Orthodontic treatment is the best way to straighten your teeth, but with so many options available, it's important to consider only the proven methods. Traditional braces, aligners, and cosmetic contours are all effective treatments for correcting spacing problems.
Nearly 13 percent of orthodontists have seen a patient who has tried teeth straightening methods that you can do yourself.
Fortunately, there are other ways to straighten your teeth without braces; it just depends on your specific dental needs. Here are a few options you'll want to consider if you're looking for a quick way to get the smile you've always wanted. The pinhole surgical technique is a minimally invasive procedure that can accelerate orthodontic treatment.Small pinhole openings are made in the bone around the teeth, allowing them to be repositioned quickly and easily. Invisalign and other types of braces can also be used in conjunction with this system to target individual teeth if necessary. Another option is to use a series of clear aligners that are worn for most of the day, except when eating or brushing your teeth. This method gradually moves the teeth into their desired position over time. If your teeth only need minor adjustments, you may be able to straighten them with a fixed or removable retainer. No matter which method you choose, it's important to remember that orthodontic treatment is best for people ages 10 and older who have moderate to extreme spacing problems.
If used correctly, these treatments can help you achieve the smile you've always wanted without having to resort to braces.
