There are different flaws that make people unhappy with the way they look when they smile and speak. One problem is poor alignment, which can leave someone with gaps, overlaps, and other issues that are considered unflattering. What makes people reluctant to ask about treatment is the concern that they will have to wear conspicuous braces. The bracket-and-wire appliances are certainly helpful, but not everyone needs them to make the corrections they want to their appearance. At our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office, we can rely on Invisalign aligners instead of these traditional appliances. Using clear aligners to fix your smile can make it easier for you to change how you look, as you can do so discreetly and without the need to have it permanently set on your teeth. (more…)
