What are Clear Aligners?
Clear Aligners are an orthodontic system that has revolutionized the way we move teeth. Using clear plastic trays that gradually align your teeth, Clear Aligners work to discreetly correct defects in your smile. The clear trays make it almost impossible to tell you are wearing them. You can remove these aligners at your convenience, allowing you to eat and clean your teeth. Because of this, it is easier to maintain a higher level of dental hygiene than with traditional wire braces.
As another added benefit, treatment with Clear Aligners typically takes less time than traditional braces, meaning you can often achieve a straighter smile in even less time.
If you are searching for a straighter smile, Clear Aligners in Nederland, TX, is a great option available to you. Please contact our Nederland dental office today at (409) 746-5765 to schedule your Clear Aligners consultation.
The length of your treatment depends on how much your teeth need to move. After an initial smile evaluation, we can give you a better estimate of your treatment time. It is important to remember that everyone is different, and treatment times can change or vary significantly from one person to the next.
Which dental conditions do clear aligners address?
In most cases, Clear Aligners can treat all of the same conditions as traditional orthodontics. However, Clear Aligners are best for mild or moderate orthodontic problems. If your smile needs straightening and you have basic concerns such as a slight overbite or small gaps between your teeth, Clear Aligners can likely correct these problems.
If you have a severe condition or complication, your smile may be better suited for traditional orthodontics. In that case, we can refer you to a qualified dental partner who can.
