Straight Teeth Means Better Oral Hygiene

Straightening teeth is one way to achieve healthy gums. Properly positioned teeth are easier to brush and floss than teeth that are crowded, crooked, or spaced too far apart. Properly aligned teeth can help gums "fit" tightly, which may lead to better periodontal health. If the patient also maintains good oral hygiene, having straight teeth can make cleanings easier. With Invisalign and good oral hygiene, the chances of having plaque retention, tooth decay, or gum disease can be reduced. During treatment with Invisalign, cleanings are quicker and easier than with traditional braces because there are no brackets or wires to clean around. Invisalign trays are removable for good hygiene. You can brush and floss normally, which can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Call today (818) 766-6121, to set up our free Invisalign consultation.
