Do You Want An Even Smile?

An even smile can help you feel more confident in your smile, and can also help safeguard your oral health! We can help, and without the need for metal braces either. With orthodontic clear aligners, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist can offer even smiles and better oral health, sometimes in as little as one year.

The Causes of Poor Alignment (And How They Impact Your Oral Health)

What causes our smiles to become uneven? For some., this is due to factors in childhood that upset alignment or the eruption of your teeth, such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, or issues with the growth of your jaw that complicated the arrival of your teeth. Losing baby teeth early could alter how your permanent teeth arrive, which leads to uneven teeth. In your teen and adult years, factors could also lead to misalignment. Losing teeth to injury or gum disease could also upset the alignment of your smile as teeth begin to drift.

When you have an uneven smile, this makes thoroughly brushing and flossing a more difficult process, and could increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. You could also have stress on your jaw joints, which is linked to complications like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). You could also feel embarrassed about your appearance, which has a major impact on your overall quality of life. But we can help with our orthodontic clear aligners!

The Benefits of Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are less visible when worn, which makes them a preferable choice for teens and adults worried about their appearance. They also fit comfortably and can be removed before you eat, so you don’t have to alter your diet or avoid your favorite treats or meals. This removability also means an easier time thoroughly brushing and flossing, so the risk of cavities, teeth stains, and periodontal issues during treatment are lower than they would be with braces. The process also requires fewer office visits and requires a shorter time frame, with optimal results available in as little as one year in some cases.

Creating Your Cosmetic Orthodontics

Your aligners will be custom-made to ensure they fit comfortably and offer care with precision. We will take detailed images and impressions of your bite, and experts will use them in a lab setting to design and craft your aligners from a BPA-free clear acrylic material.
