This invisible alternative to\nbraces can fix issues ranging from crooked teeth to improper bite. As many\npatients enjoy they flexibility of Invisalign, some have begun to wonder if\nthey can fix their smile by treating only one arch of teeth. In this post, your\ndentist will explain if you can use Invisalign near Friendswood for only your\ntop teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can Invisalign Fix?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following issues are commonly treated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danajonesdds.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign<\/a>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Crooked teeth <\/li><li>Overbite, Underbite and Crossbite <\/li><li>Gaps in your teeth <\/li><li>Crowded teeth <\/li><li>An open bite<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is a Good Candidate for Invisalign? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The list above covers the conditions that are optimal for\nInvisalign treatment, but those with severe cases may need to use traditional\nbraces. Older teens and adults will benefit best from Invisalign treatment\nbecause their teeth have stopped growing. Because Invisalign is removable, you\nneed enough self-discipline to wear the aligners for the recommended 20-22\nhours per day. Those with active gum disease or cavities need to be treated prior\nto moving forward with Invisalign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Just Get Invisalign on the Top Teeth? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might believe that your bottom teeth are straight enough\nand don\u2019t require orthodontic treatment. Or maybe you\u2019re worried about cost and\nsimply want to fix the more noticeable top row of teeth. This treatment is\nreferred to as \u2018single arch treatment\u2019 and is becoming an increasingly popular\nrequest in dental offices. However, single arch treatment is usually discouraged\nby dentists and only used in rare cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your two teeth arches depend on each other to form your\nbite. Single arch treatment can disrupt this relationship and actually leave your\nmouth worse than it was before. Your bite can be negatively affected, damaging\nyour ability to chew and making your teeth more susceptible to harm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s understandable to see single arch treatment as a simpler\noption. However, there are numerous variables that determine if the treatment is\neven feasible. If you\u2019d like to see if single arch treatment is possible for\nyou, contact your dentist to determine if you qualify for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Ridgefield Perfect Smile Center, Dr. Dana Jones greatly values\npatient education.
