Did you know we offer an alternative to metal braces, one that is removable and also comfortable? With orthodontic clear aligners, our team can provide a cozy and nearly invisible way to shift your smile! In today’s blog, Dr. Robert M. Browne talks about the benefits of our clear aligners.
The Need for Correcting Uneven Teeth
Why do we need to correct our uneven teeth? If you have poor alignment, then this could impact your appearance and make you feel uncomfortable in social situations. Instead of hiding your smile, you should seek correction with our clear aligners! Poor alignment also impacts your oral health, and even bite function! For example, poor alignment could make the onset of tooth decay and gum disease more likely, as the teeth are harder to thoroughly brush and floss. You could also have stress on your jaw joints due to imbalance, which leads to painful complications like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). If you have issues with the health and appearance of your smile, then talk to our team about a clear and cozy approach using our orthodontic clear aligners!
A Clear and Comfortable Approach
Metal braces are effective, but these involve attaching clearly visible brackets to the front of the teeth and connecting a wire to them. You now have visible orthodontics that are often difficult to brush and floss around, and which could make you feel self-conscious. But we can instead use a series of clear and custom aligners, each set made specifically for you to ensure comfort and treatment with precision. These are practically invisible, and being custom-made means they fit comfortably. This can help shift your smile, often in as little as one year!
The Benefits for Your Daily Life
Benefits include a short treatment time when compared to braces, and fewer office visits too. They fit comfortably, and can be removed before you eat or prior to brushing and flossing, which adds ease to your daily life. They are nearly invisible when worn, which means no negative impacts on your professional appearance too. They are also easy to clean and care for each day. The treatment process involves wearing a set of orthodontics for about two weeks, 20 to 23 hours per day, and then doing the same with the next set in the series and repeating the process until you see optimal results.
