Your Alignment Can Hold Your Oral Health Back At Any Age

Did you know that in areas where your teeth crowd or overlap, it can create some real oral health issues? In these spots, plaque and tartar can accumulate, leading to tooth decay and periodontal disease. Even if you are dedicated in your approach to brushing and flossing, you could be fighting a losing battle; your toothbrush needs to be able to fit in order to clean effectively. When your teeth prevent that, you’re at risk of bacterial buildup.

So, it’s important to stick to your schedule of cleanings and examinations to find out. Your dentist can tell you tips and tricks to avoid plaque and tartar accumulation, and they can also let you know if your alignment is holding you back. At any age, staying safe from bad biofilm is important, and it might be time to talk orthodontics.

Invisalign® Clear Aligner Therapy Provides A Pathway Forward

If you’ve been hesitating to talk to your provider about your smile because you would like to avoid the visibility of traditional braces, you are certainly not the only one. For many patients, the idea of living with brackets and wires for an extended period of time is enough to dissuade them. That’s why we’re proud to offer a different way forward.

Our office offers Invisalign® clear aligner therapy, which uses the same trusted orthodontic principles as braces, but in an innovative new way. With a slim set of clear aligners, you can start to work on straightening your smile. Simply pop them in and get to work!
