Health Benefits of Treatment with Invisalign

Health Benefits of Treatment

According to The Journal of the American Dental Association, two-thirds to three-fourths of adults have some degree of malocclusion (crooked teeth). Malocclusion presents many challenges to good oral hygiene. The simple fact is straight teeth are healthier teeth, and more and more Americans are choosing aesthetic, low profile treatment solutions to get straighter teeth and correct their “bite.”

One of the most popular of these aesthetic treatment options is Invisalign , a method of straightening teeth using a series of clear, almost invisible, removable Aligners. Invisalign combines the doctor’s clinical treatment plan with proprietary 3-D, computer-generated software to make these sets of unique, custom-made Aligners that move teeth in very precise increments.

While a beautiful, healthy smile is the most obvious benefit of orthodontic treatment, orthodontic health can also have a positive impact on overall physical health and self-esteem.

It would be our pleasure to further discuss the health benefits associated with orthodontic treatment, and how options like Invisalign help promote healthy teeth during and after treatment. Please feel free to call Ari Dubov DDS with any questions or for more information.

Teenagers today have more options than ever before, from traditional metal braces and colored bands to less noticeable clear and ceramic brackets – or the truly high-tech, removable option Invisalign.

More Adults Seeking Treatment

Americans are focusing more and more attention on improving their smiles through orthodontics. Why? A recent survey of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry found that 92 percent of adults surveyed cited an attractive smile as a social asset – but only 50 percent of those adults were satisfied with their own smile. But until recent years, the number of adults willing to undergo treatment was low. Few adults want to endure the “metal mouth” look.
