Planning Orthodontic Work With Your Dentist

Are you going to need an orthodontist’s help if you want to show off a straighter smile, or are there treatment options available from your general dentist? Having access to orthodontic treatment from your regular dentist can make your care easier in several ways. One benefit to this approach is that, simply put, you can continue to rely on someone you have built a level of trust with, rather than with a new practice. Another is that it can be easier for you to arrange and keep up with care when you see someone who can also help you with any other matters that concern your smile. Our Prairie Village, KS dentist’s office can plan your orthodontic treatment with custom clear aligners, which are capable of producing smile changes as well as oral health benefits.

Can My General Dentist Really Help Me Deal With Malocclusion?

Malocclusion is a problem with the alignment and spacing of your teeth. While people often focus on how this can affect them cosmetically, it can also be a problem for your dental health. If your teeth are not even, it can be difficult for you to maintain a natural, confident bite. When this is the case, you can be more vulnerable to TMJ disorder as well as problems with your oral hygiene. Your general dentist can talk to you about malocclusion, and that can lead to a discussion about the advantages of treating this problems with Orthodontic Clear Aligners.

Discussing Treatment With Orthodontic Clear Aligners

When you start treatment with Orthodontic Clear Aligners, you can find that your corrective work is surprisingly easy to fit into your everyday life. These appliances are designed to go unnoticed by others, so you can wear them without feeling less confident, even in important professional and personal settings. They are easy to remove, so they will not be in your way when you eat or clean your teeth.

How Orthodontic Work Benefits Your Oral Health

One big benefit to straightening your teeth is that you can positively change your smile in ways that are hard not to notice. You can also see some oral health benefits that have lasting value. For example, you can have an easier time biting and chewing food after teeth are straightened, as you can have less difficulty applying and releasing pressure evenly. It can can also become easier for you to maintain your oral health after you finish straightening overlapping teeth that were previously difficult to thoroughly clean.
