Can Clear Aligners Improve Your Smile?

Poor smile alignment can cause problems with spacing that draw unwanted attention. This issue, also known as malocclusion, can also hurt your overall appearance by giving your smile an asymmetrical quality. At our Bellaire, TX dentist’s office, we offer different services for patients who want to make cosmetic changes. One option available to you is treatment with clear aligners, which can gradually move teeth into better positions. These appliances can help with more than just the way you look. Through orthodontic treatment, you can also improve your bite function and make dental hygiene efforts easier!

Using Clear Orthodontic Appliances To Address Malocclusion

Malocclusion can leave you with a smile that appears crooked or uneven, and it can create spacing issues that attract unwanted attention. What you can do about these issues can vary. For many people, clear aligners will prove to be an effective form of treatment. If you qualify for this approach, you can rely on a series of appliances that are easy to remove and hard to see, making your experience with orthodontic work easier. Over time, your aligners will gradually move teeth into better positions, which can give you both cosmetic and oral health benefits!

What To Expect As You Begin Your Treatment

We will take the time to closely evaluate your smile and oral structures before treatment. By doing so, we will be able to provide a series of clear aligners that are ready to address your individual issues with malocclusion. To stay on track with your treatment goals, it is important that you keep your clear aligners in place throughout each day, though you can take them out when you eat or clean your teeth. This approach requires fewer appointments than traditional metal braces, and there will not be a need for manual adjustments.

What Else Can I Do To Address Gaps Or Overlaps Between Teeth?

Some patients can explore other options for treatment to hide gaps or overlaps between their teeth. We can discuss treatment with porcelain veneers to hide these and other flaws. Veneers are custom shells that cover the front surfaces of teeth. With this conservative amount of coverage, we can hide problems with poor spacing as well as dental discoloration, enamel damage, and problems with tooth shape and size. Because you can see so many changes with one procedure, you can enjoy a dramatic smile makeover in as little as two appointments!
