Advantages of aligners over braces!
People do love clear aligners but there are yet
certain patients who opt for metal braces. Traditional braces and clear
aligners are two popular methods used to straighten teeth gradually. Both
of these are FDA-approved appliances that yield stunning results.
While
choosing between clear aligners or braces one should keep in mind certain
factors like the level of correction required, age, etc.
How does a clear aligner work?
Clear
aligners, also known as invisible braces, are custom-made mouthpieces molded
from a medically graded plastic that apply even pressure to teeth, guiding them
to the desired position. Clear aligners are a discreet alternative to
traditional metal braces.
The benefits of Clear aligners over Metal
braces!
·
Appearance:-
unlike metal braces, clear plastic aligners closely fit the patient’s teeth and are
nearly invisible from a distance. A discreet style is the main reason why people
choose clear transparent aligners to wear.
·
Comfort: -
Clear aligners fit snugly against the tooth and don’t cause any cuts, ulcers or harm to the underlying gums like braces do. While patients do experience discomfort in
the beginning but later get used to the aligners.
·
Maintenance of Oral Hygiene: - With aligners maintaining oral hygiene is much easier as the
patients can simply remove the mouthpiece and brush then floss normally. No
need for any lengthy and challenging dental care process as with traditional
braces.
·
Food Restriction: - there are certain food restrictions for the patients wearing braces they cannot enjoy foods like nuts, toffies, popcorn, and bagels to prevent
damage or irritation. Patients who are wearing aligners can easily enjoy
any type of food as the aligners are removable, hence they don’t have such food
restrictions.
·
Follow-ups:- clear aligner patients have fewer follow-ups
i.e. only every 4-6months unlike the
patients having braces who have regular monthly follow-ups
