CLEAR ALIGNERS

There are several reasons why you should consider orthodontic treatment:

Improve dental health: Orthodontic treatment can help to correct misaligned teeth and improve the overall alignment of the jaw, which can help to prevent dental issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth wear.
Improve function: Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain, and they can also help to improve the function of the teeth and jaw, making it easier to eat and speak.
Prevent future problems: Early orthodontic treatment can help to prevent future dental and jaw problems by correcting misaligned teeth and jaws while the patient is still growing
Correct speech problems: Misaligned teeth and jaw issues can sometimes cause speech impediments, and orthodontic treatment can help to correct these problems.
Enhance appearance: Straightening teeth can greatly improve the appearance of a smile, giving people the confidence to smile more often.

Overall, orthodontic treatment can greatly improve a person's dental health, appearance, and overall quality of life.

Clear aligners or invisible braces are types of orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. The aligners are custom-made for each patient using advanced computer-imaging technology, and they are designed to gently move teeth into the desired position over time.

During the treatment process, patients will receive a series of aligners that they will need to wear for about 20-22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks, at which point it will be replaced with the next aligner in the series. As the patient progresses through the series of aligners, their teeth will gradually shift into the desired position. It is important for patients to be committed to wearing the aligners as prescribed and to attend all follow-up appointments in order for the treatment to be successful.

There are many brands of clear aligners. The most well-known is Invisalign. Others include ClearCorrect and SureSmile just to name a few.
