When you have misalignment, which includes crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth, then the health and appearance of your smile suffers. But we can help correct your alignment with orthodontics! At our helpful local Gainesville, TX dental office, we can offer nearly invisible lingual braces and more, so you can smile with confidence and enjoy a healthier smile at the same time!
Why You Need Orthodontics
Dental misalignment could occur for a number of different reasons, and can hinder the health of your smile. For example, misalignment means food and drink particles can become trapped between teeth and beyond the reach of a toothbrush or floss, increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Misalignment also upsets bite balance and could leave you vulnerable to issues like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). You may also feel self-conscious about your appearance and more likely to try and hide your smile from the world. But we have treatments to make your braces less visible and to even shorten overall treatment times!
Limiting Treatment Times
Accelerated Orthodontics is a unique device that helps limit the amount of time you need to wear braces, sometimes by as much as 50%. Orthodontics often require up to two years because the bone tissue must reform around the position of the teeth, which can take months or years to occur. But! With Accelerated Orthodontics, we send you home with a unique device connected to a mouthpiece which you wear for a set amount of time each day, often as little as five minutes. The machine emits gentle vibrations to encourage the growth of bone issues and limit the amount of time your braces will need to correct your smile.
Invisible Braces
Braces are a very effective way to correct your misalignment, and typically involve attaching brackets to the front of the teeth. But with lingual braces, we attach these brackets to the back of the teeth. We then connect an arch wire to the brackets with bands, and adjust tension in the wires to shift your teeth. The lingual option means practically invisible treatment, so you don’t worry about the impact of your braces on your appearance. If you have any questions about how we correct your smile with lingual braces, or reduce treatment times with the Accelerated Orthodontics system, then contact our team today to learn more.
