When your teeth are not properly spaced, the evidence of their improper alignment can make you self-conscious. One problem you may have is that your teeth are too far apart, leaving a visible space. At our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office, we can take care of this problem by recommending Invisalign treatment! Invisalign aligners are a welcome alternative to traditional orthodontic work for many reasons. One is that, simply put, your clear aligners will be easier to wear because they do not attract unwanted attention. Another is that you are free to remove them, which can prevent frustration around how you will eat and drink while you undergo corrective work.
Do You Feel Unhappy With Your Smile Because Of A Visible Gap Between Your Teeth?
A gap does not have to be large to attract unwanted attention. The presence of extra space between teeth can draw the notice of others simply because it stands out. You can also have other noticeable issues with poor alignment because of this spacing problem, and that can actually interfere with your oral health as well as your appearance. Fortunately, closing a gap can be easier than you anticipate, as we can discuss straightening your smile with Invisalign instead of metal braces.
Using Invisalign To Straighten Your Smile
Invisalign treatment works by gradually moving your teeth with a series of clear appliances. Each aligner that you are given is custom-made to fit your teeth, and to ensure that your corrective work is successful. These aligners are meant to be worn throughout the day; because it is difficult for others to see them, you will not have to worry about them attracting unwanted notice.
Invisalign can do more than just make you feel more attractive. When you improve your smile alignment, you can actually improve your bite function, something that can reduce stress and make daily pain and sensitivity less likely to occur. Lowering your risk for TMJ disorder can also protect you against teeth grinding issues.
What To Expect When You Begin Treatment
As you start to wear your Invisalign aligners, you can be relieved to see how effective they are at blending in and avoiding detection by others. You should keep them in place all day long to stay on track with when you expect to be done with your adjustment. However, you are able to remove them whenever you are about to clean your teeth, or when it is time for you to eat.
