A straight smile is attractive and benefits oral health. If you have gaps, crowded, or uneven teeth, you may have considered orthodontic treatment to straighten your smile. The main drawback with teeth straightening for most people is wearing braces. Having metal brackets and wires on your teeth can be embarrassing and uncomfortable. The solution is clear aligners, which make orthodontic treatment more discreet and comfortable.
At Liberty Lake Smile Source, we offer in-house clear aligners to straighten teeth at our dental center in Liberty Lake, WA.
CLEAR ALIGNERS VS. METAL BRACES
Both clear aligners and traditional metal braces can achieve similar results. They use gentle pressure to shift teeth into the desired position, aligners are customized to fit over teeth, and braces use wires and brackets to move teeth positions. For severe malocclusions, braces can be the best option to change and adjust the bite alignment. However, for many people with mild to moderate misaligned teeth, both aligners and braces can offer similar results in about the same treatment time.
When it comes to clear aligners versus metal braces, aligners have many benefits for patients. Some of the reasons our patients choose aligners vs metal braces include:
- Discreet appearance
- More comfortable to wear
- No food restrictions
- Aligners can be removed to brush and floss teeth
- Fewer visits to the dentist/orthodontist
