Clear Aligners Can Positively Impact Your Oral Health

If you have been considering orthodontic treatment, you may be thinking about the cosmetic benefits that this process will have for you. Crooked, overcrowded, or unevenly spaced teeth can cause your smile to be asymmetrical and may make you feel self-conscious in your appearance. By correcting these issues, you can improve your pearly whites and feel confident in your look. Orthodontic treatment can also help protect your long term oral health. Dr. Browne’s team in Prairie Village, KS, is here today to talk about the benefits of aligning your teeth.

Treatment Is Comfortable And Discreet

There are many types of orthodontic methods available for patients today. Traditional metal braces are one option that is still very popular today. This method uses metal brackets and wires to gradually shift your teeth into the proper position. While this treatment can correct several problems, the brackets and wires are very apparent in your smile and may not be the most comfortable. Our method of clear aligners uses transparent trays that fit snuggly to your teeth and gradually adjust your smile. This method may be more comfortable when eating and doing your oral hygiene routine and may be a helpful option for adults who want to correct their alignment.

A Straight Smile Can Boost Your Confidence

Our smiles are one of our most prominent features, and feeling confident in it can make you feel more confident overall. Orthodontic treatments can provide both cosmetic and functional improvements for your pearly whites. Along with improved confidence, you may also appear more professional, friendlier to others, and leave a good first impression on others. Our method of clear aligners also allows you to feel confident throughout treatment, because you won’t need to worry about metal braces getting in the way of your pearly whites. The trays are virtually invisible, so others will not be able to tell you are going through orthodontic treatment. In some cases, you may be able to complete this process in less than a year.

Correcting Crooked Teeth Can Protect Them From Harm

Aside from your appearance, there are many functional issues that can be improved by straightening your teeth. You may notice that you can speak with more clarity after the process because your teeth have been moved into the correct position. A properly straightened smile can also help prevent injuries to your teeth in the future. If your pearly whites overlap each other, it could be more difficult to clean between them, which can lead to decay and other concerns. Correcting this issue allows for your teeth to be protected from many of these problems in the future.
