Instead of traditional metal braces, we’re proud to offer smile correction using a series of clear orthodontic aligners. That’s right, no metal brackets or wires at all! In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about the benefits of treating your misalignment with our clear and comfortable aligners!
When Do You Need Orthodontics?
We recommend people with crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth seek treatment with our clear orthodontic aligners. Treating your misalignment not only improves the overall beauty of your smile, but this can also improve the balance and function of your bite. An even smile is one that is easier to brush and floss, so the risk of tooth decay and gum disease is lowered. Even smiles are also less likely to develop issues like TMJ disorder and bruxism, (teeth grinding). An even smile is a healthier one, so talk to our team about treatment with a cosmetic approach.
Creating Our Clear Aligners
To ensure you obtain treatment with precision and comfort, we will custom-make each aligner set we provide. We take detailed digital images and measurements of your smile from multiple angles. We then use these in a lab setting to design and fabricate your custom orthodontics. Each set is clear in appearance and will fit comfortably, offering an even smile in as little as one year for some patients.
The Benefits of Our Clear Orthodontic Aligners
Our clear orthodontic aligners offer a number of benefits over traditional braces. First, they don’t require metal brackets or wires. You simply wear a set of aligners for about 20 to 23 hours a day over a period of about two weeks, and then you move on to the next set in the series. The system corrects smiles in a shorter time frame than braces, and often requires fewer office visits. These aligners are removable, which means you can take them out before meal time instead of avoiding certain foods. Being removable also means you have a much easier time brushing and flossing, so you can protect your smile from cavities, teeth stains, and periodontal concerns during treatment. You can also take them out for special occasions, like first dates, job interviews, or special events.
