Although many patients want to treat misaligned teeth due to cosmetic reasons, misaligned teeth can also affect your overall oral health. When the teeth are misaligned, it may be more difficult for patients to properly clean all surfaces of the teeth. Misaligned teeth may also contribute to complex dental issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and TMJ. Finding a proper solution to treat crooked teeth can save patients time, money, and discomfort in the future.
Invisalign may be an ideal solution for patients with:
Invisalign is the excellent way for patients to realign their teeth over a period of time. Patients of all ages can benefit from using Invisalign. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign is a clear, removable solution for patients with crooked teeth. Aligners are worn throughout the day and may be removed to eat and during brushing and flossing.
Dr. Lotardo creates custom-made aligners using unique CAD/CAM software for advanced treatment planning and consistent results. Once your custom made aligners are created, Dr. Lotardo will go over the correct way to wear and take care of your new aligners.
