A smile that is out of balance can affect both your oral health and your appearance, so it is important to have teeth that are appropriately spaced and do not crowd each other. Some patients hold back when it comes to their dentist because the idea of traditional braces is too much to handle, especially adults who need to look professional during work. If you have been avoiding talking to your provider about orthodontics, take the time to ask about SureSmile® clear aligner therapy and discover the advantages of a more private treatment option.
With our team of caring dental professionals at Magnolia Family Dental in St. Louis, MO, you have the opportunity to enhance your smile. Misalignment is a common concern among people of all ages, and we know that orthodontic treatment for adults can be helpful in improving oral health and looking your best.

Crowded And Overlapping Teeth Can Create Problems
While most think of alignment as a cosmetic concern, it can also affect your ability to fully brush and floss. You need to be able to reach all surfaces of each tooth to remove bacterial biofilm, and if there is a spot where the teeth crowd or overlap, then you can struggle to keep them clean. As plaque remains on the surface of your teeth and along your gumline, it calcifies into a harder material called tartar (calculus), and at this point, you need a trained dental professional to remove it in a safe manner.
If there are areas of your smile that are particularly difficult to clean, your alignment could be to blame. Talk to your provider about these locations, and they can help you to know more about healthy maintenance techniques and whether orthodontic improvement could help.
