An even smile not only looks great, but offers a person better oral health too. Which is why even in adulthood, you should consider treatment to address your crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth. For adults concerned about the appearance of braces, we have a cosmetic alternative. Our Lancaster, OH, dental team can offer cosmetic adult orthodontics, like Invisalign, ClearCorrect, or Six Month Smiles.
The Value of Treating Poor Alignment
When you have crooked, crowded, or overlapping teeth, this could mean serious impacts on the health and beauty of your smile. Poor alignment makes thorough brushing and flossing a more difficult process, which increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. The strain on your jaw joints due to the bite imbalance of misalignment means a greater risk of TMJ disorder and bruxism. You may also feel uncomfortable with your appearance, impacting your social life and overall quality of life. To avoid these complications and smile with confidence, you need to seek orthodontic treatment for your smile. We can offer a cosmetic approach with Invisalign®, ClearCorrect, and Six Month Smiles!
Choosing the Right Option for You
Both Invisalign® and ClearCorrect involves wearing a series of clear plastic aligners, which have been custom-made for your smile and design to be worn 20 to 22 hours a day on average, with each set begin worn for about two weeks each. The process is simple, and the orthodontics are easy to clean and use. For most, optimal results are possible in as little as one year, while even minor cases treated with braces require at least two years. Six Month Smiles also uses clear and custom plastic aligners, but this option is designed for more minor cases, such as situations in which someone’s teeth have shifted since they completed prior orthodontic treatment. Results are possible in only a matter of months!
Correcting Your Misalignment
We will provide detailed instructions or the use of your aligners, and also how to keep them clean. When worn, these will be practically invisible. You will need to see occasionally, but there are fewer visits than if you wore braces. These orthodontics are not only clear in appearance, but they’re comfortable and removable. Being removable means you have a much shorter time brushing and flossing, which improves your oral health. You also don’t have to make major changes to your diet, as you no longer have to worry about items being stuck in your orthodontics.
