Clear aligners have become a common and effective orthodontic treatment for teens and adults. There are many misconceptions when it comes to the word braces, however, with clear aligners, these misconceptions often fly out the window, making them unlike their more traditional counterparts, offering so many advantages to the patients who decide to invest in clear aligners.
No Wires!
Your heard me correctly…with clear aligners, patients do not have to worry about the use of wires, bands, and brackets to correct their crooked smile. One of the biggest advantages to wearing clear aligners is their convenience factor. Since they are not attached to the teeth with wires and brackets, they can be removed, unlike traditional metal braces or ceramic braces. And because clear aligners do not use wires, there are no required follow-up tightening appointments.
No Food Restrictions
Unlike with metal and ceramic braces, clear aligners can be removed, which means that patients who wear clear aligners are not restricted from certain foods. They do, however, need to remember to remove their aligners before eating or drinking anything to avoid ruining them.
The Ability To Brush Your Teeth Normally
Since the clear aligners can be removed, brushing and flossing is a much easier task than those patients with metal and ceramic braces. Simply, remove the aligners when brushing and flossing, and put them back on when you’re done!
They Are An Affordable Option
While all orthodontic treatment costs will vary on based on the needs of each patient, clear aligners are often comparable to investing in metal and ceramic braces.
