Clear aligners are dental trays that help you achieve a straighter smile by gradually shifting crooked teeth (malocclusions) into alignment. Unlike braces that use metal brackets and wires, aligners are clear plastic. They’re barely visible when worn, allowing you to straighten your teeth discretely.
Advantages of clear aligners include:
They are virtually invisible, making them more aesthetically pleasing than traditional braces.
They are less bulky than traditional braces and don’t use wires or brackets, so they won’t rub your lips or cheeks.
They can be removed easily for eating, brushing, and flossing.
They require fewer visits to the orthodontist.
They are more comfortable than traditional braces, as they don’t have metal brackets or wires that can cause irritation.
