Do you have uneven smiles, and want to know more about our orthodontic clear aligners? We understand, and in today’s blog we want to offer some answers to common questions our patients have asked us in the past. Find out more about treating uneven smiles with orthodontic clear aligners from Dr. Robert M. Browne and our Prairie Village, KS, team!
Who Makes a Good Candidate?
When we look at someone’s smile, what are we looking for? Well, want to see if you have misalignment that can benefit from treatment. We also want to assess the cause and severity of your alignment concerns, so we can make sure that our clear aligners are right for you. We will conduct an examination with advanced digital imaging, so we can do so with precision and accuracy, and find out if you are a good candidate for orthodontic clear aligners! If so, we will move forward with creating your custom orthodontics.
How Do These Correct Uneven Smiles?
Our team will use the images and impressions we took of your bite using digital imagery to design and craft your aligners. Each set in the series will be made from BPA-free plastic, and they will be clear in appearance. When they are ready, you start the treatment process. Essentially, you will wear a set for a two-week period, usually about 20 to 23 hours a day, and then continue the process as you work through the entire set of them. This could offer an even smile in as little a year for some!
Will They Be Comfortable?
Yes! These will be custom-made to fit comfortably over your teeth and provide treatment with precision and less discomfort than other systems. There may be a little soreness initially as each set gently repositions your teeth closer to their potential position, but this is short-lived. We want a treatment process that strengthens your smile without making major changes to your daily routine, which makes this a preferred treatment option for teens and adults alike.
Will They Be Invisible?
Yes! Each set is clear in appearance, so that when they are worn, they are barely visible. Teens can feel more relaxed in school and social settings, and adults don’t have to worry about major changes to their professional appearance. If you have any questions about how we correct your misalignment, or about starting treatment with our clear and cozy plastic orthodontics, then contact our team today to learn more and get started!
