Advantages of AlignerDent
Clear aligners, have become a popular choice for orthodontic treatment. They offer numerous advantages over traditional metal braces. Here are some of the key benefits of clear aligners
Aesthetics
Clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a discreet option for teeth straightening. Clear aligners are made from transparent plastic, making them less noticeable than traditional metal braces. This is particularly appealing to adults and teenagers who are conscious about their appearance.
Comfort
The smooth plastic material of clear aligners is less likely to irritate the mouth compared to metal brackets and wires. Clear aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth, reducing the risk of discomfort and irritation to the gums and cheeks often caused by metal braces.
Convenience
Clear aligners are removable, allowing for easier maintenance of oral hygiene and flexibility in eating. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners can be removed when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This means you can maintain your regular oral hygiene routine and enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.
Minimal Disruption to Daily Life
Treatment with clear aligners generally involves fewer office visits and shorter appointments. Clear aligners often require less frequent visits to the orthodontist for adjustments. Typically, patients receive multiple sets of aligners at once and change them every one to two weeks as directed.
Predictable Results
Clear aligners are designed using advanced technology, allowing for precise treatment planning and predictable outcomes. The treatment plan for clear aligners is created using digital scans and 3D imaging technology. This allows orthodontists to map out the entire treatment process from start to finish, giving patients a clear idea of what to expect and the expected duration of treatment.
Improved Oral Hygiene
Removable aligners facilitate better oral hygiene practices, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease during treatment. Since clear aligners can be taken out, you can brush and floss your teeth without the obstruction of braces. This helps in maintaining better oral hygiene and reduces the likelihood of plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease during the treatment period.
Fewer Dietary Restrictions
Patients can continue to enjoy their favorite foods and drinks without the worry of damaging their orthodontic appliances. With traditional braces, patients need to avoid certain hard, sticky, or chewy foods that can damage the brackets and wires. Clear aligners eliminate these dietary restrictions as they are removed during meals.
Safety
Clear aligners are made from medical-grade materials and are free from harmful substances like BPA. Clear aligners are made from medical-grade polyurethane resin, ensuring they are safe and free from harmful chemicals such as bisphenol-A (BPA).
Suitable for Various Cases
Clear aligners can effectively treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, from mild to moderate cases of misalignment. Clear aligners can address many common orthodontic issues, including crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. They are suitable for both adults and teenagers.
Fewer Emergencies
Without brackets and wires, there are fewer chances of orthodontic emergencies, such as broken brackets or poking wires. Traditional braces can sometimes cause emergencies like broken brackets or protruding wires that require immediate orthodontic attention. Clear aligners eliminate these issues, leading to fewer unexpected visits to the orthodontist.
By choosing clear aligners, patients can enjoy a more comfortable, convenient, and aesthetically pleasing orthodontic treatment experience.
