Who'd like to have a tight-lipped smile? As silly as this
question may sound, it directly refers to a reality many
people are forced to face on a daily basis: crooked teeth
are definitely a problem for self-image and good looks.
Fortunately, modern technology has solutions for the
straightening of crooked teeth which are not too expensive
nor out of reach.
The first thing you should do is make an appointment with
your dentist and an orthodontist in order to have a medical
examination of the condition of your teeth and to see what
can be done about the problem of crooked teeth. Technically
speaking, you'll have several options to choose from, but
it is good to follow professional advice and stick to one
that best suits your condition.
Braces are one first solution for straightening crooked
teeth; they are orthodontic devices that force the teeth to
shift into the right place by putting pressure on them. The
most common materials for braces are ceramics, metal and
plastic; once a month the wires that make the device are
tightened until crooked teeth actually shift into the
desired position. For anyone who is worried about looks
when it comes to wearing braces, I should perhaps mention
that the ceramic ones are the least noticeable, as the
brackets are applied directly to the front teeth by means
of a special glue.
The straightening of crooked teeth is not over with the
simple use of braces; when these devices are removed,
you're most likely to wear a retainer for a few more
months, thus preventing teeth from shifting back into the
initial incorrect position. One more thing worth mentioning
concerns the possibility of tooth extraction whenever the
orthodontist considers it necessary in order to make room
for the straightened teeth.
An alternative to braces is the use of removable aligners
that squeeze the teeth forcing them to move into the
correct position. Known as Invisalign, this technique is
more expensive than braces, and it is used only for mild
cases of crooked teeth.
There are many more advanced and rapid ways of dealing with
crooked teeth, but they are both expensive and pretty
complex involving a lot more stress at the teeth and tongue
level. Most orthodontists will inform you of the
possibility of using accelerated orthodontics in order to
get the perfect smile you may have been looking for.
However, be ready to cope with a little pain and the
discomfort of wearing lingual braces; fortunately, the
whole process is four times quicker than the regular
orthodontic procedure, thus instead of two years, you'd
only need six months to straighten crooked teeth.
