Clear aligners
- Appearance:
They are made of a clear medical-grade plastic, so when you wear them, you are basically wearing nothing.
- Removable:
You can take them out when you eat, drink, brush, or floss.
This helps you keep good oral hygiene and makes it very convenient.
- Customization:
They are made from a 3D image of your mouth, so each aligner tray is made for your teeth.
They are made to fit perfectly and guide your teeth to where they need to be.
- Treatment Process:
Patients are given a set of aligners to wear, and each aligner is made to be a little different to keep shifting your teeth.
To continue the shifting process, you will be given new aligners every 1-2 weeks.
- Comfort:
Since there are no brackets or wires it means that there is far less irritation that can cause discomfort.
- Applications:
They are a great option for mild to moderate problems, like when teeth are crooked, there is not enough space between teeth, or there is overcrowding.
They are also less effective for big, complex problems when it comes to braces.
- Lifestyle-Friendly:
They are especially popular in the adult and teen community since they are so flexible and discreet.
