Poorly aligned teeth can make you feel self-conscious and may also hamper how effectively your mouth functions when chewing your food or even when you are speaking. Crooked teeth also lead to more plaque and tarter build up, which can lead to gingivitis and bone disease – periodontitis. With today’s advanced technology, dentists can now use clear aligners to correct and straighten teeth that are out of alignment. Unlike braces and appliances from the past, you can remove these plastic trays for a few hours each day that will allow you to eat without fear of getting food stuck in your dental work. Dr. Christopher Naranjo provides SureSmile and Invisalign teeth straightening to patients in Austin, Texas.
Improves Your Smile
The SureSmile and Invisalign aligning trays gradually shift your teeth into their proper position. You will receive a specific number of trays that you will switch every two to three weeks. The aligners are clear and snap firmly onto your teeth. You can wear them everywhere and often go undetected by others. Your smile gradually begins to improve right before your eyes. With the aligners in place, you can take on any task you would typically perform. The aligners are clear and will remain in place until you remove them.
Establishes Better Function
When your teeth are correctly aligned, your mouth can perform the functions it was intended for. Teeth that are out of place can have an impact on how your jaws line up. When they don’t come together correctly, it can lead to pain and discomfort in the temporomandibular joints every time you try to chew your food. Over time, it may even cause damage to your teeth and gums. Misalignment can cause recession and can cause the tooth to wedge open, also known as abfractions. By using the SureSmile or Invisalign system, your teeth are guided back to a more natural position in which they can function perfectly. With your teeth properly aligned, less stress is placed on your jawbones and the muscles that support them. Less pressure means less pain and discomfort and an improvement in overall function and form.
Restores Self-Confidence
In the past, bulky metal braces did very little to improve self-confidence while they were worn. The SureSmile and Invisalign systems start improving your smile the first time you snap them on. By restoring your smile and making it easier to speak more effectively, you also restore your self-confidence. A straighter, brighter smile speaks volumes when it comes to the way you look. Many people who have crooked or damaged teeth will often put their hands over their mouths when they smile. With the SureSmile and Invisalign systems, they can smile knowing their teeth are as beautiful as they are.
