When your teeth are not aligned properly, you can experience one or more of these issues: You may can have a noticeable gap between teeth, a problem with teeth that overlap, issues with teeth that seem to protrude or “jut” out, and general problems with an asymmetrical smile. It can be frustrating to look at your smile and see how poor alignment affects the way you look. This issue can also interfere with your dental health in frustrating ways. The good news is that you can have work done to fix these problems without the kind of traditional orthodontic appliances that must be permanently set in place and call attention to themselves with their conspicuous appearance.
Orthodontic Clear Aligners benefit patients by making work to straighten teeth more discreet as well as easier to commit to. Your appliances are custom-made to make sure they fit securely and make the right changes to your appearance. You will wear each one for a set period of time—to stay on track with your adjustment, you should keep them in place throughout the day. With that said, you can freely remove them when you eat or clean your teeth!
As you learn about what orthodontic treatment can do for you, you can find that there is more to corrective work than just making your smile more attractive. With your aligners, you can make corrections that actually improve your bite function. Uneven teeth can make it difficult to bite and chew in a way that minimizes stress on your jaw. Over time, leaving this problem untreated can lead to issues with TMJ disorder. You can also have an easier time cleaning your teeth when you no longer have problems with teeth that overlap.
The choice to fix alignment flaws with clear aligners can give you a smile free from issues with gaps, awkward overlaps between teeth, and more! If you would like to find out more, please call our Prairie Village, KS dental office at 913-901-8585.
