A smile makeover can restore confidence in your smile. Those who are not completely satisfied with their smiles can take advantage of the many options available, one such option including teeth straightening. Dental professionals can offer these options thanks to innovations in dental technology. Now, it is easier than ever for you to make your smile look exactly how you want it to look.
Dental crowns, bonding tooth-colored fillings, dental veneers, and teeth whitening services are among the most popular smile makeover options. However, teeth straightening is one smile makeover option that contributes greatly to better oral health.
When teeth are straight and, therefore, in the correct position, the mouth functions better. Straight teeth allow for proper chewing and speaking and tend to be more protected from damage and wear and tear. In addition, proper alignment helps the teeth fit in the gums properly, contributing to the prevention of periodontal disease. Finally, when teeth are straight, they are easier to clean, resulting in less plaque buildup and less tooth decay.
According to the American Dental Association, an extraction means to have a tooth removed, usually because of disease, trauma, or crowding. When a patient chooses teeth straightening as part of their smile makeover plan, a dentist may advise extracting one more teeth. One common reason is overcrowding of the teeth. There may be too many teeth in the patient's mouth to allow for a well-aligned smile. By removing teeth, more space will be created in the mouth for teeth to align properly. Sometimes teeth need to be removed as part of efforts to correct a bite issue, such as an overbite. In some cases, a tooth is too weak and will not hold up against the constant pressure of braces. Therefore, a dentist may recommend extraction. Wisdom teeth are commonly extracted as part of smile makeover plans that involve teeth straightening.
