Problems with teeth that are too far apart or too crowded can make you unhappy with how you look. To fix these kinds of issues, people can assume that they will have to use metal braces. What you can find during an appointment at our office is that Orthodontic Clear Aligners can help you. By using these appliances, you can gradually move your teeth into their proper positions, and you can do so without having to have braces permanently set in place for the duration of your adjustment.
A set of personalized clear aligners will be provided to you at the beginning of your orthodontic treatment. Each is worn for a set period of time; you should keep your designated aligner in place throughout the day to keep on track with treatment, but you can remove them when you eat or clean your teeth. All of your appliances are made to be difficult to see. That means when they are in place, you will not have to worry about their impact on your smile.
By taking on problems with malocclusion—poor teeth spacing—you can make improvements to the way you look. What you should know is that you can also count on orthodontic care to improve your oral health. For people who have teeth that are crowded, straightening them can help with oral hygiene efforts, as spaces that were hard to reach are now easier to keep clean. You can also count on your treatment to fix issues with poor bite function that are linked to problems with your spacing. Evenly spaced teeth help you apply and release bite pressure evenly so that you are not taxing your jaw joints or overusing certain teeth when you bite and chew.
