When your smile is out of alignment, you could be holding yourself back in your daily life. Professionally, you might be hesitant to speak up in important meetings, or maybe you are less confident in a job interview. Socially, we rely upon our first impressions with new friends, and your smile is important in this process. For many, the idea of traditional orthodontic enhancement seems like too much of a hassle to take on. Thankfully, there is a helpful solution that is available to you!

At Contemporary Dental in Bellaire, TX, we offer you a discreet solution alongside our traditional means of orthodontics. Clear aligner treatment uses custom oral trays that you wear throughout the day. Progressively, you will change these out with ones that are closer to your goal. These trays are nearly invisible, so they work throughout the day to improve your smile. Your alignment solution even works while you are sleeping to give you a more balanced and even mouth, which has benefits in both the medical and cosmetic arenas! (more…)

A beautiful smile relies on stable and proper alignment. This term refers to the orientation and location of the teeth and even if your individual structures are strong, imbalance can create issues. Overlapping can create areas that become difficult to thoroughly clean and when bacteria develop colonies with these hard-to-reach locations, cavities can develop. These microorganisms release harmful acids that can erode the surface of the tooth.

Others may have perfectly healthy teeth, but wish for a tidier appearance of their smile. Alignment treatment can be a fantastic way to improve your overall look while giving you a more comfortable bite. At Contemporary Dental & Orthodontics in Bellaire, TX, we have an array of ways to address misaligned smiles. Whether you are a teen looking to give yourself a solid oral health foundation or happen to be a little bit older, there is a treatment that fits your needs and can help you live your best alignment life!
