American Dental Association declared that straight teeth are essential for your overall well-being. It improves oral hygiene as it is difficult to clean misaligned teeth. It also impacts the condition of your face, body, and mind. But you need not worry if you don’t have straight teeth due to dental problems like crooked teeth, dental erosion, etc.
There are 3 main methods of teeth straightening treatment that can help you improve your smile. Let’s take a look at them.
Dental braces treat crooked teeth by aligning them through gradual pressure. You need to wear strategically placed braces for 18 months to 2 years. This duration can vary according to the severity of every patient’s dental problem. The type of braces you choose also affects the time duration of the treatment.
There are different kinds of braces available such as ceramic, lingual, Damon, and metal. Your dentist can recommend the type of braces suitable for your treatment.
Teeth Straightening With Aligners
Aligners also put gradual pressure on your teeth to move them in the correct position. They are super convenient to wear. They are made up of soft transparent material. Therefore they are almost invisible to others. They don’t make you cautious while talking and smiling. You can remove the aligner tray while eating your meal. You can wear them back after cleaning your teeth post-meal.
But it is important to keep wearing aligners for at least 20-22 hours a day. There are 2 types of aligners – Clear Correct and Invisalign.
Teeth Straightening With Retainers
Retainers are mainly prescribed as an after-care of teeth straightening treatment. Dentists advise wearing retainers overnight. This is to ensure that the repositioned teeth don’t come back to their previous position. Although, retainers alone can also treat some minor dental problems and misalignments.
Wrapping Up!
The information mentioned above can provide you basic knowledge about the teeth straightening options. But only a qualified dentist or orthodontist can recommend a suitable method for your treatment. So don’t ignore crooked or misaligned teeth. Get rid of your dental problems with the help of trusted health care professional. Keep Smiling wide and bright!
