Teeth Straightening Is Not Something You Should Attempt At Home.
The desire to experiment with a method at one's residence appears not only simple but also promises significant cost savings. In the following, I will demonstrate why it is neither simple nor cost-effective in the long run.
Straightening your teeth at home without professional assistance can jeopardize your teeth and oral health.
Your jawbone is robust, just like every other bone in your body, including the different bones in your face. When attempting to straighten your teeth, THIS is what we will be moving your teeth through. In order to move your teeth through your bone, your dentist will use a specific amount of force in particular spots.
When the incorrect amount of force is applied to the wrong place on a false tooth, there is a significant possibility that the tooth could break, leaving the patient with more problems than they started off with.
Gum damage
When you go to the dentist to have your teeth straightened, orthodontic brackets or attachments will be bonded to your teeth for a specific reason.
This is done so that brackets or wires do not slip down your teeth. It's not uncommon for things like rubber bands, floss, and fishing line to get stuck under your gums, where they can only be removed surgically. You don't need to take my word for it; google it, and you will see millions of photographs of it.
Root damage
When the improper kind of pressure is put on the otherwise healthy and robust bone, not only can your teeth fracture, but the roots of your teeth can also become harmed. There are two distinct problems with this. To begin, the portion of the tooth visible above the gum is not what anchors the tooth in place; rather, it is the root below the gum.
Second, because the roots of your teeth are buried beneath the gums, you won't be aware that they've been injured until you experience discomfort or swelling in that area. This can have adverse effects like losing one’s teeth.
Loss of teeth
If you break a tooth at the gum line, your dentist may be able to preserve it with a root canal and crown; however, you will lose all of the money you thought you would save by straightening your teeth on your own. An extraction is the treatment of choice in most cases involving broken teeth.
If you damage one or more of the roots of your teeth, you should be prepared for the same treatment, either root canals or extractions.
But what if you already have gum disease and you try to straighten your teeth on your own? Be ready to experience the loss of MULTIPLE teeth.
Do you wish your smile was more aligned?
Even though someone specializes in that, I can appreciate the desire to do it yourself. But unfortunately, I also have a lot of people who come in with pain, swelling, broken teeth, and the need to remove teeth either while they are trying it or after they have tried it.
