

Jaw Aches

Jaw issues may also occur when your teeth are not properly aligned. Temporomandibular joint disorder is a common example that we treat in our practice. When the joint in your jaw is affected, it can cause physical symptoms. You might develop headaches, fatigue, and other symptoms that affect your everyday life.

Oral Care

Cleaning your teeth and general oral care is easier and more effective when your teeth are straight. You’ll be able to do a great job brushing and flossing each day as the brush and floss are able to reach all faces of the teeth. When it’s easier to keep your teeth clean, you’ll have better oral health with a lower risk of tooth decay.
