Having an improperly aligned smile is among one of the most common concerns that patients have with their smiles. Although traditional metal braces are an available option for patients, this may not be a preferred option because the brackets and wires are highly obvious to others and may be uncomfortable. Your team at Mansfield Dental in Mansfield, TX, offers clear aligners that can help discreetly correct the spacing issues in your smile.
Discreet Alternative To Braces
One of the most popular reasons patients choose clear aligners over braces is because they are a more discreet option. Instead of using metal brackets and wires to gradually shift your teeth into place, these invisible trays fit snuggly to your teeth and shift them into place. This may be a preferable option for older teenage or adult patients who need orthodontic treatment. In addition to being more discreet, many patients find this to be a more comfortable option because they are removable. Unlike braces, you won’t have to avoid certain foods or worry about uncomfortable brackets irritating your gums. These clear trays fit snuggly to your teeth and can be removed before eating or brushing your teeth.
Address A Range Of Orthodontic Concerns
Before getting started with this treatment, you will need a consultation with your dentist to determine if you are a good candidate. Like traditional braces, this treatment option can help address a range of orthodontic concerns including spacing issues, improper bite, and more. After being approved for this method, your dentist will take measurements of your smile to create the custom series of trays. You will wear your aligners every day, removing them only before eating or doing your oral hygiene routine. It’s important that you wear your trays for the majority of the day in order for this process to be the most effective. This process can take around one to two years, depending on the severity of your misalignment.
Cosmetic Treatments That Can Improve Your Smile
Do you have other concerns with the appearance of your smile? Our team offers several other cosmetic treatments that can help improve your look. For instance, many patients are self-conscious due to discoloration and stains on their teeth. We can help you remove these stains with a professional whitening treatment in our office or at home. If you have stubborn stains that cannot be removed, we also offer cosmetic bonding or veneers. Cosmetic bonding is a noninvasive option that uses composite resin to hide blemishes and intrinsic discoloration. Veneers are a more invasive option that use porcelain veneers to upgrade your smile. You can discuss these options with your dentist to determine the best one for your needs.
