Why You May Need Clear Aligner Therapy

Achieving a straighter smile isn’t solely about aesthetics; it’s also about improving oral health, function, and confidence. Clear aligner therapy offers a modern solution to correct misalignments without the need for traditional metal braces. Whether you’re dealing with minor spacing issues or more complex bite concerns, aligners can provide an effective and less intrusive treatment option.

It’s often recommended in the following situations:

  • Crowded or Crooked Teeth: Aligners gently shift teeth into proper alignment.

     

  • Gaps Between Teeth: Closes spaces for a more uniform appearance.

     

  • Overbite, Underbite, or Crossbite: Corrects bite issues to improve function and prevent wear.

     

  • Relapse After Braces: Addresses minor movements that have occurred post-braces.

  • Desire for a Discreet Orthodontic Option: Ideal for those seeking a nearly invisible solution.

Clean your aligners daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear, mild soap. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Specialized cleaning products are also available.
