10 Dec How We Straighten Smiles With Orthodontics
When you have misalignment, such as crooked, crowded, or overlapping teeth, you need orthodontic treatment to straighten your smile and improve oral health. We have multiple options available, from braces to clear Invisalign ® aligners. Our team of prosthodontic experts in Fulton, MO, can offer a straighter smile and better oral health!
Braces
When you have a complex case of dental misalignment, then we may recommend a set of braces. This treatment can offer even smiles for complex cases in about two years. The process involves our team attaching metal brackets to the front facing sides of each tooth, and then connecting them with a portion of an arch wire connected by a band. When you attend periodic visits, we will adjust tension in the wire to begin shifting the teeth into proper position. You can choose colorful bands for clear ones.
Invisalign®
We also have a more cosmetic approach with Invisalign®. With this option, we don’t need brackets or wires. Instead, we will craft a series of clear and comfortable plastic aligners based on detailed images and measurements we take of your smile with digital technology. Each set is clear in appearance, and is worn for two weeks, 20 to 22 hours a day. Once you wear one set for two weeks, you then upgrade to the next set in the series. These are easy to clean and use, and are practically invisible too. The aligners are also removable, which makes eating easier and also simplifies brushing and flossing during treatment.
Retainers
For children too young for braces or aligners, or for adults with more minor misalignment or who have had teeth shift since they had braces removed, we could offer help with a set of retainers. This is an oral appliance custom-made for your smile, which can help shift the teeth and even guide the growth of the jaw to minimize alignment severity later in life.
