Invisalign and your oral health, from Dr. Danny Weiss

OK, so we've blogged about Invisalign in the past, but today thought we'd share the health benefits of this remarkable treatment that we offer at Weiss Orthodontics. Besides straightening your teeth, did you know that Invisalign can improve your oral health? Here are three ways Invisalign can help improve your health, all while shaping your beautiful smile:

Healthy gums: Straight teeth allow a close fit for gums. This lessens the gum stress that is caused by crowded or widely spaced teeth, thus also reducing red and swollen gums.

Easy cleaning: Invisalign is removable, therefore brushing and flossing is easier and you are able to maintain a healthy mouth. These habits are vital to avoiding tooth decay, plaque, and gum disease.

Improved speech and chewing:
Properly-aligned teeth don’t have the discomfort or compound speech impediments that can be caused by crowded teeth or a deteriorating jawbone.

If you have any questions about Invisalign, just ask Dr. Danny Weiss the next time you’re in for an appointment. Or, you may post your question on our Facebook page!

We hope you're all having a great summer!
