You know this because you\u2019ve had them before! For one reason or another, your previously perfect teeth have slid back out of alignment and are compromising your smile once again. Is there a way to solve dental crookedness <em>without<\/em> uncomfortable wires and brackets?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, yes there is! Keep reading to learn why so many patients prefer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lrfamilydentalcare.com\/orthodontics.html\">CandidPro<\/a> for their orthodontic treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Did My Teeth Shift in The First Place?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First thing\u2019s first \u2013 let\u2019s provide you with some closure about why your teeth might have shifted out of alignment in the first place. It\u2019s possible that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You didn\u2019t wear your retainer as instructed. <\/strong>Retainers can be somewhat of a bother when you\u2019re feeling tired, but they\u2019re designed to \u201cretain\u201d your teeth\u2019s new positions. Failing to wear them could definitely result in shifting teeth!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You\u2019ve developed some new teeth.<\/strong> Whether you ended up keeping them or getting them extracted, wisdom teeth can push your other pearly whites out of place as they grow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You have compulsive oral habits. <\/strong>Chronic teeth grinding, nail biting, ice crunching, and other such habits exert excess pressure on your teeth, which can push them into crooked positions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you suspect any of these causes could be the culprit, be sure to note this to your dentist so they can help you avoid further realignment in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will CandidPro Realign My Teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely! The fact that you\u2019ve had orthodontic treatment in the past doesn\u2019t change CandidPro\u2019s ability to straighten your smile. Your dentist will provide you with a set of personalized, clear plastic trays that you\u2019ll wear for 22 hours per day. They\u2019ll apply gradually increasing pressure to your teeth, encouraging them to move in much the same way that traditional braces do \u2013 just without the wires and brackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Will I Benefit from a CandidPro Treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of their sleek, removable design, CandidPro has several quality-of-life advantages over metal braces, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shorter average treatment times<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fewer in-office visits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A discrete, invisible look<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An expanded menu of safe foods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easier maintenance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhanced comfort<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, patients tend to find CandidPro orthodontics to be more convenient and professional-friendly. Your peers likely won\u2019t even know you\u2019re straightening your teeth again unless you tell them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remember to Talk to Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CandidPro is an excellent treatment option, but it\u2019s not for everyone. Those with more severe alignment issues, for example, might need the strength of metal braces. Be sure to schedule a consultation with your dentist so they can help you find the right orthodontic solution for you and your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our outstanding team of dentists at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lrfamilydentalcare.com\/meet-the-doctors.html\">Little Rock Family Dental Care<\/a> have all the expertise you\u2019ll ever need for dental care!
