You may wonder if you are a good fit with the MTM Clear Aligner. If you are dealing with conditions that may hamper your ability to smile well or chew properly, you may benefit from a clear aligner.

These conditions are:

• Crowding – not enough space between teeth, which results in teeth overlapping
• Gaps in your smile or spacing – a condition where there is too much space between teeth, which can affect chewing
• Tipping – occurs when teeth tilt at an inward or outward angle, or lean forward or backward; this can cause other teeth to incorrectly shift, resulting in crowding and an improper or “off” bite.
• Rotation – happens when teeth are turned clockwise or counterclockwise, which can lead to tooth decay
• Intrusion/extrusion – an issue that results in teeth sitting too high or too low, causing an increase in tooth decay and poor oral hygiene
• Midline discrepancy – results in the center of the upper and lower teeth not being aligned, which can be an indication of an improper bite, leading to pain

Of course, when you speak with Dr. Ledford, he can determine if this appliance is the best fit for you. Contact us today at 816-941-0980 to set up your appointment. We look forward to your call!
