How Invisalign Changes Your Face?

The world of dentistry has witnessed a phenomenal rise in the popularity of Invisalign. It is an excellent method for teens and adults to correct their smiles and keep away from the tacky and prominent metal braces. Undoubtedly, Invisalign is a fantastic alternative ensuring dental symmetry and achieving that immaculate ‘Hollywood smile’. In addition to being unnoticeable, Invisalign is designed keeping in mind your comfort. It is placid on the teeth, and the results are outstanding, to say the least. Furthermore, there are restrictions to the type of food that can be consumed. So, we can safely assert that the Invisalign has, indeed, received well-deserved clout.

Invisalign and Changes in Face Shape

Opting for Invisalign entails a 1-2 year contract wherein you will have to go through numerous aligners over the duration, and each aligner will be shaped differently than the previous one. The process, thus, gradually pushes the teeth into their correct position.

It is noteworthy to highlight that using Invisalign can positively change the shape of the face. A human’s face shape is determined by the placement of their teeth and jaw and other ancillary factors like an overbite, protruding teeth, crossbite, and so forth. Furthermore, specific dental issues like a crossbite can potentially impact your chewing habits, deter coherent speaking, and so on. Nonetheless, Invisalign is designed to correct almost all the problems related to the teeth, ranging from crossbite to an underbite. Its usage can also push back protruding teeth and considerably improve the overall appearance of a person. Likewise, a crooked tooth influences the shape of the face and can be corrected by Invisalign. If your teeth are growing distortedly, it will assist in repositioning them so that they become straight. Invisalign also helps in eradicating crooked teeth gaps and preventing further dental issues. Similar to its name, Invisalign changes the shape of the face by aligning everything perfectly.

Dentists take the assistance of X-rays to understand and depict how the use of Invisalign will positively change your face shape. They will also show a before and after comparison to make you feel more confident in the treatment. After completing the Invisalign treatment, you will be able to see slight changes in your overall face shape and monumental changes in the form of your teeth. Problems like underbite, crossbite, etc., are entirely solved through this innovative marvel of dentistry. A set of perfectly straight teeth increases a person’s self-esteem and confidence and enhances their speaking ability. As such, Invisalign can be rightly deemed a boon for many people struggling with dental issues throughout their lives. 

The Significance of Proper Dental Habits 

We should reiterate that Invisalign is not an alternative to proper oral hygiene habits. The preventive steps of regular brushing, flossing, and using of mouthwash must be followed even after the erstwhile misaligned teeth are perfected. Furthermore, timely visits to the dentist are of utmost importance if you are serious about keeping your teeth and gums in good health.
