As a beautiful smile is an important part of everyone’s personality, people try to find ways to fix their dental problems. Having a shiny and gorgeous smile requires healthy, straight, white teeth, which can be a dream for some people with severe dental issues. A common dental problem affecting your smile’s beauty is crooked and misaligned teeth that may make you ashamed of smiling or laughing. Fortunately, there are many different procedures designed for people with misaligned teeth. Here at Parkview Dental & Implant Centre, you can ask for professional help if you have struggled with crooked teeth for a long time. While metal braces are the most common method of straightening crooked teeth, not all patients, especially adults, are interested in those traditional braces, primarily because of their appearance. So, what should you do if you want to fix your teeth but don’t like to have traditional braces? These days, Invisalign treatment gives patients a chance to fix crooked teeth while you can enjoy the appearance of your smile as it doesn’t have that traditional braces look. However, not everyone can be qualified to have Invisalign, and in this article, we will explain some signs that show you are an Invisalign candidate.
You feel responsible enough.
You can’t expect the results you want from the Invisalign treatment unless you are responsible enough and commit to wearing them the way you should. It explains why your child’s dentist won’t recommend Invisalign treatment, as most kids can’t be as responsible as needed. You need to wear the aligner trays on your teeth for a specific number of hours per day explained by your dentist. Furthermore, you need to maintain perfect and flawless oral hygiene to prevent dental emergencies and later problems with your oral well-being. If you aren’t very responsible and committed to changing your teeth, Invisalign treatment isn’t a good option for you.
Your oral hygiene is perfect.
As we mentioned, maintaining excellent oral hygiene is necessary when you wear aligner trays. Before having Invisalign treatment, your orthodontist should perform a professional dental examination to check your oral condition and see whether your teeth are healthy enough for the Invisalign treatment. After getting Invisalign, you need to clean them carefully at regular intervals and observe flawless oral hygiene to avoid further expensive costs of replacing them.
Your problem isn’t that complicated.
Just because you don’t like the appearance of traditional braces doesn’t mean you can be a candidate for Invisalign treatment. Your orthodontist will assess your case to know whether Invisalign treatment will work for you. In more complicated cases, you may need oral surgery, which will be done with the help of dental sedation methods, so you don’t have to worry about the pain and discomfort as you will be numb.
You have all of your adult teeth.
Most orthodontists won’t treat cosmetic dental problems unless you have all your adult teeth. You may need more orthodontic work if you still haven’t got all your adult teeth.
Remember to discuss your condition and preferences with your orthodontist so you will be entirely prepared for the procedure.
