Unlike traditional teeth straightening techniques, clear aligners are made of clear resin meaning that they are practically invisible when in place. With clear aligners achieving the smile of your dreams does not have to be a big deal. In fact, it barely has to impact your day-to-day life at all.
Treatment Process
Your dentist will first take an impression of your teeth to check whether they are suitable for straightening using the clear aligner system. Once it has been confirmed that you are suitable for the treatment you will be provided with a detailed treatment plan.
So, what are the benefits of choosing clear aligners over other teeth straightening treatments.
No Unsightly Metal Brackets – If you are looking to straighten your teeth but want to ensure that no one else will know, clear aligners are for you! When the aligners are in your mouth no one else will know you are in the process of straightening your teeth.
Removable for Important Events – This means that if you have a job interview, a wedding, or an important family event you can briefly remove the aligners. This means you will not need to worry about unfortunate photos of your teeth straighteningprocess appearing for years to come.
Removable for improved oral hygiene – Another reason being able to remove your aligners can be useful is to ensure that you can thoroughly clean your aligners, teeth, and gums. You will need to brush your teeth after every meal prior to replacing your aligners and use interdental cleaning aids daily. Your dentistwill also advise you of the best solution to use to keep your aligners looking their best. With wire fixed braces it can be difficult and time consuming to clean braces thoroughly.
Eat all your favourite foods – You do not have to worry about breaking brackets or wires when you eat certain foods, such as popcorn or harder-to-eat items. Clear aligners are removed when you eat and drink and this means you can continue to eat a full and varied diet including all your favourite foods without fear.
Clear aligners are comfortable to wear – You will not experience mouth sores or major discomfort while wearing clear aligners. Two common complaints made by people who wear wire braces. When wearing clear aligners, it will take a couple of weeks or so to get used to the feeling of having something on your
teeth throughout the day, but after that there should be no discomfort.
