Aligner is a treatment used for teeth straightening, just like conventional metal bracket-and-wire braces. However, it is a clear, invisible option that allows patients to improve their smiles without hiding behind appliances or wires. At Clarity Dental, we provide Aligners as an alternative to traditional orthodontia for both teenagers and adults.
Six reasons why Aligner is a popular teeth straightening choice
Drs Rebecca Easaw, Conny Qian, and Christina Shue of Bendigo, Victoria, believe that Aligner is popular for many reasons. Some of the advantages this treatment has when compared to other teeth straightening choices include:
- Improved aesthetics. One of the main reasons why Aligner is a popular choice for teeth straightening is its almost invisible appearance. Unlike traditional braces, which use metal brackets and wires to shift teeth into place, Aligner uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to fit comfortably over your teeth. This allows patients to improve their smiles without feeling self-conscious or embarrassed about their appearance during treatment.
- Comfort and convenience. Aligners are made from a smooth, lightweight plastic material designed to fit snugly over your teeth. This makes them more comfortable to wear than traditional braces, which can cause discomfort or irritation due to the brackets and wires rubbing against the inside of your mouth. Additionally, these clear tray aligners can be easily removed for activities such as eating, drinking, and brushing teeth, making it a more convenient option for busy individuals.
- Customized treatment plan. With Aligner, your dentist will use advanced 3D technology to create a custom treatment plan for you. This means that each set of clear aligner trays is specifically created to gradually shift your teeth into their correct positions over time. This personalized approach to treatment ensures better results and a more comfortable patient experience.
- Shorter treatment times. Aligner treatments typically take less time than traditional braces, with most treatments lasting 12-18 months. Depending on the severity of your case, this time frame may be even shorter. Because you will switch to a new set of clear aligners every one to two weeks, you will have fewer visits to the dentist for adjustments.
- Easy maintenance and oral hygiene. Maintaining proper oral hygiene is crucial during your orthodontic treatment. With traditional metal braces, cleaning around the brackets and wires can be challenging, making it harder to keep your teeth clean and healthy. However, with Aligner, you can simply remove the clear aligners to brush and floss your teeth as you would normally. This makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment.
- Suitable for a wide range of cases. Aligner is ideal for treating various orthodontic issues, including overcrowding and spacing between teeth, crossbites, overbites, and underbites. This makes it a versatile option for many individuals who want to improve the appearance and function of their smile.
