Benefits Of Clear Teeth Aligners

Dentist Blog

Do you have teeth that look crooked or have an issue with gaps? If so, your dentist might have talked to you recently about getting braces or wires installed in order to fix your mouth and restore good long-term oral health. But today, there's another option you might want to talk to your dentist about before you commit to braces and that's clear teeth aligners. Here's how clear aligners can benefit you in a number of different ways.

Clear Essentially Means Invisible to the People Around You

Let's start with one of the most obvious benefits. Clear aligners will not come with the social stigma that can sometimes be attached to braces. Clear aligners will still help fix that gap or fix those crooked teeth but you'll be able to open your mouth when smiling or speaking in public without feeling self-conscious about the fact that everyone can see your metal braces or wires. Those closest to you might still be able to spot the aligners if they know about them, but the average person on the street will likely not realize that you are currently going through a process to fix your teeth.

Teeth Aligners Can Be Removed When Eating

One of the issues with braces is that once they are on, you need to go back to the dentist if you want to get them safely removed. Braces make it difficult to eat certain foods as well, and that could lead to a change in your regular menu for the foreseeable future. But with teeth aligners, it's possible to take them out of your mouth on your own with no real issues. This means you can remove the aligners, eat whatever you want, and then brush your teeth, rinse your mouth, and put the aligners back in all by yourself.

The Ability to Take the Aligners Out of Your Mouth Will Make It Easier to Keep Them Clean

Another issue with braces is that if you do get some gunk stuck in between your teeth, it can be a huge pain to try and clean the area. Braces covered in gunk will likely make you even more uneasy about opening your mouth in public. But with teeth aligners being removable, you can run them under water and give them a full cleaning just like someone might with a set of dentures and then put your aligners back in your mouth with no issue.

Maximizing Your Smile Power

As a busy professional, my public appearance is very important to me. Networking with potential clients and business contacts is as much about the image you present as it is about what you do and what you know. I take care to look my best every day by taking special care with my hair, makeup, and clothes. But for a long time, I was embarrassed about my smile, and restricted myself to tight, closed mouth smiles to hide my yellowed, crooked teeth. Then I discovered what cosmetic dentistry could do for me. With the help of a great cosmetic dentist, I decided to have tooth whitening treatments and use corrective tooth straightening equipment. Now I have no problem flashing a big, white smile everywhere I go. You can do the same thing! Find out how cosmetic dentistry can maximize your smile power and improve your life.
