Veneers can help you achieve a smile you’re confident about. While they don’t actually move crooked teeth, they create a straighter appearance. Read on to learn more about veneers.
It’s easy to think of straighter teeth as a cosmetic goal. And, while a lovelier smile is worth striving for, the benefits go far beyond that.
Strong and healthy teeth play a valuable role in your overall health. From improved self-confidence to healthier gums, straighter teeth optimize your oral health and appearance.
Our experienced team of dentists at Swinney Dental in Tyler, Texas, offers Invisalign® to help improve mild to complex alignment issues. Read on to learn five reasons worth considering it.
Your smile is the first thing people notice about you. Straighter teeth can turn reduced confidence about your crooked grin into a smile you’re proud to reveal. Rather than get distracted by thoughts about your teeth in public or photos, you can rest easy and focus on what matters most.
Misaligned teeth can make it difficult to chew and talk. And because poor chewing can lead to digestive issues, such as heartburn, straighter teeth can bring greater physical ease. Meanwhile, your straightened teeth may help you better enunciate your words, allowing you to better connect and communicate with others.
Crooked and overcrowded teeth are often difficult to keep clean, given the deep grooves. Once your teeth are straighter, you’ll brush and floss with ease. That means less harmful bacteria, less plaque buildup, and a lower risk of cavities.
Having an easier time cleaning your teeth once they’re straightened also helps safeguard you from gum disease. That is essential, given that nearly half of adults aged 30 and older develop it. Straighter teeth mean healthier gums and a reduced risk of tooth loss related to severe gum disease in the future.
With fewer places for bacteria to hide, straighter teeth can keep you from needing to dip into your bank account. Even if you have dental insurance covering some amount, treatments for severe or recurrent oral health problems can add up financially. Rather than needing to schedule frequent or emergency dental visits, you may only need to make time for routine cleanings.
If you’re hoping to gain the perks of straighter teeth, Invisalign can help — without the hassle of conventional braces. The clear aligners gradually straighten your teeth — no metal required!
Once you’ve been custom-fit for your trays, you’ll start wearing them for 20-22 hours a day, removing them to eat, brush, and floss.
At Swinney Dental, we correct many common alignment complaints with Invisalign, including:
