Invisalign Treatment for Crowded Teeth

Do you have crowded teeth? Crowded teeth happen when there is limited
space for teeth to erupt normally. This causes teeth to overlap each
other or twist.

There are three classes of crowded teeth classified by the number of
crowded teeth. These are mild, moderate, and severe.

Mild crowding – Mild crowding occurs when
one upper or lower tooth is rotated or twisted.

Moderate crowding – Moderate crowding
occurs when two or three teeth overlap in the upper or lower jaw.

Severe crowding – Severe crowding occurs
when a majority of your teeth are twisted

Invisalign treatment can correct mild, moderate, and severe crowding.
In some cases, teeth extraction is necessary.

What causes teeth crowding?

Some reasons why you may have crowded teeth include:

• Genetics – A condition of crowded teeth can be inherited from
  parents.
• Childhood habits such as thumb sucking, and consistent use of
  pacifiers, feeding bottles, or other oral objects.
• Over-retained baby teeth – These are baby teeth that were not
  shed on time and remained in place interfering with the eruption of
  permanent teeth.
• Early loss of baby teeth – Losing baby teeth early can cause
  teeth shifting which can interfere with the correct eruption of
  permanent teeth.
• Injuries or trauma that misaligned the jaw.
• Periodontal disease.
• Excessive pressure on teeth and gums.

What to Expect with Invisalign Treatment for Crowded
Teeth

Invisalign treatment for crowded teeth starts with a dental
evaluation that includes taking X-ray images of your teeth and roots to
determine a treatment plan.

Your Invisalign dentist then designs your aligners. These are clear
aligners that are worn on teeth to make them straight. Aligners work on
your teeth gradually.

Each set of aligners is custom-made for you. You wear the aligners
day and night. You can expect mild discomfort in the first few days but
you will soon get used to them, especially so because you wear them for
22 hours daily.

Invisalign treatment runs for about 6 to 18 months depending on
whether you have mild, moderate, or severe crowding.

Why Invisalign for crowded teeth

Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible which gives them an
advantage over traditional metal braces for teeth straightening. They
are also removable and you can easily take them off when eating. If you
