Having crooked teeth can make you feel self-conscious about your appearance. There are many methods available that can help improve this problem, however, these can take several years to achieve. Dr. Browne in Prairie Village, KS, offers clear aligners that may be able to help you align your grin in less than one year. In today’s blog, we will be discussing how this is possible.
Our Method Focuses On Cosmetic Concerns
One of the most surprising aspects of our clear aligners is that the process can take just a few months, as opposed to a few years. This is because we target the crooked teeth that show in your smile. The goal is to adjust these so that you can have an even-appearing grin in less time. With other orthodontic methods, the process can take around two years because they adjust each tooth that is out of place. For patients who have more minor smile concerns, our cosmetic option may offer a greater benefit because you can achieve a symmetrical appearance faster. To get started with this option, you will first need a consultation with your dentist to see if this is the right treatment for your needs.
You Will not Have To Worry About Uncomfortable Wires
Another advantage to clear aligners is that they may be more comfortable than braces. With traditional braces, there will be brackets bonded to your teeth and held in place with the archwire. This can be uncomfortable because they can rub against your gums and cheeks. You may also have to avoid some of your favorite foods when you have braces because some crunchy or hard foods can damage your brackets. With our discreet method, you can continue eating your favorite foods without worrying about harming your orthodontic appliance. You will wear your trays for the majority of the day, taking them out only to eat, drink, and do your oral hygiene routine. Unlike braces, you will not need to see your orthodontist every six weeks for adjustments, which can cause discomfort. Instead, you will visit your dentist when it is time to change your retainers.
Boost Your Confidence With A Straighter Smile
This discreet method is popular for adults who were unable to go through the orthodontic process at a young age. If you have a crooked or overcrowded grin, it is not too late to improve this. These invisible trays can help you have an even smile, which can boost your confidence and make you feel excited to show off your pearly whites.
