Say goodbye to midline-shift with SmileAligners

Treatment for midline shift with clear aligners

When the middle of the upper teeth doesn't line up with the middle of the lower teeth or the midline of the face, this is called a midline shift. This can change both the way your smile looks and how your bite works. Now that clear aligners are available, it is possible to fix midline shifts without having to wear standard braces. At Smile Aligners, we offer custom clear aligner treatment that can fix midline changes and make your smile more even.

What Midline Shift exactly is?

You can think of a line that goes through the middle of your face and teeth as the dental midline. The middle of your upper and lower teeth should line up with this axis in your face. One or both of the dental arches is off-center, which makes the teeth look out of place or uneven. This is called a midline shift.

Why Midline Shift Is Important

A midline change is more than just an issue of looks. If your upper and lower teeth aren't lined up right, you might experience uneven tooth wear, bite issues, jaw pain, and trouble eating. Misaligned teeth can lead to gum problems and a higher chance of tooth damage over time.

Fixing this can make your face look more even, make your smile look better, and help your mouth work better. A lot of people also feel more confident after treatment.

At Smile Aligners, we make treatment plans just for you.

Because every midline shift is different, we make care plans that are just right for each patient. First, we take a close look at your teeth and bite. Then, we make a custom aligner plan for you that will help you get the best results. You can start your treatment with a 3D scan at one of our partner scan centers in London, or you can pick up an at-home impression kit and do it in the comfort of your own home. After your prints are looked over, your aligners are made to fit your teeth perfectly.

Midline Shift Aligners Pros and Cons

  • Clear aligners are better than standard braces in a number of ways. They are almost invisible, so adults and kids can wear them without drawing attention to themselves. You can take out your aligners to eat, brush, and floss without any problems. Aligners are often more comfy for patients than metal braces because they don't have any wires or brackets to irritate the skin.With Smile Aligners, you also get treatment plans approved by a doctor and ongoing support as you work to improve your smile.

Treatment Duration and When to Wear It

Midline shift treatment lasts for a different amount of time based on how complicated the case is. Mild cases might get better in a few months, but changes that are more complicated might need longer of treatment. Based on your treatment plan, you may wear your aligners all day or while you sleep.
Aligners for the Day
These are made for people who want faster results and don't mind wearing them during the day. Your teeth slowly move into the right place because you wear them most of the day.Many people see changes faster when they use it regularly. People often choose this option when they need to finish treatment fast or get ready for an important event. You will get the best results if you wear your braces the way the company tells you to.
Aligners for the Night
You can choose night aligners if you'd rather not wear them during the day. Since you only wear them to sleep, you don't have to change anything about your daily life to straighten your teeth.This is a great choice for busy people who want a quick and easy way to improve their smile. Treatment may take a little longer than with day aligners. With night braces, you can be comfortable and flexible while still getting good results.

At Smile Aligners, we make sure that every patient gets a skilled evaluation before they start treatment.
