Clear Aligners: The Discreet and Comfortable Way to Straighten Your Teeth at Braces and Faces Dental Clinic
At Braces and Faces Dental Clinic, we understand that not everyone wants traditional braces. That’s why we offer clear aligners, a modern, nearly invisible orthodontic solution that straightens teeth comfortably and discreetly. Whether you’re an adult or a teen looking for an alternative to metal braces, aligners provide an effective way to achieve a perfectly aligned smile without compromising your appearance.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays designed to gradually shift teeth into their correct positions. Unlike traditional braces, aligners have no brackets or wires, making them more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Each set of aligners is worn for about 1-2 weeks, applying gentle pressure to move teeth in small increments until the desired alignment is achieved.
Who Can Benefit from Clear Aligners?
Aligners are suitable for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues, including:
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite, underbite, and crossbite
- Misaligned or crooked teeth
