You’re a working professional. You do your job well, but still, you lack some self-confidence because of your crooked teeth. It’s embarrassing to smile broadly or laugh in public, and you tend to cover your smile. You shy away from traditional orthodontics because of the time and expense involved, and there’s that “metal mouth” look. Your alternative could be Six Month Smiles from Bowie dentists, Dr. Clarine Green Hightower and Dr. Yumna Valiulla at Ambiance Dental Spa.
In the early days of dentistry, all orthodontic work was considered unnecessary, cosmetic care. Through years of research and experience, dental professionals finally realized that misaligned teeth actually present numerous oral health concerns including increased risk for TMJ dysfunction, tooth chips and cracks due to uneven pressure, and tooth decay. It’s clear to most dental practitioners that correcting misaligned teeth is more than just a cosmetic fix, but it’s no secret that smiles are one of the first things people see when they look at us. Correcting crooked, gapped, or misaligned teeth originally involved metal brackets and wires, but in recent years, cosmetic options have become available. One of the most popular options, Invisalign, is available from your Bowie, MD dentist at Ambiance Dental Spa.
