A bright smile lights up your whole face and is an important aspect of your appearance. It’s often one of the first things people notice about you, too. But what if your teeth aren’t in great shape? It’s difficult to have confidence in your appearance when teeth are stained, shows signs of wear and tear, or have alignment issues. Luckily, these are all problems that can be solved with a trip to your dentist.

Teeth Staining
Teeth are susceptible to stains, and if you’re a regular coffee or tea drinker, you may already be struggling with this problem. The good news is, these kinds of stains are easy to solve with a professional teeth-whitening treatment. Your teeth can be several shades lighter in under an hour!
Some stains—such as those caused by medications—are much harder to remove. These stains are intrinsic and can’t be removed with a whitening treatment, but they can be covered up by veneers. Veneers are thin covers of porcelain that are bonded to your teeth and cover up stains and cosmetic issues such as unevenly-shaped teeth. Veneers can give you an ideal smile that will improve your self-esteem.
Malocclusion
Malocclusion is the term for teeth and jaw misalignment which affects how your teeth fit together. These issues can affect the way your teeth look, but if the problem is severe enough it can also mean your teeth aren’t as effective at biting and chewing as they should be.
An effective way to fix malocclusion is with orthodontic treatment. Invisalign® clear braces are designed to correct mild to moderate alignment issues, granting wearers a straight and beautiful smile. The clear braces are very unobtrusive and easy to wear, and many problems can be fixed within a year.
Trauma and Wear & Tear
Tooth decay, infection, an accident or injury, can lead to tooth damage that affects how teeth look and function, and may even cause significant pain.
For almost every dental issue, there’s a solution: teeth restorations such as crowns, bridges, and dentures can solve a wide range of problems, and restore tooth function and appearance. With modern dental materials, your teeth can be repaired to full function and aesthetics.
