What Are Clear Aligners And Why Do I Need One?

Misaligned or crooked teeth usually cause many issues for an individual socially and for everyday function and can make interacting with others difficult due to embarrassment. The typical solution for this problem is dental braces to help align the teeth back into the correct position. Clear aligners are an alternative to traditional braces as they are a clear plastic material.

Why Not Just Use Traditional Braces?

Whilst traditional braces may be an effective method the results can often be half and half, with some patients noting that their teeth being to move back after the braces are removed.

Along with that, the wires and the color of traditional braces do little to help the patient’s embarrassment, they are often less comfortable, easily trap lots of food and cannot be removed.

People are then often afraid of taking the leap to fix their crooked teeth due to the unpleasant options they have available. Which can lead to further feelings of regret or embarrassment as they aren’t able to smile with confidence due to their teeth.

The Difference For Clear Aligners

To start with, clear aligners are clear which creates a more discreet look, therefore patients are much happier and more confident to use and smile with them as usual.

This clear look can increase confidence while smiling throughout the whole process rather than trying to hide them. Clear Aligners are more convenient to use as there are no wires and are simple to just remove when eating, brushing teeth, flossing or drinking.

Recent improvements within technology have made it able for clear aligners to fix more issues involving misalignments. Because each aligner is created for each individual patient, they can be adjusted to fix crowding, open bites, overbites, underbites and diastema.

Clear Aligners are creating fewer complications which gives patients fewer visits to the dentist, making a much happy outcome all around.
