A beautifully straight smile can often be the only accessory you need to make a great first impression when it counts. How often have you noticed the way someone smiles with confidence? We’re often drawn to these people who seem so confident, so self-assured. It’s also true, however, that perfectly aligned teeth can be hard to achieve without some type of orthodontic or teeth straightening treatment, leaving lots of people dissatisfied with the way their teeth look and unsure about how they can change things. A common misconception is that braces are only for children, but this couldn’t be further from the truth - thanks to teeth straightening options, it is never too late to start loving your smile.
Feeling embarrassed about how your smile looks can affect you in more ways than you might think. In fact, by shying away from smiling as often as you would like, you could be missing out on some important health benefits: researchers have found that smiling offers a mood-boosting effect, reduces blood pressure, and can even cut down our levels of stress-enhancing hormones. Our emotional wellbeing also stands to improve by being able to smile with confidence. Whether you’re in a business meeting with clients and colleagues or at a milestone family event full of photo opportunities, you’ll stop worrying about how your teeth look and start focusing more on enjoying every moment. Smiling more could even improve your social life! Researchers have found that giving people a warm smile makes them see you as more likeable.
Orthodontic treatment isn’t all about the cosmetic side of things though; straightening your teeth also offers some important benefits in terms of oral health. For example, teeth straightening, closing gaps between teeth, and improving crowding makes it easier for you to brush, floss, and generally maintain good dental hygiene, meaning that you are more likely to avoid periodontal disease (gum disease) and other types of gum problems, which can lead to tooth loss. Secondly, with a more even and stable bite, you’ll prevent problems with your jaw and so usually reduce the risk of tooth wear, which can happen over the years as a result of poor and uneven bites which put more pressure on certain teeth than on others. Choosing adult orthodontics now can improve your chances of maintaining strong and healthy teeth for many years to come, benefitting your overall general health.
Here at Clinica Cloe we always spend time explaining treatment options with our patients, showing them how their teeth could look after treatment using specialist smile design software. Orthodontics can be a good solution for patients who have
If any of these descriptions relate to you, we invite you to come to our clinic for a consultation where we can show you treatment mock-up and answer any questions you might have.
At Clinica Cloe, we offer this type of Invisalign treatments, depends on every patient case:
Although you know the benefits of having straighter teeth, you might be worried about how any lengthy treatment could fit into your life. The good news is that treatments such as Invisalign or braces require little to no changes to the way you live, aside from making sure to maintain good oral hygiene every day. In addition, with Invisalign, it is important to make sure you are wearing the Invisalign aligners for the required 22 hours per day to ensure the best opportunity for the teeth to move. One of the most important considerations for teeth straightening for adults is lifestyle; the option you choose should fit around your work and social life. For example, if you are in a client-facing role, you might feel more confident with a straightening solution that is less visible. Whether you choose Invisalign or braces, treatment times are now much shorter than they used to be, taking up even less of your time than in the past. On average, you would need three appointments for the planning and fitting of the treatment you choose, then one appointment every month or two months. So, in total, you would only need to attend around 15 appointments depending on the extent to which your teeth need to move into the ideal position.
The most popular option for teeth straightening is Invisalign. Patients often choose this treatment because the aligners are easy to wear and clean. Since they are almost invisible, most people don’t even notice that you are having treatment at all! Using virtual 3D planning software, we can even show you how your new smile will look and how your teeth move before any treatment even begins, so you can feel confident in the outcome. With Invisalign, the patient also doesn’t need to visit the dentist as often as with regular orthodontic treatment.
The second option we offer here at Clinica Cloe is braces, which is probably what comes to mind when you think of having traditional orthodontic treatment. Thanks to the innovative material they are now made of, metal braces make it easy to effectively move the teeth without causing any damage to the bone and ligaments around the brace. Like with Invisalign, our virtual 3D planning technology will give us an accurate idea of exactly how long your treatment will last, within normal limits, so you understand how the treatment will look before you get started.
Teeth straightening is an investment that can benefit not just your emotional wellbeing, but your general health. With treatments that are now shorter, more advanced, and even less visible, there is now no excuse to put it off for fear of lengthy procedures, or the idea that you are ‘too old’ to be wearing braces. Using x-rays, medical history, and photos that we take in your first visit, everything will be planned out for you, resulting in an easy and comfortable treatment. The end results? An attractive smile and straight teeth that will enable you to improve your oral hygiene, chew and eat more comfortably, and smile with confidence!
