Do you want to straighten your teeth but fear the ridicule you could suffer from wearing metal braces? If so, Clear Aligner Systems may be a good option for you. Featuring clear aligners that don’t distract from your teeth, Clear Aligner Systems strips orthodontic treatment of the embarrassment that has come to be associated with it. To learn more about these adult braces, read below as your Rochester MN dentist, Dr. Calcagno, answers your most frequently asked questions about Clear Aligner Systems.
How Does Clear Aligner Systems Work?
The Clear Aligner Systems system uses a series of clear aligners to reposition teeth. Patients who choose to straighten their teeth with Clear Aligner Systems will receive multiple aligners through which they must progress to arrive at the end result of their treatments. On average, patients tend to switch aligners about every two weeks. Changing between aligners takes away the need for visiting the dentist to have braces tightened or adjusted.
How Discrete Are Adult Braces?
First and foremost, the aligners are clear, which is a large improvement over the eye-catching metal wires and brackets. Teeth remain the focus of the smile, giving patients a boost in confidence and the ability to smile without embarrassment. However, Clear Aligner Systems takes discretion a step further. The clear aligners created by Clear Aligner Systems are removable, meaning they will not take over mealtimes. Patients can simply remove their aligners prior to their meals and eat from a much larger menu than patients who wear metal braces.
Who Can Wear Clear Aligner Systems?
Clear Aligner Systems can correct a variety of orthodontic problems including overbites, underbites, crooked teeth, gaps, and more. The system is designed with adults in mind, although older teens may also qualify to wear Clear Aligner Systems.
