Answer Key
- True. Misalignment can develop as a result of problems during eruption (such as the shape/size of your mouth), tooth loss, injury to the face or jaw, premature loss of baby teeth, or wisdom tooth eruption. Part of your treatment will involve pinpointing the cause and severity of your misalignment.
- True. First, crooked or overlapping teeth can make brushing and flossing difficult, leading to a greater risk of tooth decay and gum disease. The strain misalignment places on the jaw joints can lead to a greater chance of TMJ disorder and/or bruxism developing.
- True. Instead of metal orthodontics, we can recommend a series of clear plastic aligners. Worn every day, the aligners will reposition your teeth to correct misalignment. Every two weeks you will upgrade to a new set, with a total treatment time of a year to 18 months, depending on the cause/severity of your alignment issues.
- True. The aligners are custom-made using plastic, ensuring they fit comfortably and don’t cause the same gum and cheek irritation common with metal orthodontics. In addition, patients enjoy the fact that when worn, they are barely noticeable. If you have any questions about our clear aligners, then please contact our office today.
