What Clear Aligners Can Do For You
Advances in technology have made our lives better in just about every way you can imagine. That includes dentistry. Once upon a time, the only options for straightening teeth were metal braces and traditional retainers. Times have changed, and so can your smile. Modern options now include transparent, plastic orthodontic devices that adjust your teeth. Clear aligners, also known as invisible braces, provide the dental benefits of traditional braces but with certain advantages that metal and wire don’t have.
Clear aligners are a series of transparent, removable trays that are custom-fitted to your teeth. They come in sets, and you wear each set for around 2 weeks. Unlike traditional braces, you don’t need the dentist to tighten or adjust them. When the right time comes, you simply move on to the next set of aligners.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
In addition to straightening your teeth, clear aligners have several advantages over traditional metal and wire braces.
Clear Aligners:
- Are more comfortable than traditional braces
- Are easier to clean
- Require fewer office visits
- Require no changes to the foods you eat
- Look better
- Are removable
Perhaps the most significant advantage of clear aligners over traditional braces is that they fit beautifully into your lifestyle. They are easily removable. This means you can take them out for photos or special occasions. You will also remove them before eating and drinking, so you don’t have to give up your favorite foods. The fact that they are removable also means that brushing and flossing are easier than with traditional braces.
