Dr. Skibell presents: Invisalign and your oral health

When considering options for their treatment, patients tend to ask Dr. David Skibell just how Invisalign treatment is so different than wearing traditional braces. Invisalign, a series of removable aligners that are nearly invisible, not only help straighten your teeth, but the treatment can improve your oral health. Here’s how:

Healthy gums: Straight teeth allow a close fit for gums. This lessens the gum stress that is caused by crowded or widely spaced teeth, thus also reducing red and swollen gums.

Easy cleaning: Invisalign is removable, therefore brushing and flossing is easier and you are able to maintain a healthy mouth. These habits are vital to avoiding tooth decay, plaque, and gum disease.

Improved speech and chewing: Properly-aligned teeth don’t have the discomfort or compound speech impediments that can be caused by crowded teeth or a deteriorating jawbone.

If you have any questions about Invisalign treatment at our convenient Houston office, we invite you to ask Dr. Skibell or our staff during your next visit. Or, you may post your question on our Facebook page!

We hope you enjoyed your weekend, and wish you a great upcoming week!
