Minor cosmetic dental issues may seem more important these days than ever before, but when they do not directly affect your oral health, correcting them is relatively simple. For instance, professional tooth-whitening can erase most surface stains and brighten your smile, while dental bonding can reshape an oddly spaced or chipped tooth. When you have persistent, painful problems with your teeth, gums, and jaws, however, then you may require a full mouth reconstruction to restore the health and function of your smile. Revamping your smile requires an ordered, systematic approach, and in many cases, one of those necessary steps is orthodontic treatment. Fresno dentists, Dr. Alex and Claudia Denes, explain why straightening your smile’s foundation may be imperative to a successful full mouth reconstruction.
A Straight and Sturdy Foundation
The first step to reconstructing your smile is ensuring that your gums are healthy enough to support the restorations. If inflammation or any other signs of disease are present, treatment will be required to restore your gums to health before you can proceed. The next step for full mouth reconstruction is to ensure that your bite is aligned correctly. Your jaw incorporates a wide range of movement to fulfill its duties, and in order to do so efficiently, it must be aligned properly; otherwise, your teeth, gums, and jaw can incur damage from the misalignment. If this is not corrected, then any restorations you place to improve your smile will be decimated, perhaps in the same manner as your natural teeth were.
Luckily, you may not have to battle the possible stigma of traditional orthodontic treatment, which involves metal braces. At our Fresno dentist’s office, we have a variety of options for discrete, convenient adult orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign clear braces, allowing you to straighten your smile without announcing your treatment to the world around you.
