Rochester Dentist Discusses the Benefits of Removable Braces

smile

Do you suffer from smile misalignment? Crooked teeth and unsightly gaps may leave you feeling self-conscious about your smile. Unfortunately, most people feel just as self-conscious about traditional orthodontics. Metal braces can be cumbersome, uncomfortable, and a bit of an eyesore. Thankfully, your Rochester dentist, Dr. Gilly Calcagno, offers a clear and removable alternative. In today’s blog, Dr. Calcagno discusses the benefits of Clear Aligner Systems removable braces.

Clear Aligner Systems

Unlike metal braces, Clear Aligner Systems employs a series of clear plastic aligners to correct your smile. Simply wear the aligners daily for the amount of time recommended 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. In most cases, the entire treatment time takes about a year.

Advantages of Removable Braces

With braces, patients must alter their diets quite a bit. Certain foods have the tendency to become stuck or even damage your orthodontic work. But with Clear Aligner Systems, patients remove the aligners before meals. Removable aligners also make brushing and flossing your teeth easier, improving your oral hygiene and keeping your smile bright. Since Clear Aligner Systems aligners are custom-made, patients don’t report the gum and cheek irritation often experienced with traditional orthodontics. The Clear Aligner Systems system also requires fewer office visits. Patients normally only need to see Dr. Calcagno about once every six weeks, saving them both time and money. But perhaps the best benefit offered by the Clear Aligner Systems system? No unsightly braces! Our aligners provide practically invisible smile correction, improving your smile without the use of embarrassing metal wires and brackets.
