Carlingford Dental Teeth Straightening
It has become more common for adults to have their teeth straightened. There are several reasons for this, one being that the straightening need not require braces or at least not braces that are too prominent. In the past adults resisted braces as they seem too ‘teenagers’. But now the teeth can be straightened without the awkward teenage look. And the results can be reasonably quick.

It is easy to understand the aesthetic appeal of straight teeth. They look better for the sake of looking better. And we might well understand that straight teeth might be what was previously missing from our face; the former crooked teeth meant we didn’t quite look right. But it is easy to overlook the social benefits of the neater teeth. It encourages us to smile more. It encourages us to be a little more outgoing. And this in turn encourages others to interact with us. So teeth affect our social life.
Perhaps more importantly, neat teeth mean better oral hygiene. Straight teeth mean not having hard-to-reach, hard-to-clean spaces; no gums over molars that tend to trap food. Cleaning is easier and more effective with straight teeth.
Crooked teeth can also mean crooked jaws. And both of these tend to make life increasingly difficult over time. Often any type of dental crookedness leads to accumulating wear on the teeth, or jaws that develop a click. If we have our jaws and teeth straightened as easily as possible we largely avoid these types of wear problems.
Carlingford Dental Modern Straightening Techniques
Braces can be made less conspicuous than before, almost blending in with the teeth. And they feature smaller brackets, so they cause less mouth irritation. Some adults are comfortable with these more discreet braces.
Invisalign is a teeth straightening system that uses clear aligners (rather like a small mouth guard) to move the teeth and fix some jaw alignment issues. This system is removable for eating and drinking, or the occasional public speaking engagement. It cannot make more severe changes to the mouth, some extreme issues require conventional braces, but it is very effective for the majority of dental straightening issues.
Veneers are not so much a teeth straightening method as an alternative to straightening. Veneers are like crowns that only cover the front (visible) part of the teeth. These veneers look like neat, clean natural teeth. And if the original tooth is slightly crooked the veneer can cover this and be neat and straight. Veneers can also fill in the gaps between widely spaced teeth because the veneers can be made slightly wider than the original teeth.
