How We Correct Smiles With Clear Aligners

Dental misalignment can lead to poor oral health and can also impact the appearance of your smile. But instead of relying on braces or other traditional orthodontics for help, we can offer a cosmetic alternative. In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about correcting smiles with orthodontic clear aligners.

When to Start Treatment

When should you consider orthodontic treatment? If you have crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth, even if this is minor, then you benefit from treatment. Otherwise, your appearance can suffer and the health of your teeth and gums can as well, as misalignment is linked to poorer oral health. You should contact our team and schedule a consultation. We will examine your smile to assess the cause and extent of your misalignment, so we can decide if our orthodontic clear aligners are right for you. If so, then we will start the process of creating your custom and clear trays.

Crafting Custom Aligners

Our team will take detailed images and measurements of your smile from multiple angles, combining them to create digital impressions that are far more accurate than standard physical impressions. Plus, no need to bite down on molds filled with gooey materials! We then send these images, measurements, and impressions to experts at a lab who will create your orthodontics from a BPA-free plastic material. When your series of aligners arrive, you can start the treatment process.

The Smile Correction Process

How will this correct your smile? No need for braces or wires. Instead, you will wear a set of aligners that fit snugly over your teeth., These are clear in appearance, and each set gently shifts your teeth closer and closer to the even smile you deserve. Each set is worn for two weeks, 20 to 22 hours a day on average. For some, optimal results are possible in as little as one year. Along with being clear in appearance, they are also removable. Being able to take them out means an easier time cleaning your appliances, and also a much simpler time brushing and flossing your teeth, so you can better protect your oral health. Being removable also means you can take them out before meals so you don’t have to change your diet or avoid certain foods.
