Teeth tend to shift due to forces from our lips, cheek, tongue, as well as chewing.  As a result, teeth tend to become more and more crowded.  Crowded teeth are more difficult to keep clean and tend to have higher instances of gum disease.  They also tend to crack and wear faster because the chewing forces are not properly distributed.  Crowding leaves less room for the tongue and may cause an increased chance of snoring which tends to result in more clenching during sleep.  Clenching then also increases wear and cracks in teeth.  Teeth are also responsible for lip and cheek support and as they become more crowded, more wrinkles in our face tend to show.  As you can see, many problems arise from misaligned teeth, and prematurely age your smile.

Invisalign, a brand of clear aligners, are gaining a lot of popularity because of their ability to move teeth without having to go through braces.  A scan is taken of your current teeth position and is used to plan to move your teeth in a more ideal position incrementally with each aligner.  Treatment times and number of Invisalign aligners necessary vary depending on the amount of tooth movement necessary. Typically, it can range from as little as 2 months to 2 years depending on the tooth position.  Using our technology, we are able to show you your outcome, even before you begin.
