Our innovative NU Smile Aligners come with numerous benefits, from the comfortable trays to the affordable price point. The good news is that a wide variety of patients are candidates for this Invisalign alternative as well – they can effectively address everything from misaligned teeth to uneven bites. To learn four common orthodontic issues that NU Smile Aligners can fix, read on!
1. Crooked Teeth
Unfortunately, even minor cases of crooked teeth can spell disaster for your oral health. In addition to creating unique crevices that food particles and plaque can easily become lodged in, crooked teeth can result in premature wear and problems with your bite. The good news is that this orthodontic issue can often be addressed with our NU Smile Aligners. In some cases, preliminary treatments are required, like tooth extractions. However, once your clear aligner treatment begins, each tray will apply just enough pressure to your teeth to gradually move them into their properly aligned positions, improving the look, health, and function of your smile.
2. Gapped Teeth
Some patients love the gap between their two front teeth. If that’s not the case for you, then you’ll be happy to know that NU Smile Aligners can correct spaced-out teeth. In this case, we will create a customized treatment plan and personalized aligners to bring your teeth closer and closer together. You’ll wear each aligner for 20-22 hours a day and for two weeks at a time, and, since they are see-through, you’ll see your dream smile start to appear before your eyes!
3. Open Bite
In short, there are two types of open bites: an anterior open bite and a posterior open bite. In cases of severe bite misalignment, traditional braces may be the best solution. If your case is more minor, however, then you may be a candidate for NU Smile Aligners. If so, we will use our comfortable, discreet, and effective aligners to gradually diminish your open bite until it eventually disappears.
4. A Mix of Baby and Permanent Teeth
NU Smile Aligners aren’t just for adults! For teens who have both their primary and permanent teeth, our clear aligners can help prevent long-term oral health issues while simultaneously improving the look of their smile. When you bring them in for a consultation, we can examine their jaw, monitor the movement of their teeth, and see if they would benefit from orthodontic treatment.
