Question 1

What are clear aligners?

Accepted Answer

If you’re looking to straighten your teeth but want a more aesthetic solution, consider clear aligners. Clear aligners, also known as clear braces, are a series of trays that move your teeth slowly to bring them into alignment. Treatment can include up to 30 trays, and each tray is worn for two weeks.

Question 2

What are the benefits of clear aligners over traditional braces?

Accepted Answer

Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are nearly invisible. They are comfortable, removable, and easy to clean.

Question 3

How many hours a day do clear aligners need to be worn?

Accepted Answer

Clear aligners must be worn all day and night for at least 22 hours. You can take the trays out while eating, brushing, and flossing.

Question 4

What are the benefits of getting clear aligners through my dentist?

Accepted Answer

Your dentist will provide you with a comprehensive oral exam to confirm candidacy for clear aligners. Your dentist will be available throughout the entirety of your treatment to answer your questions and concerns. Plus, you will also have routine visits with your dentist to ensure your treatment is tracking properly and your oral health is maintained.

Question 5

Why should I straighten my teeth?

Accepted Answer

Aesthetics aside, there are several oral health risks to having misaligned and crowded teeth. Misaligned teeth can lead to prematurely worn and chipped teeth, as well as stress on the jaw. Plus, bacteria can build up in hard to clean areas, which leads to cavities and gum disease. Gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss.
