When it comes to transforming your smile, there are several dental treatments your Neutral Bay dental team might suggest. Depending on your dental situation, you may need to replace one or more missing teeth but also need clear aligner therapy. So, how can your dentist maximise your results by combining implants and aligner therapy? Keep reading to learn more about correcting alignment issues and tooth loss.
Dental Implants to Replace Your Missing Teeth
Dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement option that uses a titanium post to replace your tooth’s root. This post is surgically placed into your jaw, and once it fuses with your jawbone, a dental crown, bridge or denture can be added. Dental implants provide a stable, natural-looking option to close the gaps in your smile.
Clear Aligners to Straighten Your Teeth
With clear aligner therapy, your teeth can be gently shifted into the correct position with custom-made, clear aligners that fit snugly over your teeth. You can enjoy improved oral hygiene because you can remove your aligners to eat, brush, and floss. You also don’t have to worry about bulky brackets or wires, making clear aligners a discreet treatment option.
Maximising Results with Implants and Aligners
Combining dental implants and clear aligner therapy can help you maximise your treatment results. The treatment possibilities are as follows:
Aligner therapy before implants – Your dentist may recommend aligner therapy before your dental implant procedure to properly align your other teeth. This will give you the best foundation for implant placement.
We can also use the digital clear aligner data to guide implant placement and give you the most balanced smile possible.
Aligner therapy after implants – In certain situations, clear aligners can be used after dental implant placement to give you proper bite alignment.
