\"Patient<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

To date, more than 17 million patients have chosen to straighten their teeth with Invisalign<\/a>. With an impressive 96% satisfaction rate, it\u2019s safe to say that clear aligners deliver incredible results too! If you\u2019re considering this innovative orthodontic treatment, but you\u2019re still on the fence about whether or not it\u2019s worth it, read on for five benefits of Invisalign that have nothing to do with appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Improved Oral Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Crooked and spaced-out teeth don\u2019t just take a toll on your self-esteem; they take a toll on your oral health. That\u2019s because food particles, plaque, and other debris can easily get lodged in the crevices created from misalignment, increasing your risk of tooth decay and other common oral health problems in the process. Fortunately, Invisalign has proven to be effective at correcting mild to moderate cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Better Digestion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, if your teeth or bite aren\u2019t properly aligned, then there\u2019s a good chance that your food isn\u2019t being broken down properly. This, in turn, negatively affects the digestion process and the absorption of nutrients. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to explore your orthodontic treatment options sooner rather than later. Invisalign can move your teeth into proper alignment, benefiting your oral and overall health in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Less Jaw Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many orthodontic problems \u2013 from mild crossbites to more considerable overbites \u2013 can lead to TMJ dysfunction. Fortunately, Invisalign is often a solution! If you\u2019re a candidate, then your orthodontic treatment won\u2019t involve any metal at all. By the end, you\u2019ll have a smile you love and won\u2019t deal with consistent discomfort or soreness stemming from your jaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Efficient Dental Cleanings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your teeth aren\u2019t aligned properly, then your dental hygienist will need to spend extra time removing plaque and tartar from the crevices between them. Conversely, if your teeth are perfectly aligned, then cleaning your teeth will be considerably quicker. So, don\u2019t be surprised if you\u2019re in and out of the treatment chair in 30 minutes or less!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Clearer Speech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In short, your ability to enunciate is greatly affected by the position of your teeth. For example, if you have a considerable space between your two front teeth, you may hear a slight whistle sound when you talk or have trouble saying certain words. Don\u2019t worry \u2013 Invisalign can help! The clear aligners can bring your teeth closer together and, in the process, improve your speaking patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
