Many people who have mild to moderate issues with malocclusion—a problem with the alignment of their teeth that can affect their appearance and bite function—can qualify for treatment with Orthodontic Clear Aligners. What should you expect after you qualify for this approach to care? With these aligners as an alternative to metal braces, you can go through your corrective work without worrying about the way you look. You can also be glad to have appliances that you can remove, as this will make it easier for you to go about your daily routine and keep up with good smile care.
Your adjustment will start after you undergo an evaluation, at which point we can both confirm you are a good candidate for treatment and take the measurements we need to provide personalized appliances. When you take home these aligners, you will wear one at a time for the recommended time period. You should feel at ease with them in place, even when you find yourself in important social or professional situations, as they can avoid detection thanks to their clear design. However, you can take them out whenever you eat or clean your teeth, which makes it easier for you to keep up with these habits.
What can you look forward to after you finish corrective work? Once your smile is straightened, you can find that it is easier for you to bite and chew food without putting stress on your jaw. You can also have an easier time evenly distributing bite pressure, which can keep you from wearing down certain teeth. Of course, you can also look forward to showing off a straighter, more attractive smile!
