Traditional orthodontic methods, like braces or Invisalign, may take around one to two years to complete. This is because they correct each tooth to achieve a properly straightened grin. If only a few of your teeth are crooked, it may be unnecessary to go through several years of orthodontic treatment. Instead, our method of clear aligners can target the problem areas and give you a straighter smile in less time. To determine if you are a good candidate for this method. the team will examine your oral cavity and assess the amount of misalignment. Then, your custom trays will be created to fit your teeth snuggly.
You will need to wear your trays every day for the majority of the day. The only time they should be taken out is when eating or doing your oral hygiene routine. This means they should be worn while you sleep, too. Unlike braces, you won’t have to worry about uncomfortable brackets and wires irritating your teeth and gums. The aligners are fit to your smile, so they are often found to be more comfortable than braces. A significant advantage of this method is that they are virtually invisible to others. This means you won’t have to feel self-conscious about braces that can disrupt your appearance. Treatment time for this method will vary between each patient, and some may complete the process in as little as three months. This means if you start the process at the beginning of summer, you could have a transformed smile by the fall.
This option can help address problems like overcrowded teeth or gaps between your pearly whites. By the end of your treatment, you can feel more confident knowing you have a symmetrical grin. Having an attractive smile leaves a good impression on others. It can help you appear more professional, approachable, and welcoming. Aside from these benefits, you may also notice that your oral health is in better shape. It may be easier to brush and floss once your teeth are properly straightened. This can reduce the chances of developing cavities, gum disease, and other common oral health concerns.
This alignment treatment can be completed in less than a year. To get started with the process, call Dr. Browne’s team in Prairie Village, KS, today at 913-901-8585.
