Clear Aligners in Lower Plenty

Crooked teeth may cause you to feel self-conscious; however, did you know that your misaligned teeth could be causing oral health concerns as well?

Teeth that are rotated, overlapped, or crooked may be harder to brush and floss properly, making keeping them clean problematic. When you can’t easily brush and floss away plaque buildup, it can increase your likelihood of developing problems like tooth decay or gum disease, which could result in more significant concerns.

A misaligned bite may also contribute to painful problems with your jaw joint (TMJ), making chewing and eating difficult or causing headaches or other pain that significantly impacts your quality of life.

The good news is that Invisalign clear aligners in Lower Plenty offer solutions for busy adults to straighten their teeth without the discomfort or hassle of wearing traditional metal brackets and wires on their teeth. 

Gain a Straighter Smile with Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are easy to use, comfortable to wear, and provide the utmost discretion, as no one will notice that you’re straightening your teeth when wearing them, and they don't interfere with talking or other daily activities. 

Most people can achieve a straighter smile in 12 to 18 months by consistently wearing their aligners for at least 22 hours daily. You can easily remove your aligners for meals, brushing, and flossing, making caring for your teeth during treatment easy since you won’t be navigating your brush and floss around brackets and wires. You also won't deal with the diet restrictions that accompany traditional braces. 

You’ll check in occasionally with your Lower Plenty dentist to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned, but you’ll be able to change your aligners out at home every one to three weeks and according to your treatment plan.
