Ready To Try Clear Orthodontics?

Don’t let poor alignment in your teeth cause issues with your oral health or your confidence in your appearance. Instead, talk to our team about orthodontic treatment. Instead of traditional braces, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist can offer clear orthodontic aligners, which are barely visible!

The Risks of Uneven Teeth

What risks will an uneven smile pose for your smile? If you have crooked, crowded, or overlapping teeth, this could make thorough brushing and flossing a more difficult process, which makes the risk of tooth decay and gum disease much higher. For some, poor alignment could strain the jaw joints and increase the risk of TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). You may also feel uncomfortable with your appearance, which could impact your social life. Our team wants to help improve the health and beauty of your smile with orthodontics, and we can offer a cosmetic approach with clear orthodontic aligners.

Creating Your Clear Orthodontic Aligners

These aligners will fit snugly over your teeth and help shift them closer and closer to proper alignment. To begin, our team will examine your smile to assess the cause and severity of your misalignment. We can then decide if you need clear orthodontics, and if so, we can take detailed digital images of your smile from multiple angles. We then use these digital images and measurements to design and create a series of aligners from a clear and BPA-free plastic material. Once these are ready, you can start the treatment process!

What to Expect From the Process

You will receive a series of aligners, and will wear each set for about 20 to 22 hours a day over a period of about two weeks. You then begin wearing the next in the series and continue this process until you obtain an even smile, which could take as little as one year in some cases. Unlike traditional braces, these are removable, which means you can take them out before meals to avoid food being trapped in your orthodontics, so no need to avoid certain options. Being removable also means an easier time brushing and flossing your teeth, so your risk of tooth decay and periodontal issues during the treatment process is much lower.
