Ask Dr. Romani: What can Invisalign® do for my oral health?

When considering treatment options, patients often ask Dr. Kirsten Romani how Invisalign is different than braces. Actually, there are more reasons to smile about Invisalign at Romani Orthodontics than you may know. Invisalign, a series of removable aligners that are nearly invisible, not only straighten your teeth, but can improve your oral health as well! Here are a few ways Invisalign can help improve your health, while shaping your natural, beautiful smile:

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.

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.

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.

If you have any questions about Invisalign, we encourage you to ask Dr. Romani during your next scheduled appointment. Dr. Romani is a Certified Invisalign Premier Provider in East Providence and Chepachet and surrounding communities.
