The results of corrective work are appealing to most, but some people hesitate at the idea of wearing a conspicuous appliance throughout the actual treatment process. You may think bright metallic braces appear unprofessional or draw unwanted attention to a smile you may not be proud of in the first place. For this reason, straightening your teeth with a more discreet solution can provide desired results while minimizing their appearance in your mouth.

Your Fort Worth, TX orthodontist is proud to provide an alternative to traditional bracket-and-wire braces with Invisalign clear aligners. With their translucent appearance, clear aligners provide comfort through your correction period by being difficult to see. They gradually move your teeth into a straighter position while offering other benefits not available with wire braces. Invisalign allows you to more easily maintain oral hygiene as they are removable when brushing and flossing. Removing your aligners prevents decay-causing debris from sticking to your appliance at mealtime as well! (more…)

Did you know that orthodontic alignment maintains the beauty of your smile by helping you prevent tooth decay as well? By pulling your teeth into a more desirable position, we allow you to more easily access each surface for proper brushing and flossing. This gives long-lasting oral health benefits by protecting your enamel and preventing its erosion from bacterial buildup.

When Misalignment Leads To Tooth Decay

Posted by

Woman in glasses smiling on white backgroundIssues with the alignment of your teeth are not simply cosmetic concerns. While teeth that have poor spacing can appear rather unsightly, their misalignment also leads to oral health problems such as tooth decay. For this reason, you should make yourself aware of the potential harms of malocclusion and services that provide for its correction. Seeking orthodontic treatment can help you preserve your oral health while dramatically improving your appearance at the same time! When your teeth crowd together too closely or overlap at odd angles, they become far more difficult to properly clean. You may not be able to fit your dental floss or even reach all surfaces of the tooth with your brush. This can lead to cavity formation as plaques build in areas you are unable to clean. By bringing your teeth into alignment, you gain access to more easily cleaning each member of your smile! This means you are less likely to develop signs of decay in the future.

Your Fort Worth, TX orthodontist specializes in the treatment of dental misalignment. We can examine the extent of your malocclusion and develop a treatment plan to support your oral health while providing a more beautiful smile.
