Is the position of your teeth denying you that perfect, straight smile you’ve been looking for?
Then short-term orthodontics may be the solution you need to give your teeth and smile a proverbial facelift. We understand that most people are preoccupied with busy schedules and want to get straighter teeth in the shortest time possible. Indeed, technological advancements in orthodontics have made it possible for treatment to be accomplished only in months with short term orthodontics with aligners.
And while short-term braces are an option in some cases, we believe that orthodontic treatment with aligners is the ideal solution for adults who want a minimally-invasive, rapid results approach to straighter teeth.
The Value of Orthodontics
Braces are the most recognized orthodontic treatment. However, traditional braces can take up to 24 months or more to fully correct issues with your teeth alignment. Because of this length of time and inconvenience, many adults will reject the long-term orthodontic option. Short-term orthodontics with aligners, on the other hand, can improve your smile in as little as six months.
Long-term and short-term orthodontics aim to correct dental misalignment. However, the indications of short-term and long-term orthodontics differ. The traditional, long-term approach to treatment aims to fix the cosmetic realignment of your teeth along with fixing certain more complex jaw and bite relationships/
With short-term orthodontics, the goal is to focus primarily on correcting the cosmetic tooth alignment. This aligner-based approach will straighten your teeth, and it offers many of the benefits of a long-term solution in almost a quarter of the time.
Short-term orthodontics treatment uses custom crafted aligners to progressively move the teeth into the proper (planed) position.
The Benefits of Orthodontics
Orthodontics is the field of dentistry used to help correct teeth and jaw positions that may otherwise lead to more serious dental issues. Long-term and short-term orthodontic treatment provides multiple benefits. For example, those who need orthodontics but do not receive treatment are more likely to suffer from:
- Periodontal and Gum Disease;
- Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders;
- Halitosis;
- Headaches; or
- Neck, Shoulder, and Back Pain
When your teeth are properly aligned, they make oral hygiene much easier. This reduces the likelihood of developing bad breath, decaying teeth, and more. It also helps your jaw sit in its proper position because it no longer has to compensate for ill-fitting teeth.
How Do Short-Term Aligners Work?
The working mechanism of short-term aligners is different from conventional braces, and we discuss it in detail on our orthodontic aligners page.
