Invisalign achieves much more than just a pretty smile. Crowded and improperly placed teeth are more difficult to clean causing a build-up of calculus and plaque. This extra bacteria can lead to gingivitis, gum recession, bad breath, and periodontal disease. Misaligned teeth can also lead to premature tooth wear and bruxism. Invisalign ensures the teeth are in ideal alignment, resulting in stronger and healthier teeth.
