Would you like to have straighter teeth?
If you have them, you’re likely aware of the aesthetic implications of crooked or misaligned teeth. But did you know they can also heighten the likelihood of tooth decay and gum disease? Thankfully, there are various solutions to address teeth misalignments in your smile. Our team at Eagle Family Dental in Arlington, Washington, can help with dental braces and alternative orthodontic solutions.
What types of treatments are available for misaligned smiles?
At Eagle Family Dental, we offer you five distinct solutions to align your teeth, tailored to cater to your specific needs:
- Transparent Braces. Transparent braces are braces whose brackets and wires are hard to see when patients smile. Instead of using traditional braces, which are dark metal and reflective, our transparent braces use clear and tooth-colored appliances to blend in better with the smile. Transparent braces can be used for both teenagers and adults who are self-conscious about how they look when going through their orthodontic treatments.
- Invisible Aligners. Invisalign aligner treatments are another option for our local patients with mild to moderate misalignment. They start with a series of digital impressions, which are used to create a series of clear plastic trays that fit over one’s teeth and improve alignment gradually with time. Patients wear the plastic aligners for at least 20 hours daily, only removing them to eat, drink, brush, and floss. We offer three types of invisible aligners: Invisalign, ClearCorrect, and SureSmile Aligners.
- Dental Veneers. Sometimes, a single misaligned tooth or gap can be addressed quickly and easily with restorations such as dental veneers. These thin porcelain shells are customized to the patient to match the shape, color, and size of their natural teeth. These are created in as little as two appointments and bonded over a tooth to change its appearance. Our porcelain veneers are perfect for minor imperfections at the front of the smile on the anterior teeth.
- Dental Crowns. Alternatively, other porcelain restorations, such as dental crowns, can also be used to cover misaligned teeth or address bite alignment issues, more often on teeth near the back of the smile, such as the molars. Dental crowns are similar to veneers in that they are created to match the rest of the smile for seamless integration.
- Aesthetic Dental Reshaping. Using composite resin, our skilled dentists can provide same-day correction of imperfections that might not require orthodontic treatment. This material appears just like natural tooth enamel to ensure dramatic yet natural-looking changes to the smile in a single visit!
