When you have crooked, crowded, or overlapping teeth, then you should consider orthodontic treatment. Whether your misalignment is minor or severe, this can help your smile. Poor alignment can increase the risk of tooth decay and infection, and also impact the balance of your bite so you are more vulnerable to TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). You can also feel more confident in your appearance and in social situations with misalignment treatment. If you have poor alignment, then talk to our team about help with our orthodontic clear aligners.
Our team starts with an initial exam, so we can assess the cause and severity of your misalignment. If we find that clear braces are right for you, then we will take detailed digital images of your bite with an intraoral camera, which can gather these images from multiple angles with precision and comfort. We then combine these to create detailed 3D models of your smile. Experts will use the impression and measurements to design and craft a series of aligners, of which are made specifically for your smile.
The treatment process involves wearing a set for 20 to 23 hours a day, over a period of about two weeks. You then repeat the process with each subsequent series, gradually correcting your smile and offering better oral health and bite function.
With an even smile, you have an easier time brushing and flossing, which can lower the risk of tooth decay and infection, as well as gingivitis and gum disease. This also restores balance to your bite and prevents jaw joint strain, so the risk of teeth grinding and TMJ symptoms are lowered too. You also feel better showing off your smile, and can enjoy a better quality of life. At the same time, these are easy to remove before meals or special occasions too!
