At your Prairie Village, KS, dental practice, we love providing happy smiles to each of our patients. For those with spacing problems or a “bad bite,” we design custom aligner treatment systems to gradually bring your teeth into a more desirable position. By enhancing your oral health, you make our job that much easier when it’s time for your biannual cleaning!
Malocclusion is a condition that occurs when your teeth surfaces do not meet properly while taking a bite. This problem is rather common and can lead to serious complications when it becomes severe. If certain teeth take more force than they are supposed to, the wear and tear can break down their enamel, causing your bite to shift even more. As enamel loss exposes the sensitive inner dentin to oral bacteria and plaque, you become more at risk for decay and possible infection. This means that even when you brush and floss diligently, your bite can continue wearing away at your enamel, creating the possibility of disease.
When you choose Orthodontic Clear Aligners, you select a treatment option that enhances oral health both during and after the procedure. Traditional braces contain brackets and archwires that become an obstacle for your brush and floss. Because they stay on your smile permanently, debris from your meals can become stuck and build up your sticky plaque deposits. But with clear aligners, you simply take them off at mealtime and when it’s time to brush. This means a cleaner smile around the clock!
And when your aligner therapy is over, your teeth become that much easier to clean! You no longer have to worry about pockets of plaque forming where you cannot reach. Simply enjoy brushing and flossing with a more uniform smile.
You can take control of your oral health by fixing disruption in your smile’s alignment! To learn more about this service, please contact your Prairie Village, KS dentist’s office at 913-901-8585.
