Do you have dental misalignment? If so, then you need treatment to enjoy an even smile and avoid long-term oral health complications. Fortunately, we can help and do so with a cosmetic approach! In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about clear orthodontic treatment.
The Causes and Risks of Dental Misalignment
If you have uneven teeth, then you need to seek treatment to correct your misalignment. Otherwise, your oral health can suffer! Poor alignment can make it difficult to brush and floss thoroughly, which results in a higher risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Your alignment concerns could also lead to complications like TMJ disorder and bruxism, which leads to further discomfort in your smile and even damaged teeth. You could also feel uncomfortable with your appearance, and this could impact social situations. Our team can help, and not only that, we offer an alternative to braces, one that is practically invisible!
Treatment with a Cosmetic Option
Instead of relying solely on metal braces to correct your uneven smile, our team can help with orthodontic clear aligners. These are a series of aligners that each worn for a two-week period, usually about 20 to 23 hours a day on average. When worn as prescribed, they can help shift your teeth and correct your misalignment, often in as little as one year. In comparison, braces could take as long as two years! They are also removable, so you can take them out before you eat, no need to alter your diet and avoid certain foods. This removable nature means an easier time brushing and flossing too!
Clear Aligners
To ensure a proper fit and a barely visible appearance, our team will custom-make your aligners. To get started, we will take images of your smile with an intraoral camera, a fast and comfortable process that enables us to gather high-definition pictures of your smile from multiple angles. Once we do, experts will use the images to design and craft your custom aligners from a BPA-free plastic material, one that is also completely clear. You then start treatment and begin your journey to an even smile.
If you have any questions about how we correct your uneven smile with orthodontic clear aligners, or if you want to use your 2025 dental benefits before they expire at the end of the year, then reach out to our team to learn more!
