When you first wonder about fixing the spacing of your teeth, you may concentrate on how nice they will look in a straighter position. But did you know that correcting your dental misalignment improves their appearance by helping you prevent cavity formation and enamel erosion? When your teeth are straight, it becomes easier to access each surface when brushing and flossing. As your bite properly aligns, you reduce uneven wear and tear on your enamel which can give a yellow appearance. Seeking alternative treatment to bracket-and-wire braces with clear aligner therapy provides additional benefits as well. Because they are removable, clear aligners allow you to perform your oral hygiene routine without wires getting in your way. You also need not worry about decay-causing debris from your meals sticking to your appliance. Simply take them off when you sit down to eat.
