An uneven smile could impact your social life and even be a source of embarrassment. But we can help address your misalignment with our cosmetic alternative to braces. In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about how we correct smiles with a cosmetic approach using our clear orthodontic aligners.
The Risks of Dental Misalignment
We always urge people with dental misalignment to seek treatment with orthodontics. Doing so helps shift teeth into proper position, so you have better alignment. This helps your smile look more attractive and also lowers the risk of complications like TMJ disorder, bruxism (teeth grinding), tooth decay, and even gum disease. You also feel more confident in your smile too! If you have crooked, crowded, or overlapping teeth, then contact our team for an initial consultation, so you can start your journey to an even smile.
A Consultation with Our Team
We will take a close look at your smile with advanced digital imaging, which enables us to see the tooth roots, jaw, and other structures in a single panoramic image, so we can assess the cause and extent of your misalignment, and then choose the best treatment option. Our team will then take detailed digital images and measurements of the smile from multiple angles, which creates a 3D computer impression far more accurate and precise than a traditional physical impression. With this information, the aligners used in this system will be custom-made, ensuring a proper fit and treatment with precision. For some, an even smile could be possible in as little as one year!
Clear Orthodontic Aligners
When your clear orthodontic aligners are ready, you can start your journey to a full smile. With this system, our team will have you wear a set of aligners from a series for 20 to 22 hours a day on average. You wear each set for about two weeks, and then begin wearing the next set for a similar amount of time. The aligners will help shift the teeth. In addition to being clear in appearance, they are also easy to clean and maintain, and can travel with you. You can remove them before meals or special occasions, so you don’t need to avoid certain foods or snacks. Being removable also means a much easier time brushing and flossing your teeth.
