From vacation pics and formal photos to candids and selfies, there’s no shortage of camera- worthy opportunities out there. But how can you be certain that your smile is flawless and appropriate for every situation?
Teeth that are perfectly aligned benefit oral health and function as well as facial aesthetics. One of the common misconceptions is that braces or orthodontic treatments can only be done at a younger age or adolescence. While it's true that the treatment is a tad easier because the jawbones are still developing. Treatment is effective at all ages because teeth and bone continue to grow and shift throughout life.
To enable orthodontic treatments at any age, clear aligners are emerging as a highly preferred option. For those who find metal braces uncouth, clear aligners are the best option for straightening teeth without the use of conventional metal braces, both in terms of effectiveness and aesthetics.
Similar to braces, Clear Aligners are transparent trays made of a special material that are used to straighten teeth. They gently and steadily apply force to move the teeth into the desired position. Each patient receives a unique pair thanks to a digital scan. Here are some benefits of clear aligners that will benefit adults and professionals more
than the traditional braces.
Discreet treatment : The brace for clear aligners is made of a transparent plastic. Since this plastic is undetectable and seamlessly covers the teeth, you can go about your daily business without drawing attention to yourself.
Adults prefer an invisible brace over the typical and appearance of conventional braces due to the braces obvious cosmetic advantages.
Health Benefits: A clear aligner has advantages that go beyond aesthetics. Because they create concealed niches where plaque and bacteria can grow, crooked and crowded teeth are more difficult to keep clean. These can result in cavities, bad breath, chewing issues, and gum disease.
You can make them easier to clean by aligning them in a plane by straightening your smile thereby stopping all oral health problems!
Faster treatment: For working professionals with a busy lifestyle longer, time-consuming treatments become unworkable. Traditional braces take twice as long as clear aligners to work! Some treatments can be finished in just 12 weeks! The number of sets of aligners you need to wear depends on how severe your alignment is, but it is still shorter than the treatment time of conventional braces.
Convenience: You wouldn't want the additional stress of strict dietary requirements and excessive hygiene rituals in your already hectic life. Since aligners are removable, you can eat whatever you want as long as you follow your treatment plan. Apples, chocolates, and other treats are not off limits; just remember to take out your aligner before you eat.
