What Is Crowded Teeth and Why Is It a Problem?

Crowded teeth occur when there isn’t enough space in the dental arch, causing the teeth to crowd together or overlap. This condition can be hereditary or caused by early loss of baby teeth and long-term habits such as thumb-sucking.

The consequences are often both functional and aesthetic. Cleaning becomes more difficult, which can lead to plaque buildup, cavities, and gum inflammation. Misaligned teeth also wear unevenly, which can affect the stability of the bite. Many patients also describe a negative impact on self-confidence as a result of uneven teeth.

Invisalign: The Invisible Solution for Straightening Your Teeth

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic method that uses custom-made, clear aligners to correct tooth alignment. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign does not use metal brackets or wires, providing a discreet and comfortable treatment experience.

The main advantages of Invisalign are:

• Discretion: The clear aligners make the treatment virtually invisible.

• Comfort: Each aligner is custom-made to fit the patient’s unique tooth shape, minimizing irritation in the mouth.

• Hygiene: The aligners can be easily removed during meals and when brushing your teeth, making it easier to maintain good oral health.

• Freedom: You can eat as usual without worrying about food getting stuck or causing damage.

Invisalign for crowded teeth is a scientifically proven method that delivers stable and long-lasting results.

For patients who already have existing dental or gum problems, it can be helpful to understand how Invisalign affects overall oral health.

How Invisalign Treatment Works, Step by Step

The Invisalign treatment at AuraDent is fully digital and based on meticulous planning using advanced imaging technology.

Step 1: Consultation and Digital Scanning

During the first visit, a clinical examination is performed, followed by a 3D scan using the iTero system. The patient is shown a virtual simulation of the expected final result and a clear treatment plan.

Step 2: Production of Custom-Made Aligners

Based on the digital model, a series of transparent aligners is produced that gradually move the teeth into their correct positions. Each set is worn for one to two weeks before being replaced by the next.

Step 3: Treatment Period and Regular Check-ups

The aligners are worn for approximately 20 to 22 hours per day. Regular check-ups with the dentist ensure that the treatment is progressing according to plan. The total treatment time typically varies between 6 and 18 months, depending on the severity of the crowding.
