What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are like transparent trays that help move your teeth into the correct positions. They're custom-made for you and are a great alternative to traditional braces because they're less noticeable.
How Do They Work?
Each set of aligners is slightly different and puts gentle pressure on your teeth. This helps them slowly move to where they should be. You switch to a new set of aligners every so often to keep the progress going.
What Are the Good Things About Clear Aligners?
- Invisibility: Clear aligners are almost invisible when you wear them, so they're discreet.
- Easy to Take Out: You can remove them to eat, brush, and floss, which makes life more comfortable.
- Comfort: They're made from smooth materials, so they don't hurt your mouth.
- Predictable: We use advanced technology to plan how your teeth will move so you know what to expect.
- Fewer Dentist Visits: You won't need to visit the dentist as often as you would with regular braces.
- Fixes Many Problems: Clear aligners can help with issues like crowding or gaps.
- Better-Looking Smile: As your teeth get straighter, your smile looks better, and you feel more confident.
- No Food Restrictions: You can eat what you like because you can take the aligners out.
- Fits Your Life: They won't get in the way if you play sports or a musical instrument.
- Easy to Clean: Keeping them clean is simple - just brush and floss like usual.
- Custom-Made: Your aligners are made just for you, so they work better.
- Less Dental Problems: Straight teeth are healthier and easier to care for.
What Problems Can Clear Aligners Fix?
- Crooked Teeth: Clear aligners can straighten teeth out if they’re all over the place.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Aligners can close the gaps between your teeth, so they're not spaced out.
- Overbites: If your top teeth stick out too much over your bottom teeth, clear aligners can help correct it.
- Underbites: When your bottom teeth jut out past your top teeth, aligners can fix this.
- Crossbites: Clear aligners can help align your upper and lower teeth correctly if they don't fit together properly.
- Open Bites: If your front teeth don't touch when you close your mouth, aligners can help bring them together.
- Crowded Teeth: When your teeth are squished together, clear aligners can create more space and straighten them.
