Do you have crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth? If so, then we could help you enjoy relief with clear aligners! Instead of braces, we have removable and practically invisible alternatives. In today’s blog, your Lake Orion, MI, dentist talks about a clear solution to even smiles with SureSmile orthodontics.
The Risks of Dental Misalignment
Why should you consider treatment for your uneven teeth? When you have misalignment, this could obviously impact your appearance and make you feel self-conscious, you could even avoid social interactions, which harms your overall quality of life. Poor alignment also means a harder time brushing and flossing, so the overall risk of tooth decay and even gum disease will increase. You could also be more susceptible to issues like TMJ disorder and chronic teeth grinding (bruxism), due to the imbalance in your bite and the strain on your jaw joints caused by misalignment.
With our SureSmile clear aligners, we can correct uneven teeth and then improve your oral health in the process!
Creating SureSmile Orthodontics
How do we start the process? First, we want to examine your smile and assess the cause of your misalignment, and to find out if this is the best option for you. If so, then our team will take detailed digital images of your smile from multiple angles with an intraoral camera, creating a 3D impression far more accurate than a physical mold, and more convenient and comfortable too!
Our team will then send the information to experts who will create a series of aligners in a lab setting. Once these custom aligners are ready, you can start your clear treatment process!
Your Clear Orthodontics
The treatment process is simple and convenient. You will wear a set of plastic aligners for about 20 to 23 hours a day, over the course of around two weeks. You repeat this with each set from the series until you see optimal results, which could take about a year. This is shorter than braces require! They are also clear in appearance and practically invisible and fit comfortably since they are custom-made for your smile.
They are also removable, which means you can take them out for meals and prior to brushing and flossing for added convenience. If you have any questions about how we treat poor alignment, or about starting the clear aligner system now before the holidays arrive, then reach out to our team today. We want to help you start care and use your remaining 2025 dental benefits before they expire!
