When deciding to correct problems with the spacing of your teeth, it helps to explore each option for orthodontic treatment. If you have been told that your teeth are not as aligned as they could be, bringing them into a straighter position can improve your bite and prevent future oral health problems. Also known as malocclusion, problems with your bite can increase your risk of cavities and dental discoloration, and create problems with the joint of your jaw. By selecting a set of custom-made clear aligners, you can fix your spacing problems more discreetly than with traditional metal braces.
At your Prairie Village, KS dental practice, we understand that the imposing appearance of bracket-and-wire braces may discourage certain patients from correcting their bite. This unfortunately leads to compounding oral health problems later in life when not treated earlier. This is why we offer Orthodontic Clear Aligners to help you close gaps and correct overlapping teeth. When your treatment system is practically invisible, you can begin straightening your smile without worry!
When your teeth are not straight, it can take quite a toll on your self-confidence. You may attempt to hide your smile from others and feel less enthusiastic about engaging socially. This can deeply affect your personality, meaning correcting your teeth can become more than an esthetic or oral health concern. The right approach to orthodontic care can provide real benefits for your mental health as well!
By wearing a set of clear aligners, you can bring crowded teeth into a straight position to more easily clean them. While your brush may not reach its entire surface before, a straighter smile allows you to floss and brush with ease. Because your aligners are removable, you can also maintain your oral hygiene routine throughout the corrective period.
When you visit our practice, we will take images of your smile and jaw to create a 3D digital model. This allows us to create an impression without the need for messy goo or molds. After sending your model to an offsite lab, technicians will create a set of clear aligners for you to wear in succession. As each aligner tray pulls your teeth into place, you will see your grin correct gradually. Because your trays are translucent, they will hardly impact your visual appearance during the treatment itself.
Improving the position of your smile can offer great cosmetic benefits while improving your oral health! The discreet nature of Orthodontic Clear Aligners allows you to correct your teeth on your terms.
