Professional Whitening Gives Your Teeth New Life
Everyone’s smile can lose a bit of its luster over time. If you’ve noticed your teeth fading or yellowing, you’re not alone. Staining is a common occurrence for many patients. The cause of this issue is completely natural, too. When you eat, drink, and use certain lifestyle products, your teeth are subjected to pigments. These tiny molecules of color can penetrate your porous dental enamel and become trapped beneath the surface. Over time, this manifests itself as staining.

The Benefits of a Professional Dental Cleaning

That’s when orthodontics can help. Orthodontics can correct for misalignment and occlusion issues with your teeth. This can create a cosmetic improvement, which is why most people choose a treatment option like invisible aligners or braces for their teeth.
