Your smile can be restored to its most attractive state with Invisalign from your dentist near Greer, SC

You do not have to live a posh, high-profile life to deserve a beautiful, healthy smile. Each one of us should be able to freely show our smile, feeling fully confident that our teeth are in an attractive condition. Teeth that are gapped, crowded, or turned can have a negative impact on the smile, leading to embarrassment and the avoidance of smiling. Misalignment is not only cosmetically detrimental, though. Teeth that are misaligned can increase the risk of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath due to the presence of excessive bacteria that can easily hide. Until recently, improvement to the smile came from lengthy treatment with metallic bracket-and-wire braces. Today, we use Invisalign as an ideal teeth straightening treatment for our guests from Greer and other SC cities.

What is interesting about the aligner teeth straightening method is that early forms date back to the 1940s. Throughout several decades of research and technological advances, successful real-life treatment began to look like a real possibility. Into the 1970s, aligners continued to improve, but not to a point where this method could rival the conventional method of straightening teeth, bracket-and-wire braces. Today, discerning consumers finally have what they have long desired – an orthodontic treatment that is comfortable and discreet. Invisalign is tailored to guest particulars using computer technology and innovative materials, creating the ideal system for smile improvement.

In its early years, Invisalign was viewed as a cosmetic treatment, straightening visible teeth but nothing more. In fact, this aligner teeth straightening program can correct issues including:

• Crossbite. This dental condition occurs when the upper and lower jaws do not meet as they should, causing a few upper teeth to rest inside of lower teeth when biting down. The teeth that are normally affected by crossbite are situated at the front sides of the mouth.
• Overbite, which causes the upper front teeth to rest far in front of front lower teeth.
• Underbite, in which front lower teeth rest outside of front top teeth.
• Overcrowding.
• Too much space between teeth.

Invisalign is also a premier treatment used by those who have undergone conventional orthodontic teeth straightening previously, but have experienced a relapse in misalignment over time.

Invisalign has been proven extremely viable as a standard of care. This form of orthodontic treatment is appealing to dentists, and to guests of all ages, due to its various benefits. As straight teeth promote oral health, which in turn promotes whole-body health, we find Invisalign ideal for many of our guests.
