Unlike what many people think, straightening teeth is not just about having a great, pearly white smile but also about ensuring your overall health and well-being. With the advancement in orthodontic treatment, technology and expertise as provided by Brite Dental you now have the option to enjoy straight teeth within a very short duration like 6 months or at an affordable cost but over a longer period.

Why Should You Straighten Your Teeth?

If you’ve got gaps in your teeth, an overbite, underbite, crooked teeth, deep bite, crowded teeth or any other type of misaligned teeth, you may want to consider straightening your teeth. Crowded teeth can cause difficulty in brushing and flossing your teeth, leading to plaque build-up, which can eventually result in tooth decay. Also, a wide gap between your teeth can cause red and swollen gums that can lead to periodontal disease. Straightening your teeth ensures that your gum fits nicely around your teeth, creating a good defence against any type of periodontal disease.

Benefits Of Straight Teeth

 

 

Having straighter teeth comes with many advantages. When teeth are well aligned, it helps the gums fit more securely around the teeth, allowing a stronger defence thus, lessening the risks of acquiring various serious diseases or health issues. One of the major benefits associated with orthodontic treatment is the overall improvement in your appearance. A straighter smile can give you a more youthful appearance and help you gain self-confidence. Chewing your food and cleaning your teeth will also become easier.

Various Teeth Straightening Solutions

Metal braces, which mainly comprise of wire and brackets is the traditional teeth straightening solution. More advanced options are Six Month Smiles, Inman Aligners and Invisalign Clear braces.

Choosing The Best Teeth Straightening Solution

To choose the best solution for you, some of the key things to consider are pricing, visibility and duration of dental treatment. Metal braces are generally the cheaper option but it will be clear to all that you’re wearing braces since they are made of stainless steel and other metal components.

For a more discrete option, you can opt for braces that have brackets the colour of your teeth.
If it is just your front teeth that need to be aligned and you would like this done quickly then our Inman Aligner may be for you. This is a simple removable appliance that can fix your teeth straightening issue in a matter of weeks.

However, if you are looking for a non- invasive approach to transform your smile, then Invisalign could be your solution. Invisalign refers to a clear kind of brace that is easily removable for eating, flossing, drinking and brushing your teeth purposes. It is the best option if you desire complete invisibility of your braces and a truly short dental treatment that ranges from 6 to 12 months. Also, you enjoy comfort – there are no wires, no brackets and other fixed components to make you feel conscious of wearing braces or uncomfortable while talking.
