Many people hide their smiles behind their hands because they feel self-conscious about their teeth. Thanks to advances in dental technology there are now many ways to solve this problem. Speak to our dentist West Bridgford and book an appointment and you will be able to find out what the best form of orthodontic treatment is available for you. There are many different factors which can affect the alignment of your teeth and by carrying out a thorough examination of your teeth and gums as well as a smile assessment our dentist West Bridgford will be able to find out whether you are suffering from any skeletal issues, if there is a problem with your bite or if your teeth are simply crooked and wonky. Many people undergo orthodontic work for cosmetic purposes, but it is also an excellent way of improving your dental health. Orthodontics can be used to improve the alignment of your smile, correct minor gaps between your teeth, combat issues related to overcrowding and overlapping of your teeth and this can help maintain better dental hygiene and reduce the risk of dental health issues in the future.Clear aligners for teeth straighteningYoung people often undergo straightening using metal dental braces that are fixed to the surface of their teeth, however, most adults are reluctant to undergo this form of treatment as it can often draw further attention to the mouth. Clear aligners are an excellent method of teeth straightening at your discretion. Here at Hilton Dental Clinic our dentist West Bridgford can offer you clear aligners to correct mild or moderate misalignment tissues of the teeth. Clear aligners are designed and manufactured to fit over your teeth and apply pressure to move them into a neater formation. This is a highly efficient method of teeth straightening and you can achieve noticeable results within 6 months. The process itself takes an average of 6 to 12 months depending on your dental requirements and the extent of movement that is necessary to achieve the smile that you are looking for. They are discreet and they are also comfortable to wear. They are also very convenient because they can be taken out of your mouth and replaced as necessary. You are able to maintain a good dental hygiene routine with clear aligners and you can also continue to eat the food you enjoy as the aligners are taken out at meal times.SureSmileSpeak to our dentist West Bridgford at the clinic to find out more about straightening your teeth without drawing unwanted attention to your mouth using clear aligners.
