What to know about straightening teeth in six months?

An ideal solution for patients with minor orthodontic issues to the front teeth, and who do not wish to wear an orthodontic appliance for a protracted period, is the intuitive clear braces system – Invisalign. The aligner-based braces system can be used to correct a range of orthodontic issues but has been found to offer a quicker resolution (in as little as six to nine months) on front teeth that require minor adjustments.

It is the front teeth that can get the bulk of attention in a tooth-wide smile. Fortunately, for front teeth that need a little help in the aesthetics department, orthodontic appliances like Invisalign can be of great benefit.

The reason why it is easier and quicker to make adjustments to front teeth is that they are easier to move. What is more is that the aligner-based system uses lower force to reposition teeth, making them remarkably comfortable too.

In straightening teeth in a relatively shorter period of time, patients are provided with another advantage – a comparatively cost-effective orthodontic price tag. Patients spend less time in dental appointments and have more control over their teeth-correcting process.

Patients interested in making adjustments to their teeth should know that the exact timeframe of their own treatment plan is heavily dependent on the nature of their tooth alignment issue and only a professional consultation will be able to determine how long a patient will need to wear braces.

Great reasons to straighten teeth

Patients who straighten their teeth often get to keep their teeth for longer. This works with improved oral hygiene made easier through straightening teeth. Difficulties in cleaning teeth is one of the common, but least known, problems associated with misaligned teeth.

Straightening teeth removes the challenges of awkward and hard-to-reach spots so that toothbrush bristles can reach more areas of the tooth and gum surfaces to get rid of trapped food particles and bad bacteria.

Good dental health often goes hand-in-hand with good physical health and mental wellbeing. Correcting a less desirable smile can keep the heart happy and healthy in addition to opening up opportunities to live a rich quality of life through a boost in confidence.
