As the new year begins, it’s becoming increasingly common to hear friends and family talk about steps their taking to achieve their new year resolutions. For some, that’s eating less and working out more. For others, it’s spending less money and saving more on the things that matter most to them. But did you know that giving your smile more attention is a great option as well? If you have crooked, misaligned, or gapped teeth, Invisalign provides a clear and straightforward system to achieving a smile that is straighter, healthier, and more attractive! Keep reading to learn why treatment can make a great resolution.
Boost Confidence in Your Appearance
If you’ve been wanting to put yourself out there more, either to meet a special someone or make a splash at your workplace, having a confident smile you feel comfortable showing off can make a world of difference. Not only will you feel good smiling throughout the day, but others will begin to take notice. A smile is one of the first things people unconsciously look for when meeting others for the first time, so it pays off to have one free of gaps or crooked teeth.
Make Oral Care Easier at Home
Gapped teeth are generally more difficult to clean since it provides more surface area for plaque and food debris to get trapped. As a result, you need to work harder when brushing and flossing to keep your mouth clean. Avoiding any cavities, gum disease, or other dental disease in the new year is a more than worthwhile resolution to strive for, and completing Invisalign can be a perfect component of that process.
Prevent Jaw Issues Later in Life
While Invisalign is known for resolving crooked and misaligned teeth, it can also work to readjust mild to moderate malocclusions (i.e. overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites, etc.) An uneven bite is more likely to put stress on the jaw joints (a.k.a. the temporomandibular joints).
If you don’t address your uneven bite, it can lead to TMJ disorder, a condition characterized by jaw discomfort, facial soreness, headaches, earaches, and pain in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. In cases like these, starting Invisalign can help you stay proactive against these types of long-term health issues, which is always a good resolution to keep in mind.
It’s a new year, which means there’s no reason to put off improving yourself and protecting your oral and overall health. Don’t wait another day to speak with a dentist about Invisalign treatment!
