Orthodontic treatment can be beneficial for many patients and is often recommended to address bite problems and teeth that are crooked or misaligned. However, many patients resist orthodontic treatment due to the hassles and embarrassment often associated with traditional metal braces.
Louisville KY Dr. Kim Westermann offers invisible braces for patients who do not need bite correction but could enhance their smile and improve dental health with orthodontic treatment. Dr. Westermann offers Phase Ortho to address crooked teeth, misaligned teeth, and other mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. Both options offer effective treatment that is completed in about one year with minimal discomfort and inconvenience.
Dr. Westermann will assess your oral health, personal concerns and goals before recommending the option most suited to your unique needs.
Why Straighten Your Teeth?
Most of us consider crooked teeth a cosmetic concern, resisting treatment for a variety of reasons. But crooked teeth can also be the cause of a range of dental problems including tooth decay, tooth damage and TMJ disorders. Crooked teeth are difficult to brush and floss effectively and can create an imbalance in the bite which can lead to TMJ symptoms. Short term orthodontic treatment can give you a smile that not only looks great but supports lasting oral health.
