CLEAR ALIGNERS

Overview

Clear aligners (sometimes called clear braces) are an alternative to traditional braces and are designed to help guide teeth into their proper position. Similar to traditional braces, clear aligners use a gradual force to control tooth movement, but without metal wires or brackets.

Benefits of Clear Aligners

Invisible aligners are a good alternative for patients who want a straighter smile, but do not want to wear traditional braces. Additionally, aligners are beneficial for patients with previous orthodontic treatment who want to make minor corrections to their smile. There are several advantages to using clear aligners:

• Clear aligners are removable so it is easier to brush and floss after meals
• Clear aligners are easier to keep clean
• Clear aligners are more comfortable and less likely to irritate the gums and cheeks
