Invisalign:Versatilely Yours--Moles Orthodontics

As certified Milwaukee Invisalign providers, we at Moles Orthodontics know that Invisalign treatment corrects a broad range of dental and orthodontic issues. But a confident smile isn't the only benefit of straightening your teeth with custom-made Invisalign aligners – your health can be positively impacted as well. Following are several common issues that we can work with you to correct.


Overly Crowded Teeth: This occurs when there is simply a lack of room in your jaw for all of your teeth to fit normally. When left untreated, overly crowded teeth can cause dental decay, increase the risk of gum disease, and prevent the normal function of teeth.



Widely Spaced Teeth: This occurs with abnormal continued growth of the jaw bone. When teeth are missing, this issue can also be caused by the other teeth shifting due to extra space. Spacing issues in teeth can cause some periodontal diseases.


Crossbite: This occurs when the upper and lower jaws are both misaligned. It causes one or more upper teeth to bite on the inside of the lower teeth, and can happen on both the front and sides of the mouth. This issue can cause wear of the teeth, gum disease, and bone loss.


Overbite: This occurs when the upper teeth bite over the lower teeth. It's typically caused by either genetics, bad oral habits, or over-development of the bone that supports the teeth. This issue can lead to gum problems or irritation, wear on the lower teeth, and painful jaw and joint problems.


Underbite: This occurs when the lower teeth protrude past the front teeth. It's usually caused by undergrowth of the upper jaw, overgrowth of the lower jaw, or both. It can also be caused by missing upper teeth. This issue can prevent the normal function of front teeth or molars which can lead to tooth wear. It can also cause painful jaw and joint problems.


Regardless of the issues at play with your teeth, we can work with you at Moles Orthodontics to create a custom-designed program that will treat your specific needs. Give us a call today to find out if you are a candidate for Moles Invisalign treatment.

Dr. Moles was the only orthodontist I know of that offered class III treatment without surgery. My daughter has JRA and cannot have any joint immobilized. I'm so grateful to Dr. Moles for working with my daughter. She looks fantastic and in a few months will be finished with her treatment.
-John M.

I like that the office and doctor stay on top of the latest technology. The staff is pleasant and helpful. I also like the fact that Dr. Moles treats adults with TMJ.

I want the entire staff to know that I am so impressed with the Barnes and Noble gift card they sent to me as a result of several appointment reschedules. I can't tell you how impressed I am by this. I will highly recommend you to my friends and tell my regular dentist that you are all terrific. Thank you.

Gummy Tummy Moles Orthodontics

We know the rumors going around – mostly among young people – that once you swallow a piece of chewing gum it will stake a claim and take up residency in your stomach for at least seven years! We really hate to take all the fun out of the mystery, but the truth is that chewing gum, when swallowed, will enter the stomach and move through the digestive system just like any other piece of food and leave the body long before seven years! So, if you ever have accidentally swallowed a piece of gum, there is no need to worry!

This being said, gum does not have any dietary benefits, so while it’s not harmful to swallow, you still want to avoid swallowing it. If you are a gum-chewer, make sure you chew sugarless gum, because gum with sugar can lead to cavities. Sugarless gum still has the same amount of flavor, but with less cavity causing ingredients. You see, when the bacterium in your mouth breaks down sugar, what’s left behind is acid. This acid eats away at the enamel coating of your teeth, causing holes that we call cavities. Cavities can lead to other long term mouth problems if they are not treated in time, so it is best to try and avoid overexposing your teeth to too many harmful substances!

Happy (sugar-free) gum chewing from Moles Orthodontics!
