Advantages of using clear aligners instead of braces

Invisible orthodontics is a way to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing that you are wearing braces. Clear aligners are custom made of thin, clear plastic that conforms to your teeth and helps correct misaligned teeth. They are changed every few weeks until the treatment is complete, to exert the necessary pressure on the teeth.

1. Aesthetics: The aligners are practically invisible at more than 0.5 m. They are also not noticeable when speaking, this allows them to be used in social events, public works, etc. They are the best option after lingual brackets (which are the only 100% aesthetic option).
   
   . 2. Comfort: There are no discomforts that can appear in the use of brackets such as little wounds or sores on the lip, tongue or cheeks. This is because they do not protrude from the tooth, but fit completely over the teeth and have a smooth, polished surface.
   There is no pain, but it is normal to feel the pressure of the.
   
   3. Ease of use in teeth with crowns, bridges, teeth with enamel problems such as amylogenesis imperfecta.
   
   4. Hygiene: the aligners are removed for tooth brushing and cleaned separately, facilitating hygiene and maintenance. There are no decalcification problems in the enamel as could happen with conventional orthodontics and it improves periodontal health.
   
   5. Removable: The patient can remove the device, although they must always respect the indications of time of use of their orthodontist, generally 22 hours a day. If for some reason she needs to wear them less hours one day he must make up for it in the following days.
   
   6. Visiting time. Cabinet time decreases because the appliance is simpler and it is not necessary to activate it as it happens with brackets.
   
   7. Preview of the results in a specialized program in which the patient can see how and how much each of their teeth will move.
   
   8. Decrease in bruxism. Placing plastic between the teeth deprograms the jaw and prevents bruxism, although this is not a definitive measure for this problem.
   
   9. Whitening. The same splints (as long as they no longer have attachments) can be used to whiten teeth.

Clear aligners have a number of advantages over traditional metal braces.

• They can be removed for eating, brushing and flossing, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.
• They also don’t cause any food to get stuck around your teeth, which is great for people with sensitive teeth or heightened gag reflexes.
• And last but not least, they are less noticeable than metal braces and can be used by people who want a more discreet solution for their smile.

In conclusion, clear aligners offer many advantages over traditional metal braces: they are invisible, more comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing.
