How Do Aligners Fix Poor Alignment?

If you have poor alignment, then your crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth could lead to major trouble for your smile. Which is why we offer orthodontics to help correct the issue and improve your smile! In today’s blog, Dr. Robert M. Browne talks about how aligners fix poor alignment for smiles in Prairie Village, KS.

The Need to Fix Poor Alignment

Dental misalignment could obviously have serious impacts on the appearance of your smile, and could make you feel self-conscious. This is reason enough to tackle your misalignment with our orthodontic clear aligners. But! Fixing poor alignment also improves your oral health and bite function too. With even teeth, brushing and flossing is easier, and the risk of tooth decay and infection is much lower. You also have a lowered risk of associated complications like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). Fixing poor alignment with our aligners could offer a smile you have dreamed of, with a process that is practically invisible.

Creating Custom Orthodontics

Fixing your poor alignment with aligners starts with our team gathering digital images of your smile from multiple angles with an intraoral camera. This only takes a few minutes and we them=n combine these to create a 3D impression of your bite, one far more accurate and convenient than a traditional physical mold. We send this to experts in a dental lab setting, who will use the impressions and images to design and craft a series of aligners from a BPA-free plastic material, one completely clear in appearance!

Treatment with Clear Aligners

To fix poor alignment with aligners, you need to wear your orthodontics daily. Each day, wear a set from the series of aligners for about 20 to 23 hours. You do so for two weeks and then start wearing the next in the series, repeating the process as your smile is gradually and gently repositioned and corrected. Optimal results could take a year, and in the meantime, you can remove them before you eat or prior to special occasions, and even before you brush and floss so you can better care for your smile!
