Dental misalignment could lead to major oral health issues down the road, and could make you feel uncomfortable with your appearance. To help correct these concerns, we could provide braces. In today’s blog, your Rowlett, TX, dentist talks about helping smiles with our orthodontic braces, which can help take on more severe cases and provide even and beautiful smiles, so you can feel great when you smile and enjoy better oral health and bite function as a result.
The Risks of an Uneven Smile
Why should we consider treating our misalignment? When you have poor alignment, such as crowded, crooked, and overlapping teeth, this could provide places for food and drink particles to become trapped, increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Poor alignment could also upset bite balance, which then increases the risk of TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). You could also feel comfortable with your appearance, which impacts your social interactions and self-confidence. But our team can help, even if you have a severe case of misalignment with our orthodontic braces.
Treatment with Braces
Metal braces are a great way to address more severe cases of misalignment and offer a straighter smile. With traditional braces, we will attach metal brackets to the front of each tooth, and then connect a portion of thin arch wire to them with a band. Once this is done, we will adjust tension in the wire during periodic visits to help shift the teeth into proper position with time. We could also discuss lingual options, which we attach to the back of the teeth for less visible orthodontics, providing a more cosmetic approach to an even smile.
Six Month Smiles
What if we could straighten your smile in as little as six months? With Six Month Smiles, we can do just that! This option is for more minor cases, and is more focused on the visible teeth, so you obtain results in a shorter time frame. Our team could also discuss clear aligners, which use barely visible aligners instead of brackets and wires to shift your teeth. If you have any questions about the importance of treating misalignment or if you want to see which of our treatment options is right for you, then please reach out to our team today to learn more. You deserve an even smile and better oral health, and we can help, even if you assume your smile is too far gone for correction using orthodontics!
