Let’s say that you had a braces treatment in the past. If your teeth are looking crooked again, do you need braces to correct them? Or can you skip the metal brackets and wires and get Nu Smile Aligners?
Good question! After all, these two orthodontic solutions are different – although they might have more in common than you think. Keep reading to find out why re-straightening your pearly whites with Nu Smile can be a good idea.
The Science of Orthodontics
Both metal braces and clear aligners correct crooked teeth using the same principle: guided pressure. When they customize your orthodontics to meet your specific oral needs, your dentist essentially designs the appliance to slowly nudge your teeth into more ideal positions. This is why your braces might need tightened and why clear aligner patients receive several sets of trays; the goal is to apply increasing amounts of pressure to accomplish this dental movement.
Since they work the same way, you can absolutely use Nu Smile Aligners to re-correct pearly whites that have shifted out of alignment!
Maintaining Your Results
Now, the reason why your teeth didn’t stay put in the first place can be complicated. Sometimes, wisdom teeth, new dental growth, or injury can shift your smile off-balance, and it’s likely not your fault!
If you didn’t wear your retainer as recommended by your dentist, on the other hand, you should make sure to follow their instructions after your Nu Smile treatment. Teeth don’t like to be moved in general and will revert to their original positions if not stopped by consistent retainer wear.
Benefits of Nu Smile Aligners
As long as you listen to your dentist, Nu Smile Aligners can safely and effectively re-correct your smile, and they can do so more comfortably than braces! The beauty of clear aligners like Nu Smile is that they’re made from a smooth plastic material, meaning there’s no poking or pinching. They’re also completely removable, so you can easily keep your regular diet during treatment. Finally, they are in fact crystal clear – when you clean Nu Smile as recommended, you’ll enjoy a natural, professional appearance.
If you’re determined to reclaim your straightened smile, talk to your dentist about Nu Smile Aligners. The road to perfect dental aesthetics could be a lot simpler than you think!
