How Do I Benefit from Teeth Straightening Treatment?
You may be considering orthodontic treatment for yourself or a family member for several reasons. Many people decide to receive braces to enhance their smile's cosmetic appearance, while others stay focused on the potential improvements to their oral health. When you receive braces at Clarksville Family Dentistry, you benefit from:
Improved Oral Health: Over time, misaligned teeth may detrimentally impact your jaw's alignment. Crooked or crowded teeth can lead to grinding at night, resulting in Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD). Undergoing effective treatment with braces makes it easier to care for your gums and teeth and alleviates grinding.
Enhanced Aesthetics: When you take advantage of modern orthodontics, you receive a beautiful and straighter smile. Dr. Arunagiri hopes to give you enhanced confidence in the aesthetics of your one-of-a-kind smile.
Financial Savings: By correcting overbites, underbites, and alignment issues, you prevent other dental problems from occurring in the future. Your braces may save you significant time and money on future treatments while also rejuvenating your smile.
Our Treatment Options
To best meet the diverse dental needs of all our patients, our practice offers several orthodontic options. Whether you or a family member struggles with a misalignment issue or a bite problem, we have the skillset and experience to craft a personalized plan for success. Should you have a question regarding our orthodontics at any time, we are happy to address it.
Early Orthodontic Intervention for Children
Dr. Arunagiri firmly believes in the importance of preventive dental care when it comes to protecting your smile. If we observe that your child's permanent teeth require additional guidance to develop correctly, we may recommend a phasal orthodontic treatment. Proactive treatment may include:
- Space maintainers to preserve the alignment of your child's smile as their baby teeth fall out and permanent teeth grow in
- Retainers and palate expanders to maintain your child's jaw shape as permanent teeth erupt
- Braces to correct bite issues, crowding, and crooked teeth
Our team discusses our observations with you and recommends treatments on a case-by-case basis. When it comes to phasal orthodontics, our primary focus is on preventing future dental issues and protecting your child's smile.
Traditional Braces to Straighten Your Smile
Our practice offers traditional braces as a tried-and-true teeth straightening method. Metal braces have been used worldwide to fix bite and alignment issues for a substantial number of years. When you receive metal braces, our Clarksville orthodontist carefully threads a strong steel wire through a set of brackets on the outer surface of your teeth. Over time, the tension shifts your teeth into position.
Traditional braces are versatile and can be used to correct situations that cannot be addressed by other forms of orthodontics.
Lingual Braces to Offer an Alternative Treatment
If you don't like the appearance of traditional braces, lingual braces may be the perfect orthodontic solution for you. Lingual braces have the same components as conventional metal braces but are secured to the back of your teeth. Your lingual braces are nearly invisible to others while still providing reliable results. This treatment can be used for most bite issues, and Dr. Ayunagiri is happy to discuss whether you're a perfect candidate for this form of orthodontics.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners for Subtlety
Invisalign clear aligners provide a subtle alternative to metal braces. When you choose to undergo this process, we begin by taking impressions of your bite. Your impressions, along with dental x-rays, are used by a dental lab to craft a series of customized trays for you. Typically, you'll wear each unique aligner for two weeks before moving on to the next tray in the series. In contrast to traditional braces, Invisalign aligners use pressure to move your teeth.
Your aligners allow you to straighten your teeth without altering your lifestyle in any significant way. By merely removing your trays, you can eat your favorite foods and enjoy your favorite drinks. Since your aligners are removable, it is easy to clean your teeth and practice optimal oral hygiene.
