When you have dental misalignment, which includes crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth, this could impact the health and appearance of your smile! Orthodontic treatment can help shift your teeth into proper position and boost your smile, and we can do this without braces! Your Park Dental Arts in San Diego, CA, team is talking about clear aligners.
The Risks of Major Dental Misalignment
What risks do crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth pose for your smile? Dental misalignment makes thorough brushing and flossing a difficult process, which could increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. For others, the strain on your bite balance could leave you vulnerable to issues like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). You could also feel self-conscious about your appearance, which makes you avoid social interactions and harms your overall quality of life. But we can offer a clear and cosmetic route to a straighter smile with our custom aligners.
Creating Your Clear and Custom Aligners
To begin, we want to conduct a detailed examination of your smile to assess the cause and extent of our misalignment. If clear aligners are the right choice for you, then our team will take detailed digital images and measurements of your smile with a unique scanning device, so we can design and craft your orthodontics with precision and accuracy. Each set is made for your smile and crafted from a clear and BPA-free plastic material. When they are ready, you can start the treatment process!
What to Expect From the Treatment Process
Essentially, you will wear a set of aligners for about 20 to 22 hours a day on average, over a period of two weeks. You then start wearing the next set for a similar amount of time, and with each one your teeth and shifted closer and closer to their optimal positions. For some, an even smile is only a year away! The orthodontics will be easy to clean and store. You can also remove them before you eat so you don’t have to avoid certain foods, and being removable also means a much easier time brushing and flossing, so you can better care for your smile.
