A Clear Alternative To Metal Braces

If you have an uneven smile, then we can provide relief with our clear and comfortable orthodontics. Instead of braces, we can offer an alternative with clear and cozy orthodontics aligners. In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about our clear alternative to metal braces, one that is comfortable and does not impact your appearance!

The Importance of Correcting Your Uneven Smile

Why should you consider seeking treatment for your uneven smile? Obviously, this can provide cosmetic benefits, so you enjoy a straighter smile and feel more confident. But this also improves your oral health and bite function. When we develop misalignment, this can upset how our bite fits together, leading to imbalance linked to issues like TMJ disorder and even bruxism (teeth grinding). Misalignments could also make it more difficult to brush and floss thoroughly, so even if you take time to care for your teeth each day, you could still have a high risk of tooth decay and gum disease. But we can offer better oral health, an improved bite function, and a more attractive appearance in as little as one year with orthodontic clear aligners.

Starting Treatment with Orthodontic Clear Aligners

Our team will start the process by carefully examining your smile to assess the cause and severity of your misalignment concerns. If we find clear aligners are the right solution for you, we will next take detailed images and impressions of your bite with digital technology, so we can create a detailed 3D impression that is used to design and craft your custom aligners. Each set is made for your smile especially, and crafted from a BPA-free acrylic material that is clear in appearance. You can then start the treatment process, wearing a set for two weeks, 20 to 23 hours a day, and repeat the process as your smile is corrected.

Being Able to Remove Your Braces

Along with being clear in appearance, these can also be removed! Which means you can take them out before you eat, so you do not need to make changes to your diet or avoid certain foods and snacks. This removability also means you can take them out before you brush and floss, so you can more easily care for your smile and enjoy a lowered risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and stained teeth when compared to treatment with braces.
