Teeth that aren’t aligned properly can be prone to several different types of problems, and can have multiple consequences on different areas of your oral health. However, for many patients, the main motivating factors in seeking treatment to correct their crooked teeth are often similar, and include improving their smiles’ appearance and how their bites feel when they close them. Today, we explain how Invisalign® straightens crooked teeth in a way that address these concerns while keeping the treatment process more discreet and convenient that patients might expect.
Orthodontic treatment, or the practice of diagnosing and correcting the alignment of crooked teeth, has long been an important part of general dental care. The impacts of misaligned teeth can vary, but when left untreated, the misalignment can cause a wide range of problems for your bite function. For example, your bite may be imbalanced because all of your upper teeth don’t meet all of your lower teeth evenly when you bite down. As a result, some of your teeth may be forced to withstand excessive amounts of pressure, which can force them further out of alignment or cause them to become worn or damaged.
The goal of orthodontic treatment is to straighten crooked teeth before their misalignment leads to further problems with their health and integrity. Traditionally, this includes utilizing carefully placed brackets on crooked teeth and utilizing an arch wire to gently force them into straighter positions. With Invisalign®, clear aligners are utilized to achieve the same gentle force, but without the need for brackets or wires to achieve it. Instead, the aligners are digitally designed to gradually move crooked teeth toward their straighter positions as you change them throughout your treatment.
The ability to straighten crooked teeth and improve your bite’s overall function without the need for orthodontic braces can make Invisalign® preferable for a number of reasons. For patients who are concerned how traditional metal braces may impact their smiles’ appearance, the most notable advantage may be the nearly invisible appearance of the aligners. Made from clear acrylic, the aligners are nearly undetectable when placed over your teeth, making them significantly more discreet. You can also temporarily remove your clear aligners for a few moments each day, such as when you brush and floss your teeth or eat and drink something, for optimal convenience.
Invisalign® takes a different approach to straightening crooked teeth that allows us to improve your oral health in a more discreet and comfortable manner.

For many people who have crooked teeth, the condition can be visibly obvious every time they smile. Because of this, they may expect that correcting the problem also has to be highly obvious, especially if they expect to need metal braces to address it. However, many people can benefit from straightening crooked teeth with more discreet Invisalign® clear aligners, which can correct several different types of malocclusion (tooth misalignment) in a more comfortable and convenient manner than you might expect.
The discreet nature of clear aligners is one of the more notable aspects of orthodontic treatment with Invisalign®. Unlike traditional metal braces, which are designed to utilize brackets and wires to gently straighten teeth, clear aligners are made from virtually invisible, BPA-free acrylic. They’re also designed to conform precisely to the size and shape of your teeth, which makes them almost completely undetectable when placed over them. Because of this, Invisalign® can allow you to straighten crooked teeth in a highly discreet manner.
For some severe cases of malocclusion, traditional orthodontic braces may still be required to correct tooth alignment. However, the precise, digital design method used to create Invisalign® allows them to effectively correct malocclusion of various types. This can sometimes include seemingly extensive tooth misalignment, or cases of relapse (teeth becoming crooked again after previous orthodontic treatment). Their versatility makes Invisalign® clear aligners an ideal for solution for increasingly more patients who want a discreet and comfortable solution for straightening their crooked teeth.
The appearance of your clear aligners can be a significant advantage to Invisalign®, and their ability to address several types of malocclusion means there’s a good chance you’re a candidate for them. Yet, one of their more beneficial aspects is the fact that you can temporarily remove your aligners each day throughout the course of your treatment. When you need to brush and floss your teeth, or it’s time to eat your favorite meals, you can remove your aligners to avoid damaging them or getting food stuck in hard-to-reach places. By making it easier to keep your teeth clean each day, Invisalign® can help you take better care of your oral health and reduce your risks of developing concerns like tooth decay or gum disease.
With Invisalign® clear aligners, you can improve several aspects of your orthodontic treatment.

