Invisalign for Severe Crowding

Invisalign is a great tool for the treatment of severe crowding. 
 
Crowding happens when the size of the jaw is smaller than the size of the teeth.
Free Consult
Correcting the crowding can improve:
 
1. The esthetics of the smile: the teeth no longer appear “crooked”✅
2. The dental hygiene: it is much easier to brush and floss teeth that fit properly✅
3. Tooth wear: teeth that are crowded can wear down unevenly, straight teeth and a good bite lower the risk of tooth wear✅
4. Issues with the bite: straight teeth allow the bite to be centred and even✅
5. Gum health: frequently, crowded teeth put strain on thin gums and can cause recession.✅
6. Easier cleaning at the dentist: straight teeth are easier to professionally clean by scaling and root planing.✅
 
Schedule your FREE Smile Consult with Dr. MacKenzie in Saint John, Quispamsis or St. Stephen to see if you are a candidate for Invisalign.
