What is the purpose of teeth straightening?

Teeth straightening is the process of using external force and pressure to align and move teeth into the proper position according to a person’s bite over time. Simply put, if you have crooked, misaligned, or misplaced teeth, they can be straightened out.

Teeth straightening essentially aims to improve dental health by correcting crooked teeth, underbites, overbites, deep bites, open bites, crossbites, teeth gaps, and other dental flaws.

What are the benefits of teeth straightening?

1. 1.) Cleaning in between crooked teeth can be difficult, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
2. They improve gum health and strengthen the body’s defenses against periodontal disease.
3. They assist you in chewing your food thoroughly, which is essential for proper digestion.
4. They improve the appearance of the face by lifting the mouth upwards, giving the skin a firmer and younger appearance.
5. Nearly 80% of people said that getting their teeth straightened was one of the most important treatments they’ve ever had.

What are the options and treatments for teeth straightening?

To get your teeth straightened, you will need to see an orthodontist and get orthodontic treatment. The two main types of orthodontic treatments are:

Teeth Straightening With Braces

Dental braces are appliances that are used to straighten crooked teeth and close gaps between them. They’re strategically placed to apply just the right amount of pressure to teeth to help them move into the proper position. Braces are typically required to be worn for 18 to 2 years. The length of treatment, however, is determined by your goal and the type of braces you select.

Braces are divided into four categories:

1. Braces made of metal
2. Braces made of ceramic
3. Braces for Damon
4. Braces for the mouth

Teeth Straightening without Braces

Aligners:

Aligners are clear, custom-made mouthguard-like braces that fit over your teeth and, with continued use, move them into the proper position. Unlike other braces, they are not visible on your teeth and can be taken off and put back on when you eat. Furthermore, they are less time-consuming than traditional metal braces.

There are two types of Aligners:

1. Clear correct
2. Invisalign®

Retainers:

Retainers are wire-based dental appliances that you must wear overnight after completing orthodontic treatment to keep your teeth in their new positions. Can retainers, on the other hand, straighten teeth without braces? Retainers can be used alone to straighten teeth, but they are only effective in adults who require minimal teeth correction. Remember that, while wearing a retainer instead of braces may sound appealing, it is only a viable option in very specific circumstances.
