Add twinkle to your smile!

A lot has been said and written about beauty and how it lies in the eyes of the beholder. While we have nothing against the saying, what is to be understood here is the fact that one cannot possible miss the opportunity to enhance it if it is staring at your face. It becomes even more important if it, like it or not, enhances your reputation in the social circle and more importantly helps in career too. We here are talking about a very common yet highly effective exercise of facial muscles which otherwise is more colloquially known as a smile. Having born with a beautiful smile gives you the advantage of leaving lasting impression on others and helps in constructing a positive and warm personality. A lot of factors contribute towards the making of a charming smile. It is said that nature’s design is for the best but the world of cosmetic dentistry has made such progress that it is possible to give highly customised smile to an individual.

The fact is not everyone will be born with the most perfect of features. There is bound to be something missing or if not then an untoward incident can affect the way one looks. Smile designing is considered to be an art backed with the solid foundations of scientific principles that help in achieving an aesthetically appealing smile. The major role is played by teeth in smiling.

Procedures like Dental bonding, enamel shaping or contouring, tooth whitening, dental veneers among others can help in repairing damaged teeth. Take for example teeth whitening that helps in restoring their natural colour which otherwise has gone dull. You can get rid of teeth stained due to bad lifestyle choices like smoking, chewing tobacco, drinking too much coffee etc. Then for those who are more inclined towards fashion, they have the option of dental jewellery to add a bit of a twinkle to the smile!

Then there are cases where the tooth structure affects the smile. Such misalignment of teeth (malocclusion) can be natural or a result of some accident. However, depending upon the level of malocclusion, treatment plan can be designed that may include wearing orthodontics devices such as braces, clear aligners, tooth positioner, retainer among others. Depending upon the choice, these devices are either fixed (dental braces) or simply worn (clear aligners) over the teeth for a significant period of time. Slowly and steadily these appliances work their magic and push the teeth into their intended positions. Following them, tooth positioner is worn so as to help the teeth in memorising their new spot. Ignoring them can result in a relapse. Clearpath manufactures high-grade clear aligners that help in improving your smile in the most comfortable and flexible way possible.

Avoiding tooth positioner can result in relapse

A popular alternative to braces are clear aligners. These are trays designed using 3d technology to suit the unique needs of individual patients. They work the same way as braces but are less interfering. In other words, they work silently without making much hue and cry about their presence within the mouth.

The second phase that involves tooth positioner is as crucial as the one with aligners or braces. Sometimes, after the treatment is over, the newly aligned teeth develop a tendency to relapse. This effectively neutralises the tiring process of straightening. The result is that the orthodontist might have to repeat the treatment. Nobody would want to go through that again. So, in order to achieve the perfect finishing, tooth positioner is recommended. It also helps in closing the gaps, if any, between the teeth. It is recommended to wear them for the first two days – removing only when brushing or eating. While wearing them, one needs to exercise the teeth by clenching, chewing and following up and down motion. They can also double up as a mouth guard during sporting activities. After around six months, the dentist may ask to wear them only at nighttime. In case of any undesirable change, the dentist must be made aware of the condition. These are ideal appliances to get the teeth in perfect shape.

Clear aligners have made their mark as the equipment of popular choice to treat malocclusion. They are a dream of someone dreading the fact that he/she may have to wear dental braces to get the teeth straightened. By creating a plastic tray that can be worn over the misaligned teeth, a dentist provides a comfortable treatment option which is as effective as the traditional. In fact, these plastic trays are made using 3d technology to take precise measurements of the mouth. They aren't fixed to the teeth like metal braces which makes them convenient. They can be removed when required and also due to their material are transparent and hence not easily noticeable.

How to avoid wearing metal braces?

The idea of a mouth full of metal doesn’t sound very appealing? Does it? Of course, your answer will be an overwhelming no unless you do like the taste of metal. However, if you suffer from dental problems like misaligned or crowded teeth, gaps between teeth and other such structural conditions, then chances are high that your dentist will recommend wearing standard braces. There are multiple reasons why one wants to avoid braces. The foremost happens to be their effect on daily life. Since these metal equipments are fitted on the teeth, they can cause problems like mouth sores or even ulcers. The process of maintaining proper oral hygiene goes for a toss as it becomes difficult to keep teeth clean. However, there is a much better, flexible and more user-friendly option in dental aligners.

It is actually a transparent tray made of medical grade plastic that is digitally designed after taking impression of the mouth of those suffering from malocclusion. These aligners are worn rather than fixed on the teeth. These are as much effective as traditional braces in getting rid of conditions like gapped teeth, overbites, under bites, crowding among others. Braces have a chance of getting damaged if not taken care of properly. In fact, they might get broken by solid food particles as well. So, with them, one has to maintain extra vigil. On the other hand, aligners can be removed when required to do so without the need of any assistance. This also comes handy when brushing or flossing teeth.

Also, for some, the major reason to dodge the brace bullet happens to be there effect on the visual appearance. The clunky metals affect a smile and thus making one conscious while speaking or laughing. The aligners are made of transparent and are thus virtually invisible to others. It is hard for others to identify whether the person in front of them is undergoing any kind of dental correction. However, another fact is that these are not for everyone. It is the dentist who decides after making careful examination of the severity of condition whether aligners should be administered or not.
