Alternative Solution to Teeth Straightening

Most people assume that if you have pearly white teeth, you will automatically have a perfect smile. But teeth whitening products wouldn’t look anywhere near as good on crooked teeth. You can brush your teeth as much as you want but unfortunately, crooked teeth are a completely natural occurrence. But there are plenty of teeth straightening options at your disposal that can help.

How do teeth get crooked?

Crooked and misaligned teeth is one of the most common issues in the dental cosmetic world. Little can be done to ensure that our teeth stay straight as we grow up and our baby teeth fall out. However, with modern technology and orthodontic treatment, we can shift our permanent teeth around.

But what could possibly be the cause of our dental health problems in terms of teeth alignment?

Growing up - As we grow older, our bones shift and move around and our jaw is no exception! When our baby teeth fall out and our adult teeth start to come into the fold, our jaw bone movement is at its peak. This means that when our new set comes through, you could suffer from misaligned or overcrowded teeth.

Bad habits - We all have bad habits, but did you know that some can have a negative effect on the alignment of your teeth? Habits such as thumbing sucks and tongue thrusting can, over time, determine the way our teeth grow? If you had any of these bad habits when you were younger, you may now be suffering from a misaligned dental arch.

Diet foods - Did you know that healthy foods and even tough foods like steak can actually strengthen your dental arch? Sugars can rot away at the tooth's root which will weaken the strength of your teeth. Not only this, tough foods give your jaw some much needed exercise that will strengthen your teeth!

Your Teeth Straightening Options

If you’re suffering from crooked teeth and are looking for the best teeth straightening solution that works for you, here are some that you may find useful:

Braces: One of the most iconic and traditional methods to teeth straightening, the brace is a metal wire that, over time, pulls your teeth into shape. The brace is effective but requires a lot of patience as they require maintenance and time to get the end result. With the brace on, you will also be limited to several food that may get caught in the wire or brackets. Such foods include chewing gum and caramel.

Clear braces: A much more modern alternative to the traditional brace and a far more visually appealing option. A clear brace is a clear plastic veneer that sits over your natural teeth. If your teeth are not severely crooked you can opt for a clear brace which acts in the same way as a brace does by pushing your teeth into position. With extremely frequent visits to a clear brace specialist, you will be given a series of

Veneers: Much like clear braces, the veneer is made of a dental grade material that sits over your teeth. Unlike braces, veneers don’t push or pull your natural teeth or cause you pain in any way and simply gives you that straighter look.

What are the costs of Teeth Straightening?

Quite often with more traditional or clear braces, the teeth straightening cost can be staggering and can set you back thousands. Prices can range between £2,000 - £6,000 through private and non private agencies.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t include the after payments of having a non fixed retainer which will come at an additional cost. If you then need to receive treatment for your oral health for such cases as gum disease, then you could be set back even further.

Have you also considered how much time that straightening procedures can take to complete? Some treatment plans can take up to 2 years to complete! Leaving you with an unsightly brace with a metal frame around your mouth for up to 28 months. Is it worth it?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it ever too late to get straight teeth?

Adults can have orthodontic treatment to correct the same dental issues as children and teenagers do. Braces for teeth can be worn at any age.

Crowding, an overbite, or gaps between the teeth in adults may require treatment. Depending on what needs to be done, your orthodontist will discuss treatment and care options with you.

What are the various kinds of braces?

At your orthodontist appointment, you will discuss the different types of braces available and which one would work best for you. It is important to note that regardless of the type chosen, they will need to be worn all day every day. Some can be taken out for cleaning or eating, but others are bonded to the front and back teeth permanently.

Who Will Administer Orthodontic Care?

Your dentist, who is in charge of coordinating your dental care, may refer you to an orthodontist with experience. Orthodontists are specialists who specialise in the prevention and treatment of dental, bite, and jaw irregularities, as well as related facial abnormalities.
