If you have misalignment then you should consider treatment. With the right steps, such as orthodontic clear aligners, our team can shift your teeth and offer an even smile! In today’s blog, Dr. Robert M. Browne talks about how we correct uneven smiles with orthodontic clear aligners, and how this can boost your oral health too.
Improving Your Oral Health
Obviously, correcting your uneven smile can help your appearance. But did you know this could help improve your oral health? By shifting your teeth to an even state, which helps lower the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, as your smile is easier to brush and floss. You also have an even smile that does not place pressure on your jaw joints, limiting the risk of complications like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding) as a result. You avoid the risk of damaged teeth, and negative changes to your appearance as a result.
Helping Your Appearance
If you have crooked, crowded, or overlapping teeth, this could be a source of embarrassment. You could feel uncomfortable with your appearance, and may even avoid social interactions. Your overall quality of life may suffer as a result! But we can help correct the appearance of your smile by shifting your teeth to their proper positions. By using clear aligners to do so, you also avoid the need for metal brackets and wires, so you maintain your professional appearance. This makes orthodontic clear aligners a preferable choice for many teens and adults!
Care with Clear Aligners
How does this treatment option help your smile? Well, we will take images of your smile from multiple angles with an intraoral camera, a process that is quick and comfortable. These images and easements then create a 3D impression of your bite, one more accurate than a physical impression. Experts can then design and craft a series of clear aligners from a clear and BPA-free plastic material.
When these are ready, you wear a set for a period of two weeks, 20 to 23 hours a day on average. You then begin wearing the next set in the series and continue the process as your smile is gently corrected, and optimal results take as little as one year to see. These are also removable, so mealtime and brushing and flossing is much simpler too. If you have any questions about how we improve the health, function, and beauty of your smile with custom clear aligners, then contact our team today to learn more and start the process!
