Why Dr Finney Believes Invisalign Will Help You

Before Invisalign

Straight teeth help you effectively bite, chew and speak.
When your teeth and jaw are in their proper position,you have less chronic headaches and pain in your neck and face.
Straight teeth help you have healthy teeth and gums. Straight teeth are less likely to have cavities. Cavities occur when germs or bacteria in your mouth feed on sugars and starches we eat or drink. This produces acids that cause cavities. When you can't clean your teeth well because they are too crowded, we often see cavities between those teeth. And those cavities are harder to fill.
Straight teeth are less likely to be injured. Protruding upper teeth are often broken during accidents.
Crooked teeth usually become more crooked as we get older, leading to cavities, gum disease, destruction of the bone that holds teeth in place, and problems chewing. It is never too late to start Invisalign and be on your way to a healthy mouth.
Crooked teeth may have abnormal wear on tooth surfaces. Over time, this often results in tooth loss.
Straightening your teeth costs less than dental care which must be done because of crooked teeth. This includes fillings, crowns, implants and tooth extractions.
Straight teeth give you an attractive smile, which is a wonderful asset and contributes to self-esteem, self-confidence and self-image at any age. An attractive smile is a pleasant “side effect” of Invisalign.
