Problems Crooked or Crowded Teeth Can Cause
Crowded, gapped, or slightly misaligned teeth can make certain spots harder to clean properly, which raises your risk of plaque buildup and gum irritation over time. Misalignment can also put uneven pressure on your bite, which leads to jaw discomfort or worn teeth over time if left uncorrected.
The idea of fixing it with metal braces, especially as an adult, is often enough to make people put it off entirely.
Our Invisalign in Kirkland straightens your teeth gradually with clear, removable aligners, so you can fix these issues without changing how you look or live day to day.
How Invisalign Aligners Fix These Issues
This treatment uses custom, clear aligners to gradually straighten and shift your teeth into place. You wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks before switching to the next in the series.
Our clear aligners in Kirkland use gentle, consistent pressure to correct a wide range of alignment issues, including:
- Crowded teeth that overlap or crowd for space
- Gaps or spacing between teeth
- Mild to moderate bite issues, including overbites and underbites
- Teeth that have shifted after previous braces
- Minor relapse from past orthodontic treatment
