3. A smile you're confident about. Last but not least, one of the clear benefits is that you'll be able to smile with confidence. Fearing that others can see crooked teeth will dissipate and you'll be able to smile all the time.

What Alignment Issues Does Invisalign Correct?

The most common reason that braces are recommended is due to crooked teeth. There are several other reasons that one may need braces including:

• Slight overbite
  
• Slight underbite
  
• Teeth that are crowded together
  
• Open bite-top and bottom teeth do not meet together
  
• Small gaps between teeth

These aligners can fix the most common problems for most individuals, but it's important to note that the dental conditions these are best suited for are slight overbites, and slightly crooked teeth. It may also be able to assist when there is a crossbite. The cost is also far less than traditional braces, so it can also be lighter on your pocketbook.
