Having poorly spaced teeth can be frustrating. You may not like showing off your smile because your teeth are overcrowded or there are visible gaps between them. In addition to this affecting your appearance, misalignment can also cause difficulty with speech, chewing, and more. Traditional braces can help address many of these problems, but they may not be a preferred choice for patients because the brackets and wires can be obvious to others. Your team at Greenview Family Dentistry in Rochester, MN, offers clear aligners that can help straighten your smile without the need for braces. In today’s blog, we’re here to talk about how this method can help you.
Come In For A Checkup & Consultation First

This is a good opportunity for you to schedule your biannual cleaning and examination to check for cavities and other common oral health problems. When you come in for your consultation for clear aligners, your dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums to make sure this is a good option for your needs. This alternative to braces can help address several smile concerns, including poor spacing, overcrowding, and more. After being approved for this method, your dentist will take an impression of your oral cavity to create your custom series of aligner trays.
This Braces Alternative Can Help Teens And Adults
Clear aligners are available for teenage and adult patients. It’s generally recommended that orthodontic treatment begins around the age of seven years old. However, if you were unable to begin treatment, it’s never too late to start. Teenager may seek this discreet option instead of braces because the trays are virtually invisible to others. Instead of needing colorful bands and metal brackets, the clear trays are worn every day to help shift their teeth.

Since the trays are more discreet and removable, you can feel more confident and comfortable throughout treatment.
