Have you been embarrassed to show off your smile because you feel people are paying too much attention to problems with spacing between your teeth? Problems with malocclusion affect many people, but they are often addressed in childhood, or during your teen years. However, you may have experienced problems with teeth shifting later in life, or you may have never undergone orthodontic treatment for smile gaps and overlaps. Our Virginia Beach, VA dentist can help you take care of your smile if you are embarrassed by poor spacing. To make your procedure discreet, and easier to fit into your daily life, we can recommend that you use Invisalign aligners to improve your smile. Invisalign treatment provides cosmetic improvements often gained by wearing metal braces, but they make your treatment process easier and less conspicuous.
Do You Have A Problem With Poorly Spaced Teeth?
If you have teeth that are too far apart or too close together, your smile symmetry can be negatively affected, and you can feel self-conscious about your appearance. By fixing these spacing problems, you can begin showing off a more attractive and confident smile. For those who want to address malocclusion but hope to avoid wearing metal braces, we can recommend that you start treatment with Invisalign appliances, which are both easy to remove and difficult to see.
Choosing Invisalign Over Traditional Braces
Patients who begin Invisalign treatment will receive a series of appliances, with each one taking them a step closer to completing their smile correction. These appliances are difficult to see when they are in place, as they are made from a clear plastic material that is difficult to notice. While you should keep them in place throughout the day to avoid delaying your corrective work, you can take them out when you brush and floss, or whenever you eat.
Reviewing Other Options For Cosmetic Treatment
Is it always necessary to address gaps and overlaps with orthodontic treatment of some kind? In some circumstances, another approach to cosmetic dental work can be effective. For example, we can use porcelain veneers to hide gaps or overlaps. Veneers are carefully designed to cover up a variety of dental flaws, including flaws that concern the shape or size of your teeth. In some cases, we can also recommend tooth bonding treatment to close gaps created by a tooth being too small.
