If you are thinking about orthodontic care to straighten your smile, Invisalign provides an alternative to traditional braces that you may prefer. If the idea of metal brackets and a wire on your teeth sounds too imposing, the translucent appearance of clear aligners can help you correct your grin with less of a visual impact. While the esthetic benefits of straighter teeth are certainly desirable, maintaining a beautiful smile during the process can be quite enticing.
At your Virginia Beach, VA dental practice, we are happy to help you tackle problems with the spacing of your teeth. Dental misalignment can lead to significant problems with your oral health, so orthodontic correction is more than simply cosmetic. By learning the differences between your various appliance options, you can select a treatment that best serves your smile goals!
The Benefits Of Straighter Teeth
Issues with the alignment of your smile can quickly degrade your oral health. One of the reasons is that when your smile is aligned properly, each tooth evenly distributes the force of your bite. As your teeth become crooked or fail to touch one another, certain teeth take a disproportionate amount of force and can begin to wear down. Losing your outer enamel exposes the inner sensitive material, leaving you more susceptible to tooth decay and infection. This means that aligning your smile helps you prevent damage that would further worsen your appearance in addition to your health. You will also find that straighter teeth are far easier to clean, allowing you to fight tooth decay even more.
Choosing Treatment With Invisalign Clear Aligners
When you visit our practice, we can examine your smile to see if you are a candidate for clear aligner treatment. We will take extensive images of your smile from multiple angles to create a digital impression. This allows you to avoid the messy goo of a physical model. Using advanced software, we can show you how your smile will look after you complete your aligner treatment. Moving forward, we will send your model to a lab where technicians will create your aligner trays.
When your trays are ready, you will wear them throughout your day, taking them off to enjoy food and clean your teeth. As you move from tray to tray, your teeth pull gradually into position until your treatment is complete.
