When you have poor alignment, your crooked and crowded teeth could have a negative impact on your appearance and even the overall health of your smile. But we can help with a series of clear and custom aligners, which are nearly invisible in appearance. At your Farmington, MI, dental office, we’re ready to make big changes with clear aligners and help you smile without hesitation!
The Impact of Dental Misalignment
How does having an uneven smile impact your oral health? When misaligned, thorough brushing and flossing is a more difficult process, and food and drink particles could remain trapped for harmful bacteria to consume, which increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. The pressure on your jaw joints due to bite imbalance could also make the onset of TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding) more likely. You could also have an increased risk of teeth stains and bad breath, not to mention feeling uncomfortable with the appearance of your smile. But we can offer a cosmetic solution with clear aligners!
Starting Care with Clear Aligners
To begin, we will examine your smile to assess the cause and extent of your misalignment, ensuring we can choose the right orthodontic treatment. If clear orthodontics are right for you, then we will take detailed digital images of your smile from multiple angles and use these images and measurements to design and craft a series of aligners. We want to ensure treatment with precision and accuracy, and the clear appearance means they will be practically invisible!
Correcting Your Uneven Smile
When your orthodontics are ready, you will wear a set for 20 to 22 hours a day on average, and then after about two weeks, start wearing the next set in the series. This will gradually and gently correct your smile, and optimal results could be possible in as little as one year. The removable nature means no need to alert your diet or avoid certain foods. Being removable also makes brushing and flossing much easier, so you can enjoy better oral health during the treatment process. You also have fewer office visits and can take them out for special occasions.
