Life can be hectic, we understand. Between work, kids, and everything else, finding time for orthodontic care might seem impossible. But don’t let your busy schedule stop you from prioritizing your dental health. Neglecting orthodontic treatment now could lead to more time-consuming care later. While straight teeth are aesthetically pleasing, their health benefits are often overlooked. Crooked teeth increase your risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and even tooth loss. In fact, you might not have time to skip orthodontic care.
If you’re concerned about the time required for orthodontic treatment, consider clear plastic aligners. This treatment could be the perfect fit for your busy life. Here’s why:
Aligners Fit Your Lifestyle:
Removable aligners let you continue with your regular activities, from sports to enjoying your favorite foods. Simply remove the trays to eat, saving you the time and energy needed to prepare “braces-safe” meals and snacks. Your dental hygiene routine won’t need much adjustment either. Unlike traditional braces, which can add time to brushing and flossing, with aligners, you just remove the trays before brushing and flossing, then clean your aligners before putting them back in.
No More Self-Consciousness:
Many adults worry about the hassle and potential embarrassment of wearing braces. With aligners, there’s no need to hide your smile. They’re virtually invisible, both during and after treatment.
Fewer Emergency Visits:
Traditional braces might require emergency visits for broken wires or other issues. With plastic aligners, broken wires are no longer a concern. You’ll simply need to come in for your scheduled appointments to get new trays.
While aligners aren’t for everyone, it’s worth getting a consultation from our office to see if they’re right for you. Schedule an appointment with Johnson Orthodontics today, and let Nathan Johnson DDS help you discover the difference orthodontic treatment can make in your life.
