Poor alignment of the teeth can create numerous complications for chewing, speaking, and even confidence. There are solutions available, including clear aligners. Clear tray aligners are designed to provide teeth straightening without the pain and discomfort of traditional metal braces. They are highly reliable and effective, but they also provide exceptional benefits such as being hard to see. At Lovett Dental Cinco Ranch, we’re happy to help you determine if they are right for you.

Clear aligners are trays. These are designed specifically to fit your mouth. They put just enough pressure on your teeth to push them into the proper position over a period of time. This is the same type of teeth straightening that occurs with metal or ceramic braces. Over a period of time, the teeth shift. The clear aligner trays are designed to accommodate this slowly. You will have several trays designed for you to help the slow progression of teeth straightening.

What Are the Benefits of Clear Aligner Trays?

There is a range of benefits to clear aligners themselves. While traditional braces are still an option for many, clear aligner trays may help with a few of the common problems people associated with braces.

  • Clear aligners are hard to see. Unless you tell someone they are in, most people will not know they are there.
  • They are highly effective. Sometimes, clear aligners are more effective than traditional braces.
  • They can be used for most types of teeth straightening needs. That makes it possible for many people to use them.
  • You can take them out from time to time. Doing so allows for proper dental hygiene – you can brush and floss as you normally would.
  • There are few restrictions on what you can eat with them. Unlike metal braces, you don’t have to restrict what you eat to protect the braces.
  • Instead of tightening the metal brackets, you will have a new tray created for you at each stage of the process. Some find this a bit more comfortable.
  • They are also harder to break compared to ceramic braces. That may mean fewer trips in to see your dentist.

It is important to have a formal consultation to determine if these are the right option for your dental needs. Many people will find clear aligner trays to be a bit more expensive than other types of braces. However, they remain one of the best overall options.

Could Clear Aligner Trays Be Right for You?
