What’s commonly called “buck teeth“ includes understanding its causes and effects on overall oral health. Buck teeth, or protruding front teeth, occur when the upper incisors extend noticeably beyond the lower ones. This is often due to genetic factors, thumb-sucking, or prolonged pacifier use during childhood.
Genetics play a major role in causing buck teeth, often passing from parents to children. Childhood habits like thumb-sucking can push teeth out and alter jaw shape. Issues with jaw growth during childhood can also worsen buck teeth if not addressed.
Buck teeth can lead to jaw pain due to added pressure on the jaw and muscles. They may also impact speech by disrupting how words are formed. Additionally, protruding teeth are more vulnerable to damage from falls or accidents because they are more exposed.
A common myth is that only children can fix buck teeth, but adults can also benefit from treatment. Aligners work effectively for both minor and complex issues. They’re just as reliable as braces for correcting buck teeth, with a less invasive approach. At Smilebliss, we believe age is not a barrier to a beautiful smile.
Clear aligners use custom-fit trays to gradually shift teeth into the desired position. Digital scans of the mouth create accurate molds for these aligners, allowing each set to fit well and apply the ideal amount of pressure.
Consistent use, typically 22 hours a day, is important for success. Skipping days can delay progress.
The path to a beautifully aligned smile with clear aligners is both personalized and straightforward. Each stage, from consultation to final adjustments, is carefully planned to make sure you achieve lasting results.
Treatment durations with clear aligners generally span from 12 to 24 months, with gradual improvements becoming visible as the treatment progresses. Consistent wear is important to achieving results within this timeframe.
In some cases, orthodontic elastics may be recommended to enhance the alignment process and further refine outcomes.
Clear aligners are an effective and versatile option for both teenagers and adults. This flexibility allows individuals across various age groups to benefit from aligners as a solution for misalignment.
For younger patients, growth stages are carefully assessed to confirm that aligners are a viable and effective choice. The adaptability of clear aligners makes them a popular and accessible option for a wide range of needs.
Maintaining aligners is simple yet essential. Clean them daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soap to keep them clear and hygienic. Avoid using hot water, as it can distort the plastic material. When not in use, aligners should be stored in a protective case to prevent accidental damage. Routine check-ups are beneficial for monitoring both the treatment progress and overall oral health.
