4 Good Reasons to Get Teeth Aligners

If you’ve always wanted a straight smile but can’t see yourself wearing metal braces, you’ll be thrilled to know you have a far more discreet option: teeth aligners.

To see if this orthodontic treatment is right for you, call us today at 707-608-6973 to schedule a consultation. You can choose from two popular brands. If you have more complex dental issues, your dentist may recommend clear ceramic braces instead. 

In the meantime, check out some of the benefits of orthodontic aligners:

  • Work in Less Time Than Braces – It typically takes at least two years to straighten your teeth with metal braces. Aligners work faster, with most patients finishing their treatment in 12-18 months. You’ll love getting to enjoy your beautiful new smile in less time! 
  • Won’t Stand Out in Your Smile – It’s tough to enjoy smiling in metal braces. They make you feel self-conscious. That’s not a problem with aligners. They are made of transparent plastic and fit snugly over your teeth. So not too many people will even notice them. 
  • More Comfortable Treatment – Smooth plastic won’t irritate your mouth the way that metal brackets and wires can. Also since there are no wires, you won’t need any uncomfortable adjustments at your progress checkups. You may feel a slight pressure when you switch to a new set of aligners every two weeks or so, but it will go away quickly. Tip: Switch to new aligners at bedtime, and the sensation will be less noticeable. 
  • Fit More Easily Into Your Lifestyle – Unlike braces, you can remove your aligners. This means you can eat anything you’d like, even treats like popcorn. It’s also simple to brush and floss your teeth. You’ll visit our office only every six weeks or so, for a brief progress check. You can even remove aligners for special events, though you should put them in again as promptly as possible. For best results, you need to wear aligners about 22 hours a day.
