The food you eat everyday is also absorbed by the pores in your teeth and that is why wine, dark berries, coffee and smoking stain your teeth when you consume them regularly. The natural color of your teeth tends to become darker due to these stains that don’t go on their own unless they are removed with professional help. It is a myth that teeth whitening can damage your teeth as the entire procedure of teeth whitening works by absorbing into your teeth and gently pushing the stains out through the pores.

Braces may straighten your teeth, but at what cost? Not only are they uncomfortable and difficult to clean, but they are unsightly enough that some people even stop smiling, to avoid calling attention to their teeth. Imagine the irony of not being able to smile while you are doing something that will eventually make you want to smile more. If even teens find braces difficult, an adult certainly would, too.

Orthodontic treatment with clear aligners is a quickly growing sector of orthodontic treatment. Both the increase in awareness of esthetics and the increase in orthodontic treatment demand from adults has fueled the demand for a more esthetic orthodontic treatment technique. The public demand for fast and esthetic treatment has been addressed by other dental sectors with approaches such as “instant orthodontics” in which crowns or veneers are used to mask malalignment or with products that claim to use “new techniques” to simply align anterior teeth without addressing other aspects of the occlusion that may need treatment to maintain a healthy dentition.

A new and amazingly easy way to straighten teeth is now being offered throughout the dental world. This system is known as an aligner (you might have heard one of the biggest manufacturers of such systems, called  Invisalign) and is made from approved material that is virtually invisible; meaning you can correct your teeth without anyone noticing! What a great way to get started on a new year with a new smile! Who wouldn’t want to do that? 

Do you hesitate to smile freely and confidently because of discolored, spaced out, chipped, broken or missing teeth? Well, cosmetic dentistry can correct these dental issues and give you the smile of your dreams. A great smile can enhance your appearance, boost your self-esteem, confidence, help you move past any injury or trauma and reduce your risk of oral damage.
