Do you have a smile with crooked, crowded, or overlapping teeth? Dental misalignment can develop for a number of reasons, but without treatment this could have negative impacts on the health and beauty of your smile. While you may feel uncomfortable with the idea of metal braces, we could offer a more cosmetic alternative. Our Dallas, TX holistic dental practice could provide clear Invisalign® aligners!
Time to Treat Your Uneven Teeth
When you have dental misalignment, this could lead to concerns with your appearance. But your oral health suffers too! The fact is, uneven teeth make thorough brushing and flossing a difficult process, and could leave behind particles of sugar and starch. The result is a higher risk of tooth decay and even gum disease. The pressure on your jaw joints and the resulting imbalance could also lead to complications like TMJ disorder or even bruxism (teeth grinding). By finally addressing your uneven teeth, you can improve both the health and beauty of your smile. With Invisalign®, we can help straighten smiles in as little as a year in some cases.
Starting the Invisalign® Process
First, you should schedule a consultation with our team. We will talk to you about your smile and take detailed digital images of your teeth from multiple angles. With these images, we can assess the cause and extent of your misalignment, and decide if Invisalign® is right for you. If so, we can use the images to create impressions, so in a lab experts can design your custom plastic aligners. The technology can also offer virtual results, so we can show you what your smile will look like following treatment.
The Benefits of Clear Aligners
The treatment process is a simple one. We will provide you with the custom plastic aligners, each one clear and nearly-invisible when worn. You wear a set for an average of 20 to 22 hours a day, over the course of about two weeks. At that point, you begin wearing the next set and continue this process until you gain optimal results. The system requires less time than braces and fewer office visits too. You can also remove them before meals, so no fears about food being caught in your orthodontics, or about having to avoid certain items. Being removable also means you more easily brush and floss, protecting your smile during treatment.
If you have any questions about the Invisalign® system, then contact our team today.
