For teens, smile misalignment often leads to embarrassment. Young adults struggle with their dental imperfections, but often feel too self-conscious to endure traditional orthodontics. Thankfully, Clear Aligner Systems offers teens a clear alternative to metal braces. In today’s blog, your Rochester dentist, Dr. Gilly Calcagno, provides a fun and informative quiz to help explain the benefits of the Clear Aligner Systems system.

Clear Aligner Systems Quiz Answer Key
1. True. Instead of metal braces, Clear Aligner Systems uses a series of custom-made plastic aligners. Simply wear the aligners daily for the time specified by Dr. Calcagno, typically between 20 and 22 hours a day. Approximately every two weeks you will upgrade to a new set of aligners as your teeth are gradually and gently repositioned.
2. True. Removable aligners mean patients don’t have to avoid certain foods that would damage or become stuck in traditional orthodontics.
3. True. Removable aligners also make brushing and flossing your teeth easier, improving your dental health and keeping your smile bright.
4. True. Patients rarely report the gum and cheek irritation commonly experienced with metal braces.
5. True. Patients usually only need to see Dr. Calcagno about once every six weeks. This saves teens and parents both time and money.
