My decision to start Invisalign

​At a quick glance, my teeth might appear straight…but once you take a closer look you can see crowding on my upper teeth.  I’ve started to become more self-conscious of my teeth over the years as the crowding has become very noticeable. Occasionally food would get stuck between my crooked teeth (we all know how embarrassing that is!), and we know that can lead to cavities and gum disease. I decided I want everything straightened out! Dentists need dental work too sometimes.

I finally decided to get Invisalign (clear braces), thanks to my bro Dr. Mat. Here are my reasons for starting Invisalign:

1. Hygiene: Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss, that means less gum bleeding and less cavities
2. Balanced bite: I used to think only back teeth are used for chewing, but this can result in wearing out your teeth prematurely
3. Speech: Straightening your teeth can sometimes resolve speech impediments, like lisps
4. Esthetics: Looks aren’t everything, but who won't love seeing your pearly whites?

 I can’t wait to share the final results!

Invisalign is a great alternative to traditional wires and brackets, and may be a treatment option if you want to achieve that perfect smile.
