Up until very recently, the only way to achieve beautifully straight teeth was to commit to wearing traditional metal braces. Unfortunately, this straightening method isn’t ideal for everyone. For one thing, they dramatically alter one’s appearance thanks to the amount of metal on the surface of the teeth. Plus, some find them to be uncomfortable as well as inconvenient. However, orthodontists now offer Invisalign treatment. This revolutionary straightening method is the result of advanced 3-D computer technology. Best of all, this straightening method is invisible.
Bad dentition can be frustrating, uncomfortable and sometimes painful. It can be an embarrassing problem too as it affects a person’s appearance. Orthodontists specialize in correcting oral problems with the aid of devices such as braces. They fix overbites in teeth, underbites, gaps, alongside other dental issues that involve the jaw, teeth and facial muscles.
Many kids and adults need braces and are referred to a specialist called an orthodontist. In fact, over four million people in the United States wear them each year. These appliances can help to straighten crooked teeth or fix a misaligned jaw. It is helpful to know what to expect at each appointment. Knowledge helps to alleviate any fears you may have about the process and procedures.
