What complaint do you have with the appearance of your smile? For many people, they may be frustrated with stains on the surface of their teeth, uneven gums, or having spacing issues between their teeth. If your smile is not properly aligned, the team at Greenview Family Dentistry in Rochester, MN, can help correct this with clear aligners. In today’s blog we’re here to talk about how this process works.
Talk To Your Dentist About This Option
Like all cosmetic treatments, you will first need a consultation with your dentist to find out if you are a good candidate for this method. Your dentist will thoroughly examine your smile and assess the severity of your misalignment. Clear aligners may be a great solution for teenage or adult patients experiencing mild to moderate spacing concerns. If you have more significant issues, like a poor bite or jaw problems, your dentist may recommend other orthodontic solutions. If you are approved for clear aligners, they will be custom created based on an impression taken of your oral cavity. This method may be more convenient and comfortable than traditional metal braces.
Wear Your Aligners Everyday For Best Results
Your clear aligners can gradually shift your teeth into the correct position by using a series of aligners that apply pressure to move your teeth. Your dentist will tell you when to move on to the next set of trays in the series. You can wear these all day long and while you sleep, removing them only during meals or to brush your teeth. It’s important that you take them out to clean each night to ensure they are well maintained. You should take them out before you eat to avoid damaging them. Remember to wear them for the majority of the day for the most effective results. Not wearing them for long enough each day can result in treatment being prolonged.
Use Other Cosmetic Services To Boost Your Look
We offer several cosmetic services that can help improve your appearance and give you a boost of confidence. In addition to clear trays to straighten your smile, we also offer treatments such as teeth-whitening and porcelain veneers. Professional teeth whitening can be used to remove discoloration from the surface of your pearly whites. This may be beneficial for patients who have stains on their teeth caused by food, beverages, or smoking cigarettes. Porcelain veneers can help correct several types of imperfections including small gaps, blemishes, and unevenly shaped teeth. These cosmetic services can help you look and feel your best.
