Understanding What’s Happening and How Invisalign Can Help Fix It
Have you noticed your teeth starting to move or appear misaligned? Maybe a small gap is closing, or a tooth seems to be leaning out of place. You're not imagining it — teeth do shift over time, even if you’ve had braces before.
Why Are My Teeth Moving All of a Sudden?
There are several reasons why teeth can begin to shift, including:
Natural Ageing: As we get older, the jawbone can change shape or shrink slightly, which may cause teeth to move or crowd.
Emerging Wisdom Teeth: Late-developing wisdom teeth can create pressure and push other teeth forward.
Missing Teeth: When a tooth is lost and not replaced, neighboring teeth often begin to slide into the empty space.
Grinding or Clenching (Bruxism): Continuous pressure from grinding can gradually misalign your teeth.
Not Wearing a Retainer Post-Braces: Teeth tend to slowly move back to their original positions if retainers aren’t used consistently.
Is It a Serious Issue?
It can become one. Shifting teeth may result in: Teeth shifting Invisalign
Misaligned bites, which can lead to jaw discomfort or TMJ issues
Difficulty cleaning between teeth, increasing the risk of cavities and gum issues
Aesthetic concerns that may affect your smile and confidence
