You might hear this at a chiropractor’s office or at a tire repair center or looking at the soles of your shoes.   However, there is another area where you may not be in alignment.  It’s your teeth. Does it matter?  Think of the gears in a motor.  If they are not in alignment then the teeth of the gears will break more quickly and easily.

This is the same analogy as with your teeth.  If your teeth are not in alignment then over time they will have a greater chance of fracturing requiring you to undergo more advanced dental treatments.  Another consequence of misaligned teeth is it is harder to keep them clean.

Think of your teeth as cubes or squares.  You need to use dental floss to clean in between them but when they are also out of alignment it is harder to keep them clean and this can lead to gum disease.

Today we have a way to move your teeth back into alignment without the metal mouth you may remember.  We use a clear aligner system which sequentially moves your teeth into the correct position.  They call it Invisalign since to others it is invisible.  So you’re out and about and only you know you are wearing them.

Magically over a short interval of time your teeth are now in alignment.  An added benefit it will make your smile more pleasing and as you know you lead with your smile so this can only be a good thing .So, if looking at your chompers  makes you cringe or you’re smiling with your lips closed maybe you’re a candidate for Invisalign.
