Are Clear Aligners Right For You?

Friday, October 13, 2023 , Uncategorized

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made orthodontic devices that are designed to gradually shift your teeth into the right position. Since they are nearly invisible and are removable, they are a popular choice. You might be wondering if clear aligners are right for you. In this blog post, we help you to make an informed decision as they are great for some, but not designed for everyone.

Ideal Candidates for Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are suitable for people with orthodontic issues like:

-Mild to Moderate Misalignment: Clear aligners are known to be effective in treating mild to moderate cases of crooked or crowded teeth.
-Spacing Issues: If you have gaps or spaces between your teeth, clear aligners can help shift your teeth to close the gap.
-Overbites, Underbites, ad Crossbites: Clear aligners can address these bite alignment issues in many cases, but they are not sufficient for everyone.
