Teeth Alignment - Modern Approach To Attain It!
In contrast to traditional braces which typically involve the use of a network of connected brackets and wires in order to enhance teeth mobility, clear or invisible aligners is a relatively new approach when it comes to aligning teeth and involves the use of a number of custom-made tight-fitting retainers which can slip over your teeth easily.
Clear orthodontic aligners are used for patients who have any type of malocclusions. Moreover, since clear aligners are custom made for a tighter fit, they are more suited for adults and late teenagers.
Treatment Process-
1. A digital scan is done for your upper and lower arches.
2. Then your specialist orthodontist will make the treatment plan keeping in mind your treatment goals/concern.
3. Next appointment, your orthodontist will analyze and fix the attachments that aid in achieving the optimal result with the aligners.
4. Every 10-12 days you will change to a new aligner, which will gradually move your teeth to the desired position.
Duration of treatment: Treatment time with clear aligners is the same as with fixed braces.
Advantages-
Advantages of using clear orthodontic aligners over traditional braces include:
- You won't be having a "metal mouth" as with metal braces
- Can be easily removed before brushing or flossing
- Maintains good long-term oral health
- Helps give a better and brighter smile
