Enjoying An Even Smile In One Year

What if we could correct your crowded, crooked, and overlapping teeth in just one year? With clear aligners instead of metal brackets and wires, we can offer stunning results in a much shorter time frame! In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about obtaining an even smile in only one year.

Treatment with Orthodontic Clear Aligners

How do we treat your uneven teeth without the need for braces? While braces are effective for the more severe cases of poor alignment, our orthodontic clear aligners can help more minor cases and provide a cosmetic alternative that ensures results in a short time frame often in as little as one year. You should consider treatment if you have uneven teeth, as poor alignment can strain your jaw joints to increase the risk of complications like TMJ disorder and even bruxism (teeth grinding), damaging teeth and altering how you open and close your mouth. Misalignment can also increase the risk of complications like tooth decay and gum disease, causing discomfort and even a higher risk of tooth loss! But we can help you smile without hesitation again.

The Time You Need for Treatment

The aligners focus more on the front facing and visible teeth, shifting teeth gradually with a series of these removable orthodontics. This means that we don’t need as long for the jawbone to reform around the teeth as we would with braces, so you can see results in a shorter time frame. The aligner process involves wearing a set from the series that we provide for you for about 20 to 23 hours a day. Each set is worn for two weeks, then you wear the next in the series and continue the process until you see even results. We will monitor you throughout the process too.

Benefits of Removable Aligners

As we mentioned above, these will be clear in appearance and nearly invisible, which is preferable for adults in professional settings and our teen patients. They can also be removed before you eat, so you don’t have to worry about food being trapped in your orthodontics, or about avoiding your favorite snacks. This removability also means the process of brushing and flossing is simpler, so you have a lower risk of cavities, gum disease, and stained teeth during the treatment process.
