If you have uneven teeth, you need an orthodontic solution. We can provide a clear and cozy option with cosmetic dentistry. Invisalign® means a path to an even smile with comfort! In today’s blog, the team at Smith Family Dentistry talks about cosmetic orthodontics with Invisalign®.
The Causes of Poor Alignment (and Why You Need Treatment)
You could develop dental misalignment due to premature loss of baby teeth, or if baby teeth do not fall out on time, which impacts how your permanent teeth arrive. Issues with the growth of your jaw or eruption of your teeth, including the arrival of your wisdom teeth, could also lead to poor alignment. When you have an uneven smile, thoroughly brushing and flossing is difficult, so your smile is at a greater risk of tooth decay and gum disease. You could also have strain on your bite that boosts the risk of issues like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). You may also feel uncomfortable in social situations, which could lead to issues with quality of life. But we can offer a clear and comfortable treatment solution with Invisalign®.
The Invisalign® System
How does Invisalign® work? Instead of metal brackets and wires, we will use a series of clear aligners that fit over the teeth, each set in the series custom made for your bite. To start the process, we will examine your smile to assess the cause and severity of your misalignment. If these clear aligners are right for you, then we will take detailed images of your bite from multiple angles with an intraoral camera, and use these to create a 3D impression of your bite. Experts will then use the information we gathered to design and craft your custom aligners from a BPA-free plastic material that is clear in appearance, and which will fit comfortably in your smile.
A Comfortable Treatment Option
Treatment involves wearing a set of your new aligners for about two weeks, 20 to 23 hours a day on average. You can remove them before you eat, and before you brush and floss. As long as you wear them for the amount of time we recommend, you can also take them out for special occasions, such as graduation, first date, or a job interview.
