What are the advantages of invisible orthodontics?
- Many people are currently starting orthodontic treatment with the aim of aligning their teeth. Although it is true that orthodontics is traditionally associated with children and adolescents, it is becoming increasingly common for adults to undergo invisible orthodontic treatment.
- In addition to correcting certain aesthetic aspects that help you feel better about yourself, invisible orthodontics has multiple health benefits, both oral and dental, as well as for the body in general. In addition, dental problems are very important for adults and the elderly, as they have a great impact on quality of life, and certain aspects can lead to other health problems.
What are the advantages of invisible orthodontics?
For this reason, the team of professionals at Impress recalls some of the benefits of invisible orthodontics for adult patients:
Prevention of heart disease: much research shows that oral inflammation and infections from poor dental alignment have a direct link to the development of heart disease. Dr. Khaled Kasem, chief orthodontist at Impress, explains that poor oral hygiene leads to the accumulation of harmful bacteria in the mouth, which, in addition to causing gingivitis, if not removed can then be ingested, giving them the potential to lodge in the bloodstream and damage heart valves.
Solves phonetic problems: Teeth are one of the most influential factors in human speech, as they form a closed cavity that allows the emission of sounds necessary for speaking and communicating. If the teeth do not have a correct alignment they can affect speech, causing whistling or lisps.
Adaptation to the lifestyle of each adult: The transparent aligners are practically imperceptible thanks to their material, so they are not an impediment to any daily activity.
It is a comfortable treatment: aligners are hygienic, painless and removable. In addition, not only are they effective, but with the Impress digital invisible orthodontic system, the patient can see what their final smile will look like before they begin and will know exactly how long their personalized and individualized treatment will last. This is possible thanks to the 3D scan that is carried out at the first visit with no obligation.
Helps improve sleep quality: Having aligned teeth directly influences rest and restorative sleep, which is essential to be healthy. Bad habits or poor positioning of the teeth can cause a bad bite which, in turn, can lead to strong pressure on the teeth or bruxism, which occurs especially during sleep.
Finally, it is important to remember that visiting a dental specialist on a regular basis is very important to prevent oral diseases in time.
