Straightening your teeth as an adult can seem like a big decision. However, having crooked or misaligned teeth is more than a cosmetic problem. It impacts your oral health and function, too! So, if you’re on the fence about pursuing orthodontics, we wanted to share some benefits you can expect during and after treatment.

Benefits of Clear Aligner Treatment

At Skyview Dental, we offer SureSmile clear aligners to our patients. It’s a fantastic way of getting straight teeth without anyone noticing. In addition, you can expect many other benefits during treatment, such as:

• Removable Aligners – Take off your aligners to brush your teeth, floss, or eat a meal. 
• Comfortable Adjustments – When it’s time, you’ll move on to the next set of aligners. That easy!
• Easy to Clean – You can easily clean your aligners with a gentle soap and toothbrush. No fancy brushing techniques are required!
• Faster Results –  Treatment takes about 12 to 18 months for patients—far less time than if you pursued traditional braces.

Wondering if this treatment is right for you? Call 509-707-8696 to schedule a consultation.

The Unique Perks of Straightening Your Teeth

Once your treatment is complete, you can expect many benefits beyond aesthetic appeal:

• Having straight teeth will give bacteria fewer places to hide.

When your teeth overlap, bacteria and food particles can sneak in between the teeth and cause problems. If your teeth are gapped, that gives even more places for bacteria and particles to create oral health issues. Straight teeth that are correctly aligned are healthier. Taking care of your smile and enjoying good oral health is easier, too.

• You will experience less jaw pain.

If you struggle with a TMJ disorder, you’ll experience much-needed relief from your jaw pain. Straight teeth align properly, which puts less pressure on your jaw. As a result, it allows your jaw to heal and helps put a stop to this painful problem.

• There is less wear and tear on your teeth.

If you have uneven or misaligned teeth, you may experience more dental damage than straight teeth. Now, with your even smile, your teeth have less wear and tear. Plus, chewing your food is easier, too!

• You have less risk of dental damage.

Crooked teeth are at greater risk for damage since they don’t aligner properly. When you complete treatment, you’ll reduce your chance of injury. As a result, you’ll save money by avoiding restorative treatments!

• You’ll gain a boost in self-esteem.

Feeling confident about your appearance is a big part of having good self-esteem. If you are tired of staring at crooked teeth in the mirror, getting SureSmile treatment is the best way to love your smile again. While it’s not an ideal fit for every patient, it does work in most cases.
