Your smile is one of the first features another person notices about you. Having pearly whites that you can feel confident with can help you appear younger, more professional, and friendlier. If you have been interested in correcting your misaligned smile, the team at Cedar Dental in Cedar Rapids, IA, may be able to help you do this with clear aligners. In today’s blog, we’re here to talk about the benefits of this alternative to metal braces.
Clear Aligners Address Various Concerns
Clear aligners are an orthodontic option that can help correct problems including overcrowding, spacing problems, misaligned bites, and more. You will first need a consultation with your dentist where they will examine your smile and determine if this is a good option for your needs. Patients with mild to moderate misalignment concerns will likely be approved for this treatment. A series of trays will be created to gradually shift your teeth into the correct position. If you have more severe spacing issues, TMJ, or other oral health concerns, your dentist may recommend another option.
Discreet Trays May Offer More Comfort
Clear aligners may offer several advantages over braces for patients who want to correct their smiles. One significant reason that patients enjoy clear aligners is that they are more comfortable than traditional metal braces. The brackets and wires used with braces can often be uncomfortable and you may not be able to eat all of your favorite foods. With our more discreet option, you will be able to remove the aligners when eating or brushing your teeth. This can make the process more comfortable and convenient for many patients. Instead of visiting your dentist every few weeks for adjustments and band changes, you will change your aligners to the next set as instructed by your dentist. You will continue seeing your dentist regularly to ensure the process is continuing correctly.
Feel Confident With This Virtually Invisible Option
The aligners are made of a BPA free material that is practically invisible to others. This means that you can feel confident knowing that others cannot see the aligners. Many patients choose clear aligners over braces for this reason. While braces are effective at correcting many issues, older teenagers or adults needing this treatment may put off orthodontic treatment because they do not want braces to disrupt their smiles. If you are interested in other ways to improve the appearance of your pearly whites, we also offer cosmetic treatments including professional teeth whitening, bonding, and more to conceal imperfections.
