Why Teeth Straightening
As we’ve mentioned before, the main reason everyone wants their teeth straightened is to get that gorgeous smile and feel confident. However, a lot of orthodontic treatments can improve a person’s bite, fix the gaps, reduce tooth wear, and improve overall dental health.
If you are facing any oral problem, then it makes sense to go to an orthodontist at your earliest. Dental solutions are more accessible and reliable today than ever.
4 Ways to Get Your Teeth Straightened
1. Metal braces
The most common and cheap way for teeth straightening is the traditional metal braces. These braces are suitable for everyone, including kids, teens, and adults, particularly anyone with a tight budget.
In this treatment, small brackets of metals are attached to your teeth, which are connected with a thin wire. This wire is adjusted or changed after periodic intervals to straighten your teeth naturally and slowly. This is an age-old effective, and reliable treatment. Modern advancement has considerably reduced the size and increased the comfort of these braces.
2. Ceramic braces
Ceramic braces are pretty similar to the metal braces except for their clear appearance. They produce the same result at the same time as a metal brace would.
They are less noticeable because you can opt for tooth-colored braces, clear brackets, and optional tooth-colored wire. Because of their less obvious appearance, they are a much more popular option among adults and older teens.
3. Lingual (inside) Braces
These advanced braces are truly invisible. They are discreetly attached to the back of the teeth instead of the front, completely hidden from view. However, since these braces are closer to the tongue, it takes some time to get used to them.
Many family orthodontics offer the service of inside braces like incognito braces, which are suitable for all age groups. These braces are 100% personalized according to each individual’s teeth contour, ensuring as much effectiveness and comfort as possible. These braces also allow people to go about their daily routine life without feeling self-conscious and worrying that their braces are visible.
4. Clear Aligners
A clear plastic aligner is another effective way to straighten your teeth without wearing the metal braces. They are an invisible solution to fixed braces. However, they are much more suited for less severe position-correction problems. Family orthodontics like the NYC Dental Orthodontics, uses Invisalign® to correct teeth crowding, gap fixing, and other orthodontic conditions.
These aligners are removable, but if removed too often or for longer periods, treatment is not much effective.
Ways to Straighten Teeth Without Braces
There are conditions in which you may require orthodontic treatment that doesn’t necessarily force you to wear braces.
Problems That Are Correctable without Braces:
- Limited overcrowding: This condition occurs when your teeth are only slightly crooked. Retainers and aligners can easily solve this problem.
- Malocclusion: You can check if you have malocclusion by looking at your teeth as you close your mouth. If you see a misalignment or incorrect relation between both the arches as they approach each other, then you have a malocclusion. Correction of this may require appliances to adjust to the position of your jaw.
- Underdeveloped palate: A narrow upper jaw or an underdeveloped palate can damage your teeth. A professional dentist can widen your palate with the help of expanders that will create the space your teeth need for position correction.
While there are alternative treatments available, if you are seriously looking to shape your smile into a perfect one without braces, then it is better to discuss your options by making an appointment with your local orthodontics. Whichever method you end up choosing with your dentist, be sure to maintain strict oral hygiene to ensure that your teeth remain strong and healthy.
