More and more teenagers and adults are having their teeth straightened in recent years. Teeth straightening has become highly popular and no longer something to be embarrassed about. There are many different types of braces that are designed to suit your individual requirements and unique dental needs. If you want to straighten your teeth then you need to speak to your dentist and find out if teeth straightening is suitable for you right now.

For teeth straightening you need healthy teeth and gums. Your teeth need to be free of cavities or tooth decay and your gums need to be free of disease. To maintain healthy teeth and gums, you need to look after your teeth properly at home. This means brushing your teeth at least twice a day, flossing at least once, rinsing your mouth after meal times and maintaining a healthy diet and healthy lifestyle. You also need to visit your dentist at least once every six months and have your teeth professionally cleaned regularly to prevent cavities, tooth decay or gum disease from developing. If your teeth are clean and healthy, then you can begin teeth straightening as soon as possible. If you are affected by cavities, tooth decay or gum disease, then you will need to undergo treatment first before you can straighten your teeth. This is to prevent any adverse effects or future complications.

The effects of crooked & wonky teeth

Crooked and wonky teeth affect a significant percentage of the adult population. Even patients who have had teeth straightening earlier on in life can also be affected by misalignment of the teeth. This often occurs in patients who had orthodontic treatment when they were very young and the shape of their jaw has changed since. Sometimes wisdom teeth can affect the alignment of your teeth. You may have suffered from a missing tooth which can affect the alignment of your remaining teeth or you may have suffered from relapse if you did not wear a retainer.

Patients who avoid orthodontic treatment when they are younger, can suffer from a range of complications as a result of crooked, wonky teeth. Firstly, it can affect the appearance of your smile which can affect your self-confidence and your self-esteem. People with crooked and wonky smiles are likely to smile less, which can affect their mental health and well-being. If you have crooked or wonky teeth, then you are more likely to develop plaque on the surface of your teeth. The millions of bacteria that live in plaque cause tooth decay and gum disease as a result of the acids and toxins that they release. This can eventually result in early tooth loss. Therefore it is very important that you speak to us at Clear Braces Direct and find out about teeth straightening sooner rather than later.

Even if you have avoided orthodontic treatment in your younger years, rest assured there are many options available for you.

Your bite describes the way your teeth fit together and the alignment of your jaw. If the upper teeth fit slightly over the lower teeth and the upper molars fit comfortably into the grooves of the lower molars then this is described as having a healthy bite. If you have a healthy bite then this creates a neatly aligned smile and it also helps you enjoy optimal function of your mouth. A healthy bite enables effective biting, chewing, swallowing, and digestion. It is important for normal breathing and prevents sleeper disorders. A healthy bite also means that there should be no pain or discomfort in your mouth, jaw or muscles around your jaw. If you do feel any pain or discomfort then you need to speak to your dentist and find out if you are suffering from a bite disorder.

Bite disorders

A bite disorder is when there is a misalignment of your upper teeth and lower teeth which can cause a range of different issues. An easy way to determine for yourself whether or not you have a bite disorder is if you bite your tongue or the sides of your mouth often. If you are suffering from a bite disorder there is an increased chance of biting your tongue or sides of your mouth which can result in cuts and sores. If so you need to speak to your dentist. If you visit the dentist on a regular basis they will be able to identify a bite disorder very early on. Bite disorders can be corrected by straightening your teeth using Invisalign London. Here at Clear Braces Direct we are a Diamond Apex provider of Invisalign London and we can correct overbite, underbite and crossbite using Invisalign London.

With an average treatment time of 12 to 18 months, Invisalign London can help improve the alignment of your teeth and reduce the impact that a bite disorder can have on your teeth long term.

The causes and symptoms of bite disorders

Bite disorders can be caused as a result of genetics, birth defects such as a cleft palate, childhood habits such as sucking your thumb, drinking from a bottle for a long period of time, or the use of a dummy. Bite disorders can be caused later on in life if the size of your upper and lower jaw differ from one another, if you have misshapen teeth or if you suffer from early tooth loss. Wisdom teeth and impacted teeth can also cause bite disorders so speak to your dentist today and find out about improving your bite with Invisalign.

Bite disorders can cause TMJ symptoms. This includes pain and discomfort when you move your mouth. You may feel stiffness, soreness or tightness every time you open and close your mouth. The muscles in your jaw may be tense or strained and this can result in pain and headaches that may begin as mild but over time becomes severe. You may also find that you have difficulty biting and even speaking or pronouncing certain words. By speaking to your dentist about Invisalign these issues can be addressed and you can enjoy better dental health, reduce or alleviate pain and discomfort and improve your quality of life for now and the future.

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your smile then it is time that you speak to our dentist and find out about teeth straightening and the many different options that are available for you. You can straighten your teeth with traditional braces which are made of metal brackets and wires that are fixed to the front surface of your teeth. These are the most popular and have been used for over a century, treating millions of patients across the world with excellent aesthetic results and longevity. However over the last few decades we have seen many different types of braces become established for orthodontic treatment. Teeth straightening can be carried out with clear braces which are the same as traditional braces with more discreet components that are made of ceramic and are either clear or designed to match the colour of your teeth. Lingual braces are braces that are attached to the back of your teeth for even more discreet teeth straightening.

Invisalign – removable aligners

For patients who are reluctant to wear fixed braces you can speak to us and find out about removable aligners. The first removable aligner was developed in 1999 and is known across the world as Invisalign London. Invisalign London pioneered the application of removable aligners and since then many different types of removable aligners have been developed. However Invisalign remains the most popular, and most tried and tested. More than 14 million patients have straightened their teeth in just over 20 years using Invisalign London. Here at Clear Braces Direct we have helped more than 7,000 patients straighten their teeth with Invisalign. We are a Diamond Apex provider of Invisalign which means we are in the top 1% per cent in the whole of Europe.

Within removable aligners there are differences too. Some aligners are designed to target certain troublesome teeth, for example you can straighten protruding front teeth with an Inman aligner. Invisalign aligners, however, are designed to correct a range of orthodontic issues that affect the appearance and health of your teeth.

Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign can be used to treat crooked, wonky teeth that make you self-conscious or affect your self-confidence. It can be used to straighten overlapping teeth, improve the alignment of overcrowded teeth and apply gentle pressure to close gaps between the teeth to create a neatly aligned, symmetrical smile. This improves the appearance of your smile as well as your overall appearance, boosting your self-confidence and your self-esteem. It also improves your dental health, reducing the chance of developing tooth decay and gum disease. You will also find that teeth straightening improves the function of your mouth. When your teeth are neatly aligned you will be able to bite and chew more effectively, which means less wear and tear on your teeth as well as better dental health overall. Invisalign can be used for bite disorders, improving the alignment of your jaw. This also helps improve a range of symptoms promoting better overall health and wellbeing. With Invisalign you can straighten your teeth in as little as 4 to 6 months or it can take 12 to 24 months to address more complex issues. Speak to us at Clear Braces Direct today to find out more.
