It’s easy to see why Invisalign clear braces are popular with adult patients who want a straighter smile but don’t want or need metal braces. Straightening your teeth with Invisalign in San Jose, CA is convenient and comfortable, and the clear aligners are barely noticeable when they’re on your teeth.
But don’t let Invisalign’s convenience and ease of use fool you. While many adults choose clear aligners for cosmetic reasons, Invisalign is a powerful orthodontic treatment that corrects many of the same issues that bracket and wire braces do.
Tooth Misalignments Invisalign Corrects
Invisalign clear aligners correct all sorts of tooth misalignments:
- Crooked teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Overlapped teeth
- Gapped teeth
- Rotated teeth
Treatment times to fix these issues vary by patient, but average treatment times are about 12 to 15 months.
Invisalign Addresses Bite Problems
When you bite down, and your teeth don’t meet evenly, we call it a bite problem, or malocclusion. Invisalign clear braces in San Jose, CA addresses several malocclusions:
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
An uneven dental bite places extra force on certain teeth and can lead to broken and fractured teeth, teeth grinding, and jaw pain.
