When you walk into the family Christmas party, everyone is going to see you. That means that if you are struggling with your smile due to misalignment, it can be a little tougher to say hello to everyone. The simple fact of the matter is that others do notice the quality of your smile. But it’s also important to remember that just because you weren’t born with a beautiful smile, it does not mean that you do not have options to improve it.
Here at Silk Dental Wellness in Waxahachie, Dr. Andy Chang, DDS helps people to find their way to a smile they love. Alignment issues are pretty frequent here in the United States, yet sometimes, patients avoid talking about theirs for a number of reasons. One common concern is that adults often do not want visible braces. Invisalign® clear aligner therapy works in a different way, helping you keep your process private the entire time. So, when you’re ready to reach a straighter smile, see whether clear aligners are right for you.

A Healthy Smile Depends On Balance
Did you know that your alignment can affect more than just your appearance? In order to keep your smile safe, you need to clean it with regular brushing and flossing. Unfortunately, in areas where teeth crowd or overlap, that could be more difficult than it needs to be. A toothbrush needs to be able to reach an area in order to scrub it, and the same holds true for your dental floss.
That means that if your alignment prevents you from brushing and flossing appropriately, bacterial buildup can start to occur. If left on the surface of your teeth or along your gumline, plaque calcifies into harder tartar (calculus). At that point, you can no longer remove it on your own.
Invisalign® Straightens Smiles In A Simpler Way
Sometimes, patients hesitate to bring up their alignment because they would prefer to avoid the visibility and discomfort of traditional braces. If this sounds like you, then talk to a neighborhood dentist about your situation. Because with Invisalign®, it’s easier to keep your process private.
With Invisalign® clear aligner therapy, patients can straighten their smile without the need for brackets and wires. While still using trusted orthodontic principles, clear aligners use a nearly invisible set of trays to do the work. See if it’s your next step at your biannual checkup.
