Crooked Teeth
Crooked teeth are not just unsightly, they can be painful and make good dental hygiene difficult or impossible. This can lead to decay, bad breath, and tooth loss. Straightening crooked teeth is a dream come true for many who have lived with a crooked smile all of their lives.
Benefits of Correcting Crooked Teeth
Straightening your teeth is good for your dental health. It gives you the ability to chew normally and comfortably, helps to keep your bite well-aligned, and helps with dental hygiene, which in turn helps to prevent decay and tooth loss.
Straight teeth can have important personal benefits as well:
- Increased self confidence
- Improved social standing
- Better job opportunities
- A tendency to smile more
Options for Correcting Cooked Teeth
To truly straighten your teeth you may choose Invisalign. Invisalign uses a series of removable aligners, so you won’t have the embarrassment or discomfort of wearing metal braces. You can also keep your teeth clean, since you can (and should) take the aligners out brush and floss your teeth.
If you don’t want to commit to the process of truly straightening your teeth, minor crookedness can be covered with porcelain veneers. This is a quick, non-invasive solution that can make your teeth appear straight while addressing other dental issues such as discoloration or misshapen teeth.
Even very crooked teeth can be straightened in adulthood. If you are not a good candidate for Invisalign or porcelain veneers, Dr. Kleive can refer you to an experienced orthodontist.