People who have crooked teeth to straighten often have more to deal with than just the obvious problem. For example, the most obvious concern might be their smile’s appearance, yet with traditional orthodontic braces, they might not feel confident that concern is properly addressed. The many different consequences of crooked teeth make it especially important to address the problem as soon as possible, which is a big reason why can offer more discreet orthodontic treatment with the help of Invisalign® clear aligners.
Invisalign® clear aligners boast several advantages over traditional orthodontic braces, but their nearly invisible construction is one of the more immediately obvious ones. Many older teen and adult patients hesitate or procrastinate to correct crooked teeth out of fear of potential embarrassment. However, with Invisalign®, that’s no longer a concern, as the clear aligners are designed to remain virtually invisible and allow your natural teeth to show through them. With greater confidence that their treatment will remain discreet, more patients can be encouraged to straighten their crooked teeth as soon as possible.
Clear aligners are crafted from clear acrylic and are designed to fit over your upper and lower teeth comfortably. Because they aren’t bonded to your teeth or consist of metal brackets and wires, Invisalign® aligners can provide a much higher level of comfort throughout the course of your treatment. This comfort not only includes the feel of your aligners compared to the feel of metal braces, but also the implications of wearing clear aligners that can be temporarily removed at certain points throughout the day to minimize your treatment’s impact on your daily life.
The appearance of metal braces is only one concern that patients may have about traditional orthodontic treatment. Another may be the concern about how their treatment will impact their daily lives, what they’ll have to chance to accommodate it, and how long they’ll have to endure the change. Invisalign® aligners can significantly streamline the process of straightening crooked teeth to make it more convenient. For example, you can remove the aligners to brush and floss your teeth so you won’t need specialized dental hygiene tools to do so.
Their more discreet appearance is important, but there are many other significant benefits that Invisalign® aligners can provide.

The quality of your dental treatment can be measured by a variety of factors. For example, the results of the treatment are of utmost important, as the goal is to successfully restore your smile and good oral health. However, the extent to which your treatment affects your daily life can also be an important factor, which is why some patients may hesitate to straighten their crooked teeth with traditional metal braces. Fortunately, many patients can find an even more discreet solution to straightening crooked teeth with the help of custom-designed Invisalign® clear aligners.
Invisalign® orthodontic treatment is designed to utilize a series of clear, highly discreet aligners that can comfortably and efficiently straighten crooked teeth. The aligners accomplish this by following similar principles of orthodontic treatment, meaning they gradually and gently guide crooked teeth into straighter positions. The difference is that the process relies on the unique, highly precise design of the aligners, rather than the force generated by arch wires and brackets. This helps ensure that you can keep your entire orthodontic more discreet and enjoy the benefits of a straighter and healthier smile.
The ability to keep your orthodontic treatment discreet can be an important benefit of Invisalign® clear aligners, but for the quality of your treatment, one of the more important benefits include the way in which clear aligners simplify your daily life. For example, without having to accommodate brackets and wires, your clear aligners allow you to brush and floss your teeth without interdental cleaners, and eat the foods you enjoy most without worrying about damaging your orthodontic appliances. Instead, you can simply remove the aligners for a short period of time, then replace them once you’ve finished.
The customized and highly precise design of your clear aligners does more than just simplify your orthodontic treatment. It also helps ensure that your treatment is a success, and that you can enjoy the benefits of a straighter smile in a more convenient manner. Making orthodontic treatment more convenient and discreet can encourage more patients to undergo necessary treatment faster, and avoid some of the more serious consequences of untreated tooth misalignment.

Straightening crooked teeth is a delicate process. For your treatment to be successful, your orthodontic braces or aligners need to gradually but gently reposition your crooked teeth to improve their alignment in a way that optimizes your bite function. For this reason, we can often help ensure accurate and precise results for your treatment by designing your Invisalign® clear aligners with the help of advanced iTero® 3D digital imaging technology.
Invisalign® clear aligners are designed to streamline your orthodontic treatment and eliminate the need for traditional braces by utilizing a series of clear, nearly invisible aligners. This helps keep your orthodontic treatment more discreet and more comfortable overall, and can eliminate many of the concerns that come with having brackets and wires bonded to your teeth. The goal of Invisalign® treatment is for each aligner to guide your crooked teeth toward their straighter, proper positions. Each aligner progresses this movement to a certain degree, and the successive aligners continue this movement until your teeth and smile are straight.
For clear aligners to accomplish their purpose of straightening crooked teeth, each aligner has to follow a certain phase of a carefully planned path of movement for your teeth. This takes highly precise planning and design, which we accomplish with the use of iTero’s 3D digital imaging technology. The advanced imaging and design technology allow us to digitally measure your teeth and dental ridge, as well as map your dentition and the extent of your tooth misalignment. The software then allows us to plan the most precise and efficient path of movement to correct this misalignment, using the results to design each successive aligner in your treatment.
The benefits of clear aligners are significant when it comes to streamlining your orthodontic treatment experience. Because they’re designed to remain virtually invisible when placed over your teeth, your treatment will remain discreet and nearly unnoticeable to everyone else. The more precise design techniques allowed by iTero® technology also help improve the results of your treatment, and can make Invisalign® a viable option for more patients who require orthodontic correction.
In addition to the benefits that clear aligners naturally provide, designing your Invisalign® treatment with advanced iTero® digital imaging technology can make your treatment more convenient and precise.
