Orthodontics

There are multiple benefits of orthodontic treatment such as braces or aligners. Some of these top reasons may be to not only have a healthy smile, but also to create a better space for greater oral health. Some of the top reasons may be:

• Better occlusion for better chewing
• Better brushing abilities around crooked or crowded teeth
• Improved speech as the tongue’s movements against teeth aid in how you pronounce words
• Less risk to tooth injury by preventing teeth from being misaligned or sticking out
• Improved self esteem

Braces

The traditional method of moving teeth, braces allows the doctor to move teeth in a precise method that is subtle and “always on” method. Perhaps you never had them growing up and now is the opportune time to correct your smile or alignment. Braces are becoming more common amongst adults as color changes and capabilities to easily move teeth in a consistent manner is sometimes the preferred method between the doctor and patient.

Clear Correct Aligners

Have you been putting off getting your teeth straightened because you don’t want to wear traditional braces? Here at Carolina Dentistry and Dentures, we believe everyone deserves to have straight teeth, so we offer Invisalign® treatment for teens and adults who would prefer to make improvements without drawing attention to their smiles during treatment.

Clear Aligners are an excellent alternative to traditional braces. They offer a subtle straightening solution for those with orthodontic needs. They are made from BPA-free plastic that is soft and clear enough to be barely noticeable to onlookers. Though the plastic is comfortable in your mouth, it’s strong enough to form straight teeth by gently applying pressure over time.

Why Should I Choose Clear Aligners?

Here are a few reasons you may want to consider choosing clear aligners to straighten your teeth:

• Barely Noticeable – The changes to your teeth may be obvious, but the aligners won’t be. Many of your peers won’t even realize you are wearing clear braces.
• Easily Removable – You can take your aligners out any time you eat, brush, or floss! This means you have more freedom to enjoy all types of food during the straightening process. Just make sure you are committed to wearing clear aligners at least 20-22 hours a day. This is the amount of time required for your teeth to make the necessary movement.
• Completely Comfortable – Because clear aligners are made of soft plastic, your mouth and gums shouldn’t be irritated when you wear your clear braces.
• Easy Cleaning – Clear aligners are removable. It’s easy to clean them as well as your mouth. Your aligners are replaced every two weeks, which means they should be able to stay in great condition.

Our team will help you get started with clear aligners. We can even project how your results should appear once your treatment is finished! Call Carolina Dentistry and Dentures today to learn more or to set an appointment.
