Invisalign is a popular and effective alternative to metal braces for many teens and adults seeking to straighten their teeth for a seamless smile. But a properly aligned smile has health benefits as well as aesthetic benefits.
The Pittsburgh dentists and Invisalign providers at Dentonics can help you determine if Invisalign is the best treatment choice for your unique needs. Although Invisalign can correct a broad range of teeth spacing problems and bite conditions, it is not the right choice for every patient.
When not treated, some bite conditions—also known as malocclusions—can lead to premature wear of your teeth, as well as contribute to the development of periodontal disease and conditions such as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ or TMD). A well-aligned bite provides you with optimal bite function and allows you to eat and speak effectively.
Although bite correction is generally recommended in one’s teenage years, after all primary teeth have been replaced by permanent teeth and the mouth has fully developed, adults can also benefit from teeth straightening with Invisalign. Please see our Invisalign for Adults page for more information.
If you would like to learn whether you’re a candidate for Invisalign, please contact Dentonics to schedule your personal consultation with Dr. Joe Quartuccio or Dr. Charles Frye. Our dentists welcome patients from Allison Park and the greater Pittsburgh area.
