With braces, uneven teeth can be corrected, but these orthodontics are not only very visible, but they cannot be removed until treatment is done, usually about two years. However, with orthodontic clear aligners, our team can address misalignment with clear aligners that can be easily removed during the day! In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about the advantages of removable braces.
The Importance of Correcting Your Uneven Teeth
You should consider starting orthodontic treatment to help straighten your even smile. Not only will this boost the appearance of your smile, but this can also safeguard your oral health and lower the risk of complications like tooth decay and even gum disease. You also have a lowered risk of painful complications like TMJ disorder or even chronic teeth grinding (bruxism). For a healthier smile, see our team now! We can examine your smile to see if our clear aligners are right for you, and start you on the treatment path now, so you enjoy an even smile in 2026. A visit now means you can use those remaining 2025 dental benefits and any leftover health savings account funds before they expire at the end of the month!
The Orthodontic Clear Aligner System
With our orthodontic clear aligners, we don’t need metal brackets or wires at all. Instead, we will create a series of clear trays from a BPA-free plastic material. This will ensure an attractive appearance, so you don’t undergo changes to your professional appearance during treatment, which makes this preferable for teens and adults alike. The treatment process involves wearing a set of them from a series for two weeks, 20 to 23 hours a day on average. You then continue the process until you see optimal results, which is usually in as little as one year.
The Benefits of Removability
With removable aligners, you can enjoy treatment with custom orthodontics that can be taken out. No need to change your diet or about certain items, as you just take them out prior to meals. You can even protect your smile by brushing and flossing before you return them to your bite again. Being removable also means an easier time brushing and flossing each day, so you can better protect your smile during the treatment process.
