Crowded teeth can complicate oral hygiene, leading to tooth decay and discomfort. At Woodcroft Dental in Midhurst, we use Invisalign’s clear aligners to effectively straighten your teeth without the need for metal braces.
An overbite is when the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth, leading to uneven wear, jaw pain, and potential tooth damage. Invisalign gently aligns your teeth and jaw, effectively reducing the overbite.
Gapped teeth, can occur due to a variety of factors such as genetics, mismatched jaw-tooth size, habits like thumb-sucking, or tissue overgrowth between the teeth.
Gaps between teeth can lead to food getting stuck in the spaces, making it harder to maintain oral hygiene. This can increase the risk of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Gaps can also affect bite alignment and the appearance of your smile.
Yes, Invisalign is an effective solution for closing gaps between teeth. The clear aligners gradually move your teeth into the correct position over time, helping close the gaps and creating a more even, aligned smile.
Invisalign aligners are generally more comfortable than traditional braces because they are smooth, removable, and don't involve metal brackets or wires. You may experience mild pressure as your teeth shift, but it's usually less noticeable compared to braces.
Invisalign is effective for most mild to moderate cases of gapped teeth. However, your dentist at Woodcroft Dental will assess your teeth and gums to determine if Invisalign is the right option for your specific needs.
The first part of your Invisalign treatment involves a consultation. During this visit, we will assess your teeth and overall oral health and answer any questions and concerns. We’ll then take digital impressions and photos to create a custom treatment plan tailored to your needs.
We create digital images based on each stage of your treatment. We then custom-make your aligners to fit your teeth throughout the process. The aligners will gradually shift your teeth to close the gaps over time.
We offer retainers to our Invisalign patients, which help preserve the new position of the teeth. We’ll also support you during and after your teeth-straightening treatment.
