Treating Misalignment Without Braces

Poor alignment can lead to embarrassment regarding your appearance, as well as a host of serious oral health complications. To help treat the issue and offer an even smile, we can provide solutions with clear aligners. In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about our alternative to metal braces with orthodontic clear aligners.

The Causes of Dental Misalignment

First, let’s talk about dental misalignment. We could develop an uneven smile due to various factors. IN childhood, thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, or the premature loss of your primary teeth could be factors. For teens and adults, poor alignment could be due to wisdom tooth eruption or tooth loss. Regardless of the cause, misalignment can lead to issues with the appearance of your smile, as well as poor oral health and bite function. To enjoy better oral health and a smile that makes you feel confident, we recommend treatment with our orthodontic clear aligners!

The Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

This option doesn’t not use metal braces at all, which means your orthodontics will be practically invisible when worn, which is preferable for many of our teen and adult patients. They are also removable, which means you can take them out before meals instead of altering your diet. Being removable also means an easier time brushing and flossing, no need to work around metal orthodontics. This can lower the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and teeth stains. The treatment time is also shorter! Instead of two years, as braces often require, you could see optimal results in as little as one.

Our Orthodontic Clear Aligners

Each set of orthodontic clear aligners in the series will be custom-made for your smile, ensuring a comfortable fit and treatment with precision. The treatment process involves wearing a set for about two weeks, 20 to 22 hours a day on average, and then doing the same thing for the next set in the series. You continue to do so until you see optimal results! The aligners will be easy to wear and clean, and they can travel with you and be worn without impacting your professional appearance.
