Straight Talk about Crooked Teeth.

“WELL FITTING TEETH LAST LONGER AND ARE LESS LIKELY TO NEED COSTLY DENTISTRY IN THE FUTURE.”

Teeth that are not aligned properly in your mouth create what dentists call ‘malocclusion’. Did you know that Crooked or Misaligned teeth affect about more than 60 per cent of the India’s adult population? If left untreated, malocclusion can lead to gum diseases and create abnormal amount of stress on teeth and jaws which lead to premature wear and trauma. Teeth that are subjected to excessive pressure can develop chipping and notches at the gum line. Premature wear can also lead to poor root support, loose teeth and eventually tooth loss.

Over a period of time these stresses can cause fracture of teeth at the edges and thus reducing the height of the teeth. This, in turn, can eventually lead to reduction in the overall height of the face. These uneven forces can also cause pain in the jaws and even headaches.

When teeth are crowded, plaque with harmful bacteria can attach to the tooth surface down to the bottom of the pocket. It can be difficult to remove plaque from crowded areas because it is difficult to brush and floss here. Bacteria can cause gum tissue surrounding the tooth to degrade and result in bone loss if not treated in time or left untreated.

• Bacteria form a film underneath the gums particularly where teeth are misaligned.
• Bacteria inflame the gum tissue cells and can invade connective tissue and blood cells.
• Gums pockets are formed which further traps bacteria and debris.
• The combination of bacteria, toxins and white blood cells and acute-phase proteins damages the cells that line the coronary arteries, resulting in plaque and hence hardening of the arteries.
• The immune system creates white blood cells and proteins to fight the inflammation.

Correctly positioning your teeth for proper alignment and function will help prevent future dental problems and make a significant difference towards a healthy and hygienic mouth and preserving your teeth for life. Clear Aligners are a treatment modality as a substitute to braces can be used to correct the position of your teeth at all ages.

Despite of any type of Orthodontic appliance taken, Orthodontic treatment magically corrects the smile into a happy healthy smile.

Clear aligners move teeth in a controlled manner – both the amount of movement per aligner as well as the timing of the movement. So, at each stage, only certain teeth are allowed to move as shown in your personal Invisalign treatment plan. Invisalign aligners are made of strong medical grade, virtually invisible thermoplastic material developed for the Invisalign system with which custom-made trays are made for the patient. Overtime, the trays slowly shift your teeth in the direction prescribed by the orthodontist.

Although they are intended to deliver the same benefit as traditional braces, the look and feel of Aligners have a remarkable difference. With newer advanced technologies, they effectively straighten teeth predictably and more comfortably.

They can be used for different kinds of misalignments to help you achieve your desired smile, function and facial esthetics.

Remember, moving the teeth and jaw into desirable aesthetic and functional position is a highly specialized field requiring specialized training and certification.
