Aligners have taken the orthodontic industry by storm, providing patients with an alternative to traditional metal braces for smile realignment. If you are thinking about your teeth straightening options and live in the area of Bendigo, Victoria in Australia, we invite you to speak to Drs Rebecca Easaw, Conny Qian, and Christina Shue of Clarity Dental about the many advantages of aligners.
What are ten reasons patients consider Aligners over traditional metal braces?
- Aesthetics. Aligners aligners are made of transparent plastic material, making them virtually invisible compared to traditional metal braces. This is especially beneficial for adult men and women who want a more discreet option for straightening their teeth.
- Comfort. The smooth plastic material used in Aligners eliminates the need for metal wires and brackets, which tend to cause discomfort and irritation in the mouth.
- The ability to remove the trays as needed. Unlike traditional braces, Aligners are easily removable, so our patients can take them out for eating, brushing, and flossing. This means there are absolutely no specific food restrictions, and maintaining oral hygiene is easier.
- A customized treatment plan from start to finish. Each set of Aligners is custom-made to fit the patient’s teeth, providing a more effective and precise treatment plan.
- Fewer office visits to talk to your dentist or have adjustments made. Patients typically only need to visit the team at Clarity Dental every four to six weeks with Aligners , compared to traditional braces requiring more frequent adjustments and appointments.
- No concerns about metal allergies or sensitivities. Some patients may have allergies or even sensitivities to the metal used in traditional braces, making Aligners a safer and more comfortable alternative to more conventional methods.
- Shorter treatment time. On average, Aligners treatment takes one year to 18 months to straighten teeth compared to traditional braces, which can take anywhere from one to three years.
- Minimal impact on daily activities. With no bulky metal brackets or wires to worry about, patients can continue their normal daily activities and eat their favourite foods with little concern.
- Reduced risk of tooth and gum damage. Traditional braces can sometimes cause damage to the enamel of teeth or irritate the gums, while Aligners aligners are very smooth and gentle on the mouth.
- Improved self-confidence during treatment. With Aligners’s nearly invisible appearance, patients can feel more confident and less self-conscious about their orthodontic treatment compared to traditional metal braces.
