Invisalign for Gaps

Can Invisalign Fix Gaps?

Yes, Invisalign can fix spaces between teeth. We can offer a consultation to examine your teeth and determine the most suitable Invisalign treatment. The benefits of using Invisalign for gaps include:

1. Enhanced self-esteem: Closing gaps in your teeth will improve your smile. This change will improve your confidence and make you feel more relaxed, enabling you to smile while taking pictures and meeting people.
2. Better oral hygiene: You can remove the clear aligners whenever you want to eat or clean your teeth. This will keep your teeth free of plaque and prevent food particles from getting trapped between them.
3. Personalized treatment: Invisalign clear aligners can be designed to fit your teeth. The aligners are created after making a 3D impression of each tooth, which is why they will fit your teeth perfectly.
4. Comfortable, clear aligners: Invisalign clear braces make eating comfortable. When you choose Invisalign for gaps, no metal wires, elastics, or plates will be attached to your teeth. Food won’t get stuck in your aligners; you can easily remove and replace them. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners let you enjoy your favorite foods without hesitation.
5. Discreet treatment: As you use Invisalign as a treatment for gap teeth, your clear aligners will be virtually invisible. Unlike someone wearing traditional braces, you will not have to be embarrassed each time you open your mouth.

What Causes Gaps in Teeth?

A variety of factors can contribute to the occurrence of gaps between teeth. In some people, gaps are related to the size of their jawbone and the relative size of their teeth. Spaces may be formed between teeth when a person’s teeth are too small for their jawbone. Consequently, the teeth appear too far from each other. The size of the jawbone and teeth is determined by inheritance, so that you may notice gaps in the teeth of your parents and other family members, too.

You could also have spaces between teeth because of an overgrowth of tissue at the border between your upper front teeth and your gum line. This overgrowth creates space between teeth, which is treatable with Invisalign for gaps.

In addition, some bad habits can trigger the formation of a gap between teeth. For example, children who indulge in thumb-sucking can put excessive pressure on the front teeth, which may pull them forward. In older children, gaps can develop due to improper swallowing reflexes.

Instead of staying at the mouth roof as food is swallowed, the tongue can push the front teeth forward, a condition known as tongue thrust. While it may look harmless, separation can occur, requiring teeth gap treatment.

Gaps can also result from gum disease. When the gums become swollen, this can damage the supporting tissues around the teeth, causing gaps and tooth loss.

Why Should You Fix Spaced Teeth?

Choosing Invisalign for gaps that are prominent, embarrassing, or caused by gum disease is essential. While there are various options for teeth gap treatment, Invisalign, the comfortable, replaceable, clear aligner, is one of the best choices.

How to Fix Gaps in Teeth

The type of treatment you receive from your dentist depends on the cause and size of the gaps in your teeth. Some of the most effective treatment options include the following:

• Invisalign treatment: Yes, Invisalign can fix gaps between teeth.
• Porcelain veneers or bonding: Porcelain veneers may be necessary when teeth are broken, cracked, or have old fillings. Bondings are a temporary type of tooth gap treatment for gaps caused by traumatic injuries.
• Dental bridge: If gaps in the teeth result from missing teeth, an implant bridge or crown can replace a missing tooth.

If your dentist diagnoses a gum infection, you must be treated for the infection first before braces are used to close the gap.

Invisalign Cost for Gap Teeth?

The cost of your Invisalign treatment in NYC will be determined by the severity of your dental problem and how long it will take to complete treatment. You may only need to wear aligners for about 10 weeks for minor gaps. Mild gaps usually take about 20 weeks, while moderately severe cases take about 12 to 18 months.

Prices for minor cases could begin at $2,000. However, you need to undergo an imaging scan and dental examination to obtain an accurate estimate of the cost of Invisalign for gaps.
