Lynn, United States - October 20, 2023 / New England Orthodontic Specialists - Lynn, MA (Feldman Orthodontics) /

If you are considering Invisalign in Lynn, MA, a more beautiful smile is just one of the benefits! You can enjoy better oral health when you have straight teeth. This comes from achieving a proper bite, an orthodontic term for how your teeth fit together.

Proper biting means better oral health and a lower risk of cavities, gum disease, and other complications. It can also help improve your ability to chew and speak if your current tooth positioning makes either difficult. While Invisalign doesn't correct severe misalignments (malocclusions), it can work wonders for patients with mild to moderate crookedness, gaps, or spacing issues.

What Makes a Healthy Bite?

The ideal bite sees the front teeth resting just in front of the lower teeth; they are straight and parallel to one another without the upper or lower jaw being shifted too forward, back, or to either side. It's highly common for people to have a slightly off-balance bite; in some cases, this may cause no trouble. But for other patients, even mild tooth misalignment can lead to more oral health issues. A healthy bite has several benefits, including:

• Better Chewing: When your teeth are aligned properly, you can bite, chew, and digest food more easily.

• Enhanced Speech: For some people, an improper bite causes speech impediments, like a lisp. Invisalign could help resolve this.

• Reduced Jaw Pain: Misalignment can lead to TMD or temporomandibular joint disorder. Straightening your teeth can reduce, if not eliminate, the symptoms.

• Improved Comfort: With a proper bite, less force and tension are exerted on the jawbone and muscles, leading to greater comfort.

How Invisalign Works

You've likely seen plenty of regular braces, which straighten teeth by applying steady, gentle pressure to the teeth and the jawbone. This is similar to Invisalign; like brackets and wire, the invisible trays use pressure to move your teeth and jaw into proper alignment.

The greatest difference between Invisalign and braces is the appearance. Invisalign uses clear trays made from a special type of plastic; braces use metal or ceramic to achieve their results. For patients, the aesthetic appeal of Invisalign makes it a natural choice. There are some other benefits to Invisalign, too, such as:

• Removeable: You take your trays to eat, brush, and floss. No food restrictions!

• Faster Treatment: Most patients at our practice wear Invisalign for six to 15 months compared to 12-18 months for braces.

• More Comfortable: The trays are smooth and comfortable and will not rub against your cheeks or irritate your gums.

• No Adjustments: You only need to come in for short check-ins and new trays. Braces need to be routinely tightened every four to six weeks.

• Easier to Clean: You can follow your usual dental hygiene routine with Invisalign, a huge advantage over braces.

• Lower Risk of Complications: There are no side effects to Invisalign; braces, however, can pose issues with mouth irritation and oral infection, especially if they are not kept clean.
