If you have misalignment, we know this can impact your oral health and even lead to issues with airway obstruction. But that doesn’t mean you must undergo treatment with metal braces! Instead, we can help with clear aligners. At our orthodontic office in Mansfield, TX, we can provide even smiles with Invisalign®.
The Factor Behind Misalignment
Why do our teeth become misaligned? For some, this could be due to childhood factors, such as thumb sucking, or even the loss of baby teeth too early, which alters how permanent ones can erupt. For teens and adults, tooth loss could also cause negative changes to alignment, as teeth shift due to the gaps in the smile. When poor alignment occurs, this could limit the ability to thoroughly brush and floss, leading to higher risks of tooth decay and gum disease. The pressure on the jaw joints means the risk of TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding), and often, patients simply feel uncomfortable with the appearance of their smile. We can help with our custom Invisalign® aligners!
Creating Your Custom Cosmetic Orthodontics
The first step is to take a look at your smile with advanced imaging technology, so we can assess the cause and severity of your misalignment, and decide if clear orthodontics are right for you. If so, we will send images and measurements of your bite to a special lab where exports will use them to design and craft your aligners. Made from a BPA-free plastic material these will be clear in appearance and fit comfortably. Once your aligners arrive, you can start your journey to an even smile.
Invisalign® Aligners
The treatment process involves wearing a set of aligners for two weeks, 20 to 22 hours a day on average. You then begin wearing the next set for the same amount of time, repeating the process until you obtain an even smile which can take as little as one year for some patients. The aligners are easy to clean and use, and they can be removed before you eat or before you brush and floss, which makes your daily life much simpler.
