Clear Aligners Create Modern Options to Braces

Clear aligners are one great option for those who want straight teeth without the look of braces. Clear aligners gently push teeth into their proper placement as you wear them daily and trade out trays every couple of weeks. They can be used by both teens and adults and are barely noticeable by others, keeping your orthodontic work private.

Clear Aligners vs Braces

The choice between clear aligners and braces isn't always obvious. Clear aligners are removable so you take them out to eat and brush or floss your teeth while braces remain in your mouth for the entire treatment. You must wear clear aligners 22 hours a day to see results so they require dedication. Both achieve similar results although the time to get straight teeth varies and depends on each case.

Determining the Brand of Clear Aligner

Clear aligners come in several different brands and the one you choose can depend on the orthodontist’s preference or cost. It can also depend on what insurance pays for one brand vs. another. It pays to look at all the factors to determine which clear aligner brand is right for you or your child.

Clear Aligners Effectiveness

Clear aligners have been used for more than 15 years with good results. They straighten teeth, close gaps, and can fix bite issues. The process is done in three phases. The first is to create space for teeth to move. The second phase is to start moving the teeth into their correct positions. The third phase is to make small adjustments to create a new, perfect smile.
