Sometimes teeth need help getting into an optimal position, but traditional bracket and wire braces are not for everyone. At Tosh Dental Group, we use clear aligner braces for adult patients to fix a variety of dental concerns.
Why You Might Need Clear Aligners
Have you always wished your teeth were straighter? Or did you have braces as a child and now notice things have shifted out of alignment over time? Clear aligner braces might be the right choice for you.
Our aligners are best for minor alignment concerns. They can correct many things, but if you need intense orthodontic treatment clear aligners may not be enough. These types of aligner braces work best to correct:
- Gaps in Teeth
- Crooked Teeth
- Minor Bite Concerns
- Misaligned Teeth
Clear aligner braces are a great fix for cosmetic concerns; they have a low impact on your schedule and aren’t uncomfortable for your mouth. We recommend that teenagers or those with more difficult orthodontic needs still get traditional braces with an orthodontist.
Clear aligners can also be part of a smile makeover. If you have an event where your smile matters, having a straight smile should be one of your highest priorities.
Having straight teeth also keeps your mouth healthy. Having misaligned or crooked teeth can cause infection or dangerous wear on your teeth. If you have you have crooked teeth you may notice jaw pain or wear and tear on your teeth. These issues, if left untreated, can have permanent consequences not just cosmetically, but healthwise as well.
Benefits of Clear Aligner Braces
Clear aligner braces offer many of the same benefits as traditional bracket and wire braces but without the metal hardware. Here are some advantages of clear aligners:
- Invisible Treatment: The transparent trays blend with your smile to make them less noticeable. Have confidence in your smile while you get your orthodontic treatment.
- Improved Oral Health: Clear aligners will offer you a better smile and better oral health. Treating gaps and crowding also prevents those areas from getting infected.
- Accessible Oral Hygiene: The trays simplify caring for your teeth during treatment since the trays can be easily removed. Brushing and flossing stays just as easy as always instead of getting more complicated like with traditional bracket and wire braces.
- No Dietary Restrictions: Also, there is no restriction to what you can eat because there is no fear of breaking a wire or bracket.
- Fewer Dental Visits: You also need fewer visits! No coming in for braces repair or tightening. You simply need to come in every once in a while for regular checkups to see how your smile is progressing.
- Comfortable Treatment: Because we do not tighten your braces, this treatment is also very comfortable. Your aligners will not be rubbing against your cheeks or gums either.
- Faster Results: Clear braces are typically quicker than metal braces, meaning treatment can sometimes be completed after 6-8 months. The length of treatment depends on your needs.
