People who are unfamiliar with modern orthodontic appliances can worry that their only option for correction involves metal braces. It can be less than thrilling to imagine yourself dealing with this conspicuous appliance for an extended period of time. You can also feel frustrated at the thought of upending your schedule to make time for uncomfortable manual adjustments of your braces. Clear aligners use a sequence of discreet, custom-fitted appliances you can wear without feeling self-conscious. You will need to see your dentist less often because there are no manual adjustments required, and you can remove your appliance when you clean your teeth, or whenever you eat.
MTM aligners differ from other clear aligners in an important way. MTM is an acronym for Minor Tooth Movement, which is a reference to the way these aligners concentrate on shifting teeth at the front of your smile, which are more visible, and important to your overall appearance. Because of this focus, you can actually see the results you want in less time than it takes other appliances to work. In fact, your improvements may be ready in as little as three to six months!
Your dentist can review your current smile, and talk to you about your candidacy for treatment with MTM Clear Aligners. After receiving approval, you can have your aligners planned, created, and provided to you, and start seeing positive changes. An adjustment can also help you fight cavities, as you can have an easier time fully cleaning your teeth when you address the overlaps that make spaces harder to clean.
