Many people live with front tooth gaps and have no problems smiling freely. Others find this condition (aka diastema) unsightly and unappealing. If a front tooth gap or uneven spaces between your teeth are keeping your smile under wraps, consider Invisalign treatment. You’ll find the Invisalign dental teeth straightening process to be effective and convenient in meeting your orthodontic needs. Our team at Smile Today Dental is your go-to dental team for Invisalign in the Glenview, Illinois, area. Here’s how Invisalign can help with gapped teeth.
Tooth gaps can occur in both adults and children. Some children outgrow the gaps, while others retain them into adulthood. Whether your gaps are caused by genetics, undersized teeth, or poor oral habits like thumb sucking, we can make them disappear with Invisalign. Invisalign uses clear aligner trays to correct spacing problems with your teeth. The aligners are custom-made to conform to the shape of your mouth and teeth. When worn, Invisalign teeth aligners slowly and methodically move your teeth closer together to eliminate front tooth gaps and other spacing issues.
We can create an Invisalign treatment plan to address all your orthodontic issues within the same procedure. Correcting minor tooth gaps may take as little as six months, but if other orthodontic issues are included in your plan, your treatment may take 12 to 18 months to complete.
The following perks make Invisalign the perfect orthodontic treatment for you:
In addition to spacing problems, Invisalign teeth aligners can be used to straighten crooked teeth, correct bite problems, and fix issues with twisted or overlapping teeth caused by overcrowding. Invisalign is all about making dream smiles come true.
With Invisalign, you don’t have to worry about metal wires or brackets pricking your gums, cheeks, or teeth, as the aligners are crafted with smooth, clear plastic with no jagged edges. Invisalign teeth aligners are easy to use and care for and pose no risk to your gums or teeth.
When worn as directed – 20 to 22 hours daily – Invisalign teeth aligners can produce amazing results in perfecting your smile. You can look forward to a beautiful, perfectly aligned, symmetrical, and even smile. By addressing spacing and other orthodontic issues, Invisalign can improve the health and function of your teeth and your smile’s aesthetics.
Unlike metal braces that stand out every time you smile, Invisalign aligners are discreet. The clear, plastic aligners blend in with your teeth, making them less noticeable when you talk or smile. You can go through your entire treatment without feeling awkward about your appearance.
Invisalign offers the convenience of removing the aligners for meals and brushing your teeth. You can eat comfortably and maintain a healthier mouth throughout your treatment.
