Crooked or misaligned teeth can make it much more difficult to maintain good oral hygiene, resulting in dental problems that can affect your overall health. Luckily, it's much easier and quicker to straighten your teeth now than it ever has been before. A dentist in Belmont can offer you Invisalign, allowing you to fix your teeth and improve your oral health using near-invisible dental aligners. If your teeth are crooked or over-crowded, they are more likely to get food trapped in between them. They are also more difficult to clean and floss effectively, which means that plaque and tartar can begin to build up. This plaque and tartar harbor harmful bacteria that can cause tooth decay, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. When left untreated, these problems can lead to tooth loss, or infections that can spread throughout your body. Straightening your teeth with Invisalign aligners can help you regain control of your oral hygiene. Your aligners will be clear and virtually invisible, which means no one will even notice that you're wearing them. They can also be removed to allow you to eat, brush, and floss like normal.
