What Are the Advantages of Clear Dental Aligners?

ClearCorrect clear dental aligners allow you to get the treatment you need without the worry and headaches that often come with metal braces. At The Center For Holistic Dental Medicine—Glenn A. MacFarlane, DMD in Red Bank, New Jersey, we provide patients with all the information they need to make wise decisions about their dental needs. Clear dental aligners offer a wealth of advantages when it comes to straightening teeth.

Easy to remove and replace

One of the biggest advantages of clear dental aligners is that they can be removed and replaced in a snap. Take them out when it’s time to eat or brush your teeth—no more trapped food or inability to eat the foods you love. After you have brushed and flossed your teeth, simply snap them back in for a smile that is fresh and clean.

Almost invisible

Another advantage of clear dental aligners is that they are almost invisible. Only a small portion of the aligner tray is noticeable on the front of your teeth. Your smile will look natural, and you can talk without any disruption. You can go about your daily activities without worrying about noticeable dental appliances.

Before & After Results of Patients

Less damage to soft tissues

Clear dental aligner trays are smooth, unlike metal braces with wires and rough edges. They will not cut into your gums, tongue, or cheeks. Soft tissue damage is common with metal braces and retainers. Opting for clear aligner trays to straighten your teeth will minimize this damage.

Easy to clean and maintain

Because they are easy to remove, they are also incredibly easy to clean. When you take the trays out to eat, use a soft bristle toothbrush to remove debris and build-up. Rinse them thoroughly before putting them back in place. Regular visits to your dentist will ensure your aligners remain in good condition while they are in use.

Strong and durable

Clear aligner trays are incredibly strong and durable. They are made from hard plastic, which allows them to fit firmly on your teeth so gradual adjustments can be made. Clear aligner trays will not crack, chip, or split and can withstand the pressure you place on your teeth as you go about your day. They are designed to last much longer than the two weeks they will actually be used.

There is less risk of damage to your teeth

Metal braces and the adhesive used to attach them to teeth can cause irreparable damage. The metal brackets and wires can also wear away the thin, extremely delicate layer of enamel. Clear aligner trays are designed without rough edges and don’t need adhesive to hold them in place.

Convenient

Clear aligner trays are a safe, effective, clear and extremely gentle way to straighten teeth. In Red Bank, NJ, Dr. MacFarlane and the team at The Center For Holistic Dental Medicine – Glenn A. MacFarlane, DMD understand the level of convenience their patients look for when it comes to dental treatment. They have all the information you need to make a choice that works for you.
