Invisalign Dentist
Straighten your teeth faster with one of Brisbane’s leading Platinum Invisalign Providers.
What is Invisalign?
From simple relapse cases to complex bite correction, invisalign is a fast, comfortable and flexible way to change your smile in a little as a few months. Here at Smile Studio Newstead we are a platinum invisalign provider which means we have worked through many adult cases over the years and are recognised by Invisalign as such.
What are the different alignment problems that Invisalign fixes?
Overbite
Due to an underdeveloped upper jaw, the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth causing a large gap between them. This makes certain parts of the jaw more susceptible to injury and causes enamel erosion.
Invisalign helps to close these gaps with a customised course and align the teeth as much as possible.
Underbite
Quite opposite to an overbite, an underbite occurs when the lower teeth overlap the upper teeth, usually caused by an overdeveloped lower jaw. This affects one’s ability to speak, chew and can cause enamel erosion as well.
These issues can be fixed and improve overall appearance with Invisalign depending on how pronounced the underbite is. A child with a developing jaw would be the perfect time to correct this issue.
Crossbite
A crossbite occurs when some lower teeth overlap the upper teeth, while a few upper teeth fall in front of the lower ones causing a receding gum line and other problems. A crossbit can get in the way of facial development and affect its structure as the jaw moves unevenly.
By moving the lower teeth towards the tongue and upper teeth towards the lips, Invisalign fixes this issue by creating spaces for the teeth to fit comfortably.
Gap Teeth
Gaps are typically caused due to extra jawbone growth or to fill gaps from missing teeth. Due to the spacing problem food can get stuck in the gaps leading to decay and infection of the gums and jaw.
Invisalign is an effective solution to tightening these gaps and properly aligning teeth. If the gaps are too far apart, another course of action may be taken.
Open Bite
An open bite is when you have a space between your upper and lower teeth which restricts them from touching when your mouth is closed. This can make it hard to chew or difficult to bite into everyday foods, like apples.
Invisalign aligners can treat open bites in a matter of a few short months, eliminating previous chewing functionality problems.
Crowded Teeth
When the mouth doesn’t have enough space to fit all the teeth, they get crowded. Because of this, the teeth twist, get pushed in the front or back, or overlap, causing bad breath, tooth infections and decay, and poor dental hygiene. Invisalign can fix cases of crowding from mild to extreme circumstances.
Baby & Permanent Teeth
Invisalign can be used, in some cases, to pull baby and or permanent teeth down in position for better alignment. A series of liners and elastics are used for this purpose, to grab and pull the teeth down effectively.
Generally Straighter Teeth
Generally straighter teeth alignment is one of the most common reasons for a person to start their Invisalign journey. Small movements and adjustments to your teeth can make a big difference in your smile and all this can happen faster than you think.
Due to the limited movement required, this can also make Invisalign treatment very affordable.
