Simply put, until your smile is straightened, you can feel stuck with flaws that hurt your appearance and draw unwanted attention. Even relatively minor gaps and overlaps are capable of making you feel less attractive, as they can prove disruptive to your smile symmetry. Of course, the problem of malocclusion affects more than just the way someone looks. This is also a concern because it can negatively impact your dental health.
With discreet aligners made to avoid the notice of others, orthodontic treatment can be remarkably discreet. You can wear your aligners whenever you are in a social or professional setting without fretting over the way you look. Unlike metal braces, which are hard to hide, you can have an easier time with Orthodontic Clear Aligners because they are difficult to see.
There is more to orthodontic treatment than just a means of improving your smile. With your treatment complete, you can actually make real improvements to your oral health. One reason for this is that malocclusion can interfere with your bite function, something that will leave you more vulnerable to problems with TMJ disorder. You also need to be aware that teeth that overlap can prove more difficult to clean, which means you are more likely to have problems with plaque and tartar buildup until you do something about the way your teeth are spaced.
Through treatment with Orthodontic Clear Aligners, patients have the ability to see the positive results of corrective work without having to depend on metal braces. Patients of Dr. Browne can ask questions about this approach, and they can find out how it can help them feel better about their appearance as well as their oral health.
