BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN
Invisalign: What Problems Can It Fix?
In Northfield, an Invisalign orthodontist can be used to straighten misaligned upper and lower teeth. Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain, which leads to healthier gums and teeth.
Align Technology, Inc. is the inventor of Invisalign – custom-made, clear aligners that are worn over the teeth. They work by putting gentle pressure on specific teeth to gradually straighten the teeth.
Fix Orthodontic Problems Such As:
Spacing issues
When teeth are too far apart, Invisalign clear aligners can fix gaps in teeth when worn as directed.
Overcrowding
Invisalign can also treat overly crowded teeth whether they are in the front or back of the mouth. Overcrowding means the teeth are touching or overlapping one another when they shouldn’t be. Invisalign can work for both upper and lower teeth.
Underbites
If you have an underbite, your lower teeth are in front of your upper teeth when you close your mouth. Invisalign clear aligners can aid in fixing underbites.
Crossbites
A crossbite occurs when either a front tooth is in front or behind the teeth in the opposite jaw when it shouldn’t be. It can also be when the back teeth, molars, are biting on the wrong edge of the opposing molars. This can lead to serious dental problems, but Invisalign can fix most crossbites.
Crooked teeth
Your upper front teeth or lower teeth may not be straight, meaning they don’t form a neat line when you smile. With Invisalign, you can straighten your teeth without the discomfort of traditional braces. For those who have extremely crowded or crooked teeth – Invisalign is perfect! With Invisalign braces you will have proper alignment.

Benefits of Invisalign Braces vs Traditional Braces
Maybe you don’t like your upper front teeth, or have some other problem with your bite or smile. Many patients near Northfield feel that traditional braces made of metal brackets with rubber bands are unattractive and restrictive to their lifestyle.
Clear braces help with appearance but are still affect your lifestyle. Braces can make playing sports painful and playing musical instruments difficult. There are also food restrictions to consider when you have clear braces.
That’s why clear aligners are great. With Invisalign, aligners are removable for important events, enable you to eat whatever you want, and are clear for an amazing smile even while straightening teeth. From day one, Invisalign braces are ideal for any Northfield kid, teen or adult.
How Long Does Invisalign Take?
Anyone near Northfield interested in straightening their teeth without the hassle of metal braces might wonder, “How long does Invisalign take?” The average length of time for an Invisalign treatment is 9 to 15 months.
Before moving on to the next stage of the Invisalign, patients must first wear each set of aligners for at least two weeks before progressing. Some people can complete their Invisalign process in nine months or less, while others have to wear the aligners for longer periods of time. Treatment time all depends on a person’s specific dental needs and how well a patient follows the treatment directions.
In order to wear your Invisalign aligners comfortably, you must change the clear aligners regularly. Many orthodontists and dentists recommend wearing each set of aligners for two to three weeks before moving on to the next set.
Who Can Benefit from Invisalign Aligners?
In short, any child, teenager, adult or senior near Northfield IL that wants to improve their smile can definitely benefit from Invisalign clear aligners.
Did you know that 25% of all orthodontic treatment is done by adults and seniors to improve their smile? But most people start in their teens. In fact, Invisalign Teen is a program just for teenagers. Align Technology, Inc has developed Invisalign Teen to meet the variety of situations common to teens for optimal results.
“95% of adults say they value keeping their mouth healthy, and 93% of adults say that regular visits to the dentist “help keep me healthy.” – ADA Health Policy Institute
