How does teeth misalignment affect smiling and eating?
Although teeth misalignment is not bad, it severely affects different aspects. Smiling and eating are the immediate bad effects observed due to teeth misalignment.
When your teeth are not straight, your smile does not appear beautiful and it looks improper. In teeth misalignment, the person has either overbite, underbite, crossbite, misaligned bite, crowded teeth, or other misalignment.
In any case, the person will try to hide the protruding teeth while smiling or it may look improper. This makes many of these people embarrassed and lowers their self-esteem greatly.
Also, in teeth misalignment, the upper teeth and lower teeth will not coincide. This can cause difficulty to chew the food. Here, the person experiences improper teeth chewing and some food going inside without being chewed properly.
How do the teeth aligners work during treatment?
Initially, the X-ray is taken about your teeth misalignment area which is used to make the relevant aligners. These teeth aligners are then put on the teeth and they have to be changed for around two week’s period as advised by the Orthodontist.
A gentle pressure is put on the teeth and slowly they move in the desired direction. Over a period of one year, you need to regularly visit the Orthodontist to change the teeth aligners set. You will get the desired results of teeth straightening after the given period.
What are the benefits of teeth aligners?
Although there are many types of the treatment methods like traditional braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces, and teeth aligners. One of the most comfortable types of braces is the aligners and they have many benefits.
Here are some benefits of teeth aligners treatment:
Not easily noticeable
One of the important benefits of these aligners is that they are transparent, so they cannot be easily noticed by another person. In other traditional braces, these metallic braces are clearly visible while smiling and talking, making it embarrassing for some people. With teeth aligners, it is comfortable to talk as well as a smile even during the treatment phase.
Are removable
Other types of braces cannot be removed from the mouth by the user and they are fixed until changed in the next appointment. This could make it difficult for the user to remove any food particles or rinse the teeth properly.
However, teeth aligners can be removed and put back again by the user which makes it more comfortable for the user. This also makes it easier while eating some food items where the removal of braces is necessary.
No irritation inside the mouth
Different other types of braces would give a kind of uncomfortable feeling due to irritation caused. It will also make you uncomfortable while chewing the food item. However, aligners would not make any kind of uncomfortable feel inside the mouth and eating activities can be done more comfortably.
Boost your smile
As these teeth aligners are not noticeable, they can make a person feel more comfortable and smile without any hesitation. The person can regain the lost self-esteem due to teeth misalignment that had impacted their smile.
Prevent jaw pain
Teeth misalignment caused due to protruding teeth, usually comes with jaw pain. Also, other braces treatment cannot reduce jaw pain totally. However, teeth aligners do not affect the jaw movement and do not cause any pain in the jaw throughout the treatment.
These are some of the important benefits that the person can get with this treatment option. One thing must be noted that teeth aligners treatment is costlier compared to the other types of treatment methods.
