Straight Teeth Are Healthier Teeth
Orthodontic treatment is about more than a confident smile. Properly aligned teeth contribute to better oral health at any age. For adults, correcting misalignments can alleviate stress on jaw joints, relieve overcrowding for easier oral hygiene, and prevent abnormal tooth wear.
For children, addressing dental alignment early is crucial for their oral development, speech, and the ability to maintain proper dental hygiene. At Sugar Creek Smiles, we agree with the American Association of Orthodontists, which recommends an orthodontic evaluation by age seven to assess the need for future treatment.
SureSmile® Clear Aligners for Discreet Treatment
SureSmile clear aligners are similar to Invisalign and designed for those who prefer a less noticeable orthodontic treatment. Ideal for teens and adults, these aligners correct overcrowding, gaps, and bite issues with a series of custom-made, virtually invisible trays. Aside from perfecting your smile discreetly, clear aligner trays are comfortable and removable for eating and oral hygiene.
The process for getting clear aligners at our Crawfordsville dental office includes the following steps:
- Consultation — We begin with a detailed assessment of your dental alignment needs.
- Imaging — Advanced imaging technology helps us create your personalized treatment plan.
- Custom Aligners — Several sets of custom-fit aligners are crafted to shift your teeth into the desired position gradually.
- Regular Check-Ins —We'll monitor your progress and make adjustments as necessary.
Traditional Braces: Time-Tested and Effective
Traditional braces are a powerful tool for correcting more complex dental issues and are suitable for patients of all ages. Using a system of brackets and wires, traditional braces apply consistent pressure to teeth, guiding them into alignment over time. They are highly effective for a wide range of corrections, from simple adjustments to more significant transformations.
