When you undergo treatment to straighten smiles, you likely picture treatment with braces affixed to your teeth. Once attached, these are not going anywhere for the next two years. But what if we could provide an option that can be removed? In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about our removable orthodontics, which are also practically invisible! You don’t need metal braces, you can enjoy a removable option for improving your overfall alignment.
Starting Treatment with Clear Aligners
First, we will take a very close look at your smile with advanced imaging technology, including digital x-rays. We do so in order to understand the cause and extent of your misalignment. From there, we can choose the right treatment option to help address your misalignment, which could often include clear aligners. These are a series of aligners that are actually removable when worn, and which help gradually shift your smile to correct misalignment without the need for metal braces, and in a shorter time frame too.
Removing Your Orthodontics
Each set of your new aligners will be custom-made for you, so they can gently and effectively correct your alignment, providing a comfortable and convenient way to straighten your smile. They can also be removed, so you do not have to alter your diet or avoid certain foods during the treatment process. Simply take them out before you sit down to eat. Being removable also means that when it comes time to brush and floss, you don’t have to work around wires and brackets. You can clean your teeth easier and enjoy straighter smiles and healthier teeth and gums too.
Other Benefits
Let’s talk about treatment times. When you undergo care, this could provide optimal results in as little as one year for adults, and between a year and 18 months for teens. Which means a much shorter treatment time when compared to the two to two-and-a-half years that metal braces require. You also have fewer office visits too.
