Potential Consequences of Crowded Teeth

While many people’s main concern with crowding is cosmetic, it also has multiple consequences for your oral health. Because it creates a lot of small, tight spaces around the teeth, it’s very easy for plaque and bacteria to accumulate. Even if you’re brushing and flossing regularly, it’s very difficult to access these areas and keep them clean, increasing your risk for:

  • Cavities
  • Gum disease
  • Bad breath
  • Staining and discoloration

How Invisalign Helps With Crowded Teeth

Up until about 20 years ago, the only way to straighten teeth was traditional braces. Now, Invisalign has completely changed orthodontic treatment and many people are choosing to correct their crowding issues with Invisalign.

How does it work? Just like any orthodontic option, Invisalign moves your teeth into their ideal positions by applying pressure to each tooth. The difference is that clear aligner trays are used instead of brackets and wires. Each set of trays is typically worn for two weeks, after which you’ll switch to the next set. Over time, gradual movements are made until your final results are achieved.

After you’ve had a consultation with Dr. Skupny to make sure Invisalign is right for you, we’ll take digital impressions by scanning your teeth. Then we’ll send the impressions to the Invisalign lab where your trays will be custom-made, and you’ll return several weeks later to pick up your first set of trays and begin treatment. The average treatment time for Invisalign is 12-18 months, throughout which you’ll return for progress visits every 4-8 weeks.
