The Importance of Straight Teeth

Dr. Tuli and the team at Sherway Dentistry and Burloak Centre Dentistry encourages patients to learn about Invisalign for straightening teeth and reducing the risk of cavities, damage, and periodontal disease.

When patients have a beautiful smile, they exude confidence and health. However, when problems such as misalignment occur, patients may feel uncomfortable about sharing their smile with others. This can impact their personal and business relationships. Misalignment, also known as malocclusion, affects approximately 74% of Americans and can be easily addressed with orthodontics.

Our team is dedicated to helping patients achieve a healthier smile without the need for traditional metal bracket and wire braces. Dr. Tuli offers Invisalign, the clear alternative to braces. Invisalign can address many common dental issues including poor spacing, over crowding and improper bite alignment.

When bite problems occur, they can create unnatural stress and pressure on the natural teeth and any restorations within the smile. This can create notches in the gum line, flatten and wear down natural teeth, and even fracture bridges, crowns, and veneers. A bad bite alignment can also contribute to pain in the jaw and chronic headaches. Any premature wear on the teeth can cause gum recession and tooth loss, among many other problems. When teeth fit together in the correct manner, they will last longer and need less dental care over time. Additionally, when patients are dealing with overcrowding of the smile, they may experience an increased risk of periodontal disease. This is because it is more difficult to remove plaque and bacteria while brushing and flossing.

Over time the gum inflammation can lead to soft tissue damage and chronic infection. Furthermore, the bacteria developing within the smile can carry through the bloodstream and damage the coronary arteries, increasing the risk of developing heart disease and the likelihood for strokes, among many other medical conditions. Treating malocclusion early is important, and Dr. Tuli is excited to offer her patients Invisalign treatment to do so. Invisalign is a clear aligner therapy that can be used to realign the smile for teenagers and adults. Many of our patients love how easy the trays are to use and how discreet the process can be.
