At MVP Family Dental in Jenkintown, we understand the significance of a healthy and confident smile. If you struggle with an improper bite, Invisalign® clear aligners could be the solution you've been looking for. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable way to align your teeth and improve both function and aesthetics.

What is Invisalign and How Does it Work?

Invisalign treatment involves using a series of custom-crafted clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their desired position. These aligners are made from a flexible plastic that’s virtually invisible when worn, allowing you to correct your smile without drawing attention to your treatment. Each set of aligners is designed to exert gentle, consistent pressure, slowly guiding your teeth into place over time.

Addressing Improper Bite Issues with Invisalign

Improper bite correction is one of the primary benefits of Invisalign. Various dental conditions can contribute to an improper bite, including:

  • Overbite Treatment: This occurs when your upper front teeth protrude too far over your lower teeth. While some overbites may seem minor, they can lead to serious issues if left untreated, such as jaw pain, speech difficulties, and poor dental hygiene. Our Invisalign treatment offers a discreet way to effectively resolve this common problem.
  • Underbite Solutions: An underbite happens when your lower teeth extend beyond your upper teeth. This misalignment can cause discomfort and negatively impact your oral health. With our personalized Invisalign treatment plan, we can provide effective underbite solutions tailored to your specific needs.
  • Crossbite Repair: A crossbite occurs when your teeth are misaligned in relation to each other, causing irregular angles in your bite. This condition can lead to uneven wear, jaw discomfort, and potential damage to your teeth. Fortunately, Invisalign offers effective crossbite solutions, guiding your teeth into their proper alignment.

What to Expect During Your Invisalign Journey

The first step in your Invisalign journey at MVP Family Dental is to book a consultation. During your appointment, our skilled team led by Dr. Priya Mathew and Dr. Vineetha Thomas will perform a thorough examination, which may include dental checkups, x-rays, and 3D imaging of your mouth. This information allows us to create a customized plan that addresses your specific dental issues.

Once your personalized aligners are fabricated, you will wear them for at least 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. The average treatment duration is about 12 months, but this can vary based on the complexity of your case. You will receive new aligners every one to two weeks, each designed to move your teeth a little closer to their ideal position.

  3. Removable: You can easily remove the aligners when eating or during dental hygiene routines, making it easier to maintain good oral health.
