Having a healthy, beautiful smile is something everyone desires. However, dental conditions such as crossbites can cause issues that affect both the functionality and appearance of teeth. Crossbites can lead to several problems, including difficulty biting and chewing, jaw pain, and dental erosion.

Understanding Crossbites
A crossbite can affect one or more teeth, and it can be either anterior (front teeth) or posterior (back teeth). The underlying causes of crossbites can vary, including genetics, thumb-sucking, or mouth-breathing.
The Benefits of Invisalign® for Crossbites
Invisalign® clear aligners offer several advantages for correcting crossbites:
- Discreet Treatment: Invisalign® aligners are virtually invisible, making them popular for adults and teenagers who want to improve their smile without metal braces.
- Comfort: Invisalign® aligners are made of smooth, BPA-free plastic, ensuring a comfortable fit.
- Removable Aligners: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth, making oral hygiene easier.
- Predictable Treatment: Advanced 3D imaging technology allows Dr. Clark at Monarch Dental Care in Prairie Village, KS, to plan your treatment and predict the outcome.
- Improved Oral Health: Correcting a crossbite can improve your bite, chewing function, and overall oral health.
The Invisalign® Treatment Process
The Invisalign® treatment process involves several steps:
- Initial Consultation: Dr. Clark will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and jaws to determine if Invisalign® is the right treatment for you. If you have baby teeth or gum disease, you may not be eligible for this treatment.
- Digital Impressions: Digital impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a 3D model of your mouth.
- Treatment Plan: Dr. Clark will develop a customized treatment plan, outlining the number of aligners and the duration of treatment.
- Aligners Fabrication: Your aligners will be fabricated based on the treatment plan.
- Wearing Aligners: You will wear each set of aligners for a specific period, gradually shifting your teeth into the correct position.
- Follow-up Appointments: Regular check-ups with Dr. Clark will monitor your progress and ensure that your treatment is on track.
