If you have smiles that need straightening, we can help. Instead of just using metal braces, we could correct crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth with clear aligners. In today’s blog, your team at Celina Family Dentistry in Celina, TX, discuss how we straighten smiles with clear aligners.
The Causes and Impacts of Poor Alignment
How do we end up with uneven teeth? Poor alignment could be due to issues with the growth of your smile and how your teeth erupted. If you lose baby teeth too early, this could impact how permanent teeth arrive. Losing your teeth as a teen or an adult could also cause teeth to drift due to the open gap, creating poor alignment. The eruption of your wisdom teeth could be a factor too. As you can see, the factors vary, but once you have poor alignment, serious complications arise.
You could have trouble thoroughly brushing and flossing your teeth, so your smile is more vulnerable to tooth decay and gum disease. There could be stress on your bite, which creates TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). You could also feel uncomfortable in social situations, but we can help, straightening your smile with clear aligners.
Help with Clear Orthodontics
Our team could offer straighter smiles with clear aligners. No need for metal brackets or wires, instead we will gently reposition your teeth with a series of custom and cozy plastic aligners, all clear in appearance. To create them, we will take detailed digital images and measurements of your teeth with a special camera at the end of a thin wand. We combine these to create a 3D impression, one far more convenient and accurate than a physical mold. In a lab setting, experts will use these to design and craft a series of custom plastic aligners, all made for your smile!
Your Clear Orthodontic System
When your clear aligners are ready, you can start the treatment process and straighten your smile. You will wear a set from the series for about two weeks, usually between 20 and 23 hours per day. Over time, this gently and gradually shifts your teeth and strengthens your smile. During this time, you can remove them before you eat or even prior or special occasions or when you brush and floss for added convenience. If you have any questions about how we straighten smiles with clear aligners, then contact our team today to learn more.
