A Great Way To Straighten Your Teeth
Would you love to straighten your teeth but have been hesitant to learn more about orthodontic treatment because you are not interested in metal braces? While traditional metal braces are still a wonderful orthodontic treatment option, there are other popular treatments available. One treatment in particular is clear aligners. Continue reading to learn more about this common treatment and how it can bring big changes to your smile.
What are Clear Aligners?
Long gone are the days when traditional metal braces were the only orthodontic treatment option available. Many adults have been postponing learning about orthodontic treatments because they don’t realize there is another, more discreet option available. Clear aligners are customized trays that slowly transition the teeth into proper alignment. Before treatment begins, patients are able to see a digital rendering of their teeth before, during, and after treatment.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
There are a number of benefits that patients appreciate when choosing clear aligners. The most common benefit is that the clear aligners are removable. When eating, drinking, or cleaning your teeth, you are expected to remove the clear aligner trays. This eliminates food restrictions that are common with traditional metal braces. Patients appreciate eating their favorite foods while still receiving orthodontic treatment. Removable trays also make it easy to brush and floss your teeth as normal. We will provide instructions on how to properly clean your aligners.
Patients will receive a series of aligners when treatment begins, and we will instruct them on when to change out the trays. This limits the number of in-office visits required, making this treatment convenient for our busy patients. Additionally, the overall treatment time is typically shorter than for traditional metal braces.
If you are interested in learning more about clear aligners or have additional questions, be sure to contact our office, which is located in Chesterfield, MI, to schedule an appointment. We look forward to helping you on your journey to straight teeth.
