Have you been thinking about getting orthodontic treatment to align your teeth properly? We’re sure you have a few options on your mind, such as conventional metal braces, ceramic braces, Invisalign, etc. Millions of Americans choose to get their teeth misalignment treated every year. This proves how important a perfectly aligned set of teeth is when it comes to sporting a confident smile.
The most common cause of malocclusion (misalignment of teeth) is heredity. If your parents had a malocclusion, chances run high that you will too. However, the severity of the misalignment could vary. Some of the lesser common causes are improper or disproportionate growth of the jawbone, external trauma to the teeth or jaws, missing teeth, faulty oral appliances, oral habits such as chewing pen caps, rubber bands, thumb sucking, etc.
Invisalign is the best and most aesthetically pleasing means of treating a malocclusion. Patients who wish to have uniformly aligned teeth but do not want to use dental braces are excellent candidates for Invisalign.
