Health Benefits of Straightening Teeth

Being confident in your smile is key, but so is having healthy teeth. Maybe you’ve been taking a look in the mirror and wondering how you can close some spaces in-between teeth or maybe you can barley floss due to how crowded they’ve become over the years.  Whether it’s the appearance of your teeth or even the function, Invisalign in Manchester is here for you.

Here at CT Family Dentistry we offer Invisalign and we encourage this treatment for a more confident smile, as well as your overall health benefits.

How does Invisalign help overall health and not just make for a better smile?

invisalign in manchester ctInvisalign in Manchester helps with healthier teeth and gums. When teeth are too crowded or spaced too far apart, gums can become red or swollen. These are also signs of periodontal disease. When teeth are straightened, properly spaced and aligned this can help the gums fit correctly and more securely around teeth helping prevent future periodontal issues. With Invisalign, the clear aligners will gradually move your teeth into correct position to ensure your gums and teeth have a healthy future.

Not only does Invisalign help with the gums, it helps with proper cleaning of your teeth. With traditional braces or even moderate to severe crowding of teeth, plaque is more likely to build up and cause other problems. After Invisalign straightens the teeth into proper alignment, cleaning and flossing will be much easier!

Lastly, Invisalign will help you with your overall health. Believe it or not, healthy teeth lead to a healthier body. If you’re taking good care of your gums and teeth you’re most likely taking great care of your body as well. Bacteria causes tooth decay and gum disease and when untreated can lead to bigger problems. These problems include mouth sores, tender or bleeding gums, bad breath and tooth loss. Tooth bacteria can also lead to overall health problems such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. With the use of Invisalign aligners a lot of these issues and risks can be reduced by making oral hygiene easier.

Invisalign makes for that perfect smile you’ve always been looking for! Correctly aligned teeth will make for a confident smile and potentially help with jaw issues, wearing away of teeth and how you bite. But not only that, your overall health is important to us too and that’s why we recommend Invisalign for so many different reasons.
