Tooth positioner is as important as braces

After the procedures involving the correction of malocclusion of teeth is completed, there is still some room for improvement and final touches. The reason behind this is the fact that even after one has undergone the treatment that employs the usage of dental aligners or a brace resulting in the straightening of teeth, there remains a valid chance of them relapsing to their improper positions. To avoid this complication, an orthodontist will recommend wearing tooth positioner for a short duration of time. A tooth positioner is a dental appliance that is constructed in a laboratory after the impressions of the teeth along with the braces have been taken.

These customised equipments then are worn over the teeth after the removal of aligners/braces like a mouth guard for a specified period of time. During this time, the patient is asked to clench the teeth. The general duration for wearing this extends to a week. It should be worn for 24 hours a day. They can be removed while eating, brushing or any such activity. However, there are some side effects of wearing these positioners for e.g. swollen gums. But the thing to be kept in mind is that this is only a short-term problem and a long-term picture should be kept in mind. These can come handy while playing sports as they can serve as an excellent mouth guard. So, it kills two birds with a single shot – helps in the final touches and protects your mouth from external forces.

This ultimately results in a better oral hygiene as it becomes easier to clean teeth in addition to shaping a perfect smile. In fact, in the process of designing smile, the process of treating malocclusion forms an important part. Of course, this won't be needed if all you are looking for is improving the visual appearance of the teeth – like whitening, filling gaps etc and are blessed with an otherwise perfectly aligned set of teeth.
