Smiling is usually the antidote to stress, but for many people, it is the cause of it. In fact, feeling self-conscious about our teeth is cited as the main reason only a third of us are willing to pose with our mouths open in photographs. Crooked teeth or teeth that are discolored tend to be the biggest cause of people’s anxieties.
But aesthetics and confidence aren’t the only reasons people should be considering whether it’s time to consider orthodontic treatment to get straight teeth.
While there’s no denying the impact that low self-esteem can have on someone’s well-being, Healthline has listed some key reasons why straight teeth tend to be healthier than their crooked counterparts.
One of the biggest issues with these health concerns is that many of them don’t have symptoms. By the time dental conditions like cavities, gum disease, and other ailments show signs, they’re already advanced. While regular dental check-ups can help and should be part of any good oral health routine, so can getting straight teeth.
Orthodontics has come a long way. While some conditions still need surgery and/or braces to fix, people can now choose between different braces, including virtually invisible aligners.
Some of the most common ways to get straight teeth include:
While all braces achieve the same objective – a straighter smile – aligners are the clear winner for many people and fit effortlessly into their lifestyles. Moreover, clinical studies have shown that removable aligners are equally as effective as fixed braces for minor to moderate orthodontic problems.
The ability to remove the aligners when they need to – such as for eating, drinking, and cleaning the teeth, makes them a convenient choice. Moreover, most people can’t tell if a person is wearing clear aligners (unless they’re told) because they are virtually invisible. Typically, patients wear their clear aligners for 20-22 hours a day, but some “night only” versions enable people to get the same results without wearing the aligners for as many hours a day. However, these aligners tend to cost more and take longer to straighten the teeth. That said, they’re an ideal option for people who don’t feel confident or comfortable removing and inserting the clear aligners when they’re in public spaces.
Clear aligners such as Invisalign don’t come cheap. Moreover, regular dental visits are required to monitor progress and collect the next series of aligners.
As mentioned earlier the good news is that there is a cheaper and more affordable option through direct-to-consumer clear aligners from companies including Caspersmile. Patients can be assessed for suitability online. Once they have taken impressions of their teeth to create molds, the company mails their customized aligners directly to their door – all of this without having to leave home and visit a dentist.
Caspersmile has a team of trained and experienced dental professionals on staff who oversee all clear aligner treatments. Because of lower overheads than physical dental surgeries, Caspersmile keeps their prices refreshingly affordable.

An underbite is a malocclusion in which the lower teeth rest in front of the upper teeth. It is a cosmetic matter, usually.
