3 Ways Your Dentist Can Straighten Your Teeth
by Shishir Chakma Digital Marketer and SEO ExpertsMany people who opt to have cosmetic dentist
in Los Angeles procedures done have one main thing they are
trying to achieve -- straighter teeth. Though some of us are naturally born
with straight teeth, others have to undergo braces or other straightening
procedures like Invisalign to obtain desired results. And many times, once the
braces are off, people don't wear their retainers long enough to maintain their
straighter smile. While dentists and orthodontists suggest that patients should
wear their retainers for the rest of their life, this is rarely done because
after a while the patient often loses, breaks, or simply stops wearing the
retainers.
Luckily, braces aren't the only way that people can
straighten their teeth today. Modern advances in cosmetic dentistry have
yielded much simpler, quicker, and more comfortable methods. Invisalign,
veneers, and reshaping all allow you to achieve a straighter smile.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a revolutionary 21st century method of
straightening teeth. Instead of harshly visible and uncomfortable metal braces,
Invisalign manages to straighten teeth subtly with a series of nearly invisible
plastic trays. These trays, called aligners, are custom made to fit your teeth
and mouth and gradually shift your teeth over time.
At an initial consultation with a dentist or orthodontist,
they'll make impressions of your teeth, take pictures, and then work with a 3-D
image. The dentist will be able to plan the movement of your teeth throughout
the entire treatment, and you'll be able to see a virtual representation of
your teeth before and after the process. Custom sets of aligners are then made
for you to wear, and at periodic check-ups the dentist will monitor your progress
and keep giving you knew sets of aligners that fit your teeth as they move.
Invisalign is an inconspicuous, convenient, more comfortable
way to get the straight smile you've always dreamed of having. The clear, thin
aligners are also removable, so eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth is so
much easier than with braces.
Veneers
Veneers are a great method dentist use to correct
discolored, chipped, broken, or crooked teeth. They can also cover up gaps
between teeth. Made of porcelain, these thin shells are custom-made to fit over
your existing teeth once a thin layer has been taken off the teeth. Veneers are
very durable and can last for many years. They also look very natural, and hold
up to stains quite well.
Contouring And Reshaping
Tooth contouring or reshaping is another method dentist use
to correct minor imperfections. Crooked, cracked, chipped, and overlapping
teeth can easily be straightened by simply shaving off a few millimeters of
your teeth or adding a few millimeters of tooth-colored laminate. This
procedure is often used to change the length, shape, or position of someone's
teeth, and is virtually painless. Dental contouring is ideal for people who
have healthy teeth, and just need a dentist to make some minor adjustments or
repairs to achieve a perfect smile.
With Invisalign, veneers, and tooth contouring, people have
more options today than ever before when it comes to getting a straight and
beautiful smile.
