Rochester Dentist Offers Smile Correction for Teens

smilingcouple

As a parent with a teenager, you understand the awkwardness and self-consciousness that comes with being a teen. Having a smile riddled with dental imperfections, such as crooked teeth or unsightly gaps, doesn’t help at all. While braces would correct the issue, many teens fear the metal brackets and wires will be embarrassing and only make things worse. Thankfully, your Rochester dentist, Dr. Gilly Calcagno, offers a clear alternative to traditional orthodontics. In today’s blog, Dr. Calcagno explains how Clear Aligner Systems provides clear and comfortable smile correction.

Clear Smile Correction

Traditional orthodontics relies on metal brackets and wires to address dental misalignment. Clear Aligner Systems, however, uses sets of clear plastic aligners. The aligners are worn each day for between 20 and 22 hours. Approximately every two weeks, your child will upgrade to a new set of aligners as his/her teeth are gradually and gently repositioned. The entire treatment time takes between 12 and 18 months.

Additional Benefits of Clear Aligner Systems

Along with being inconspicuous, Clear Aligner Systems offers a host of additional benefits. Since the aligners are custom-made for comfort and accuracy, patients rarely report the gum and cheek irritation often experienced with metal braces. The aligners can also be removed before meals, so your teen doesn’t have to alter their diet or avoid certain foods. Removable aligners will also make brushing and flossing teeth easier, improving oral hygiene and keeping smiles bright. Finally, Clear Aligner Systems requires fewer office visits than many orthodontic alternatives. In most cases, patients only need to see their Rochester MN cosmetic dentist once every six weeks. This saves our patients and their families both time and money.
