Choosing to straighten your teeth is a big decision that affects not only your appearance, but your lifestyle as well. You may be looking to improve your smile for business and social reasons, or even for a special occasion. Either way, clear aligners can provide a simple way to accomplish this without having to put your life on hold. 

​

How Does Clear Aligner Orthodontics Work?

Aligners are designed to make small movements at a time, by putting gentle pressure on your teeth. You’ll need an x-ray and exam to ensure you are a good fit for them. The clear aligner trays are created for you based on measurements and digital images taken of your smile. Once made, the clear aligners are fitted into your mouth to ensure they are snug and comfortable. 

​

What Are The Benefits Of Clear Aligner Orthodontics?

Clear aligners offer a few key benefits that make them one of the most sought after solutions in teeth straightening today due to some the following benefits:

• They are hard to see because the trays are clear.

• Fast results. Clear aligner trays are efficient. They can often help to move your teeth faster than other types of braces.

• You can remove the trays from time to time. This helps with improving dental hygiene and allows you to easily maintain your healthy oral habits.

• Your diet and social life won’t be affected since you’ll be able to remove your aligners before meals or drinks.

 

Am I A Good Candidate For Clear Aligner Orthodontics?

While many prefer to wear clear aligners over traditional braces, they are not available to certain patients. Strides have been made with clear aligners to accommodate the needs of more people, but they still are not able to serve as a viable teeth straightening option for individuals with moderate to severe cases of misaligned teeth.
