Enjoy a Straight, Confident Smile with Convenient and Removable Clear Aligners
Misaligned or crowded teeth affect several aspects of your smile. From insecurity to poor oral hygiene and jaw pain, there are many reasons to consider orthodontic care. Good news! Metal braces aren’t the only path to a straight, confident smile. Irvington Dental provides clear aligners in Streamwood, Illinois, as a comfortable and convenient alternative to traditional braces. These nearly invisible, removable trays gently guide your teeth into alignment, helping you easily achieve a beautifully straight smile.
How do clear aligners work?
Traditional braces use metal wires and brackets to straighten your smile. These metal appliances apply gradual pressure on your teeth to move them to the desired position. Traditional braces work, but not everyone is open to wearing metal in their mouths.
Clear aligners are an impressive solution for achieving a beautiful smile with minimal fuss. The aligners are created from clear plastic that’s barely visible when worn. Whether you are a busy executive, celebrity, or someone self-conscious about metal braces, clear aligners allow you to maintain your natural appearance during treatment.
The aligners are custom-fabricated based on your personalized treatment plan. They put controlled pressure on your teeth, moving them to a straighter, healthier position. Clients go through a sequence of aligners, changing them every 7-10 days. Discipline is also key during treatment. Although removable, wear your aligners for at least 20-22 hours daily to stay on track with your treatment plan.
What are the benefits of clear aligners?
Many patients are pleased to discover they can straighten teeth without metal wires and brackets. Clear aligners offer numerous benefits.
Some include:
- Removable convenience: Metal braces come with a long list of forbidden foods. Cleaning your teeth around the metal appliances is also a nightmare. Because clear aligners are removable, no foods are off-limits. Besides, you can stay on top of your oral hygiene because you brush and floss your teeth with ease.
- Discretion: Clear aligners are barely noticeable when worn. This allows you to straighten your teeth without worrying about conspicuous metal.
- Comfort: Metal braces have sharp edges that irritate gums and cheeks. Clear aligners are made from smooth plastic material that is gentle on your soft tissues. Besides, the aligners apply gradual pressure and fit snugly for maximum comfort.
- Fewer dental visits: Metal braces require frequent dental visits to adjust the wires and brackets, usually every 3-4 weeks. Clear aligners limit your visits to the dentist to once every 6-8 weeks.
Am I too old to straighten my teeth?
If you didn’t have the chance to straighten your teeth as a child or teen, you might feel like that boat has sailed. Listen, friend. There’s no expiration date on achieving a confident, beautiful smile. Clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable way to straighten teeth at any age without the hassle of metal braces. Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, you deserve to love your smile, and modern orthodontics makes it easier than ever.
