Misaligned teeth are not just an aesthetic concern but are also challenging to clean. Our teeth are designed to be perfectly aligned in symmetry. However, due to various factors, the teeth can become misaligned. Misaligned teeth do not allow proper cleaning and have higher chances of plaque accumulation. They can also alter the bite and pose functional problems. Traditionally, the correction of misaligned teeth was done with braces.
Clear aligners are the modern alternative to braces. They are clear, transparent plates that fit snugly onto the teeth. The plates exert mild pressure on the teeth to move them into their desired position. The plates are given in a set, which you have to wear sequentially as instructed to align the teeth. As the plates exert pressure, it causes remodelling changes in the bone, which helps in the teeth’ movement to their desired new position.
Clear aligners can be used for a variety of misaligned cases. However, it is essential to note that your teeth are in good condition before planning the alignment. It is crucial to complete your dental examination before planning clear aligners. Clear aligners are a popular choice among teenagers and office-going people. The aesthetics and the ability to keep your treatment away from the public eye make them popular. They are a good choice for those who have good oral hygiene.
The first and foremost step is to consult with our smile experts at Smile Concepts Andheri. This is an essential step in clarifying all your queries regarding the outcome. Our team will assess your current dental state clinically and radiologically. Our experts make a customized treatment plan based on the diagnosis. Depending on the severity of the misalignment, the number of hours you need to wear the plates will be decided. The total time of the treatment is also based on the initial state of misalignment. The plates are fabricated in a dental lab. You will be given a set of clear aligner plates. Wear the plates sequentially to gain optimum results. You should not skip any plates and wear them as our team prescribes.
With aligners, tooth aftercare is simple. Since the plates are removable, we can easily remove and clean them. Always store the plates in a case provided with them. Use a soft brush to clean the plates gently. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing regularly and flossing. Attend regular follow-ups with our team to monitor the progress of alignment. No diet restrictions exist; you must remove them while eating and drinking.
When you wear the plates, they exert mild pressure on your teeth. This pressure causes remodeling changes in the bone around the teeth. The tooth movement becomes easier at a young age as the bone is not hard enough. It is important to start the treatment as early as possible. As the movement happens, the bone surrounding the teeth starts to reorganize. This helps maintain the teeth in their new location. The time taken for the alignment depends on the severity of the initial misalignment.
Clear aligners work faster and are hassle-free than traditional braces because no wires are involved. After a thorough clinical examination of the case, our experts can predict the exact duration of your treatment.
