It can be hard to ignore the impact of poor smile alignment on your overall appearance. You can also find that your spacing issues affect your oral health and bite function in frustrating ways. Rather than continue to live with embarrassing gaps or overlaps between your teeth, you can find that you have options for straightening a smile that is not even. Using a set of Orthodontic Clear Aligners to take this problem on can lead to welcome improvements, which means you can resolve problems with your smile without the cosmetic and daily frustrations of metal braces.
Metal braces can provide important corrective work, and they can be an important option for someone who needs to do something about more significant spacing flaws. For someone who is affected by mild to moderate spacing problems, we can determine if clear aligners will work as an alternative form of care. We can take measurements of your teeth that let us evaluate the severity of your malocclusion and determine what shape and size your appliances should be. Each one makes up part of an overall adjustment strategy, and as you move from one to the next you can make your smile progressively straighter and more attractive.
Malocclusion can affect people by creating more than just cosmetic problems. The issue can also lead to difficulties with your bite function, something that can lead to more problems with TMJ disorder and bruxism. You also need to be concerned about caring for teeth that overlap, as they can be harder to keep clean. Fortunately, these are problems that go away after you take care to straighten your teeth.
