Benefits of Choosing Clear Aligners

You want straight teeth but don’t want to endure years or months in braces. We understand, which is why we offer clear aligners for discreet and comfortable dental care.

In this blog, your Madison dentist breaks down the top reasons patients choose clear aligners over braces:

7 Benefits of Clear Aligners

  1. Discreet Treatment: Clear Aligners like Invisalign® or CandidPro® don’t advertise treatment! Friends may not even notice you’re wearing clear aligners.
  2. Easier Oral Hygiene: You can clean your teeth easily by removing your CandidPro aligners, which isn’t possible with traditional braces.
  3. No Eating Restrictions: Wire and metal braces come with eating restrictions and particular cautions. Because Invisible aligners are removable, you can eat whatever you like.
  4. Smooth Plastic: CandidPro is made of soft plastic, so you’ll not have to worry about slicing your lips or cheeks on brackets.
  5. Lightweight: Clear aligners in Madison, AL, don’t weigh down your smile or feel cumbersome throughout the day.
  6. Remote Monitoring: CandidPro allows your dentist to monitor your progress without a dental appointment.
  7. Easy to Maintain: Clear aligners are simple to clean and care for. 

How Clear Aligners Work

You visit us for a consultation and oral health assessment. This appointment also allows us to learn more about you and your smile goals. We’ll discuss costs, candidacy, and let you know what to expect.

If you are a candidate for CandidPro and proceed with treatment, we will take digital impressions for your aligner models. When your aligners are ready, you start treatment.

Typically, you change aligners every few weeks to gradually move your teeth into straighter positions. After therapy, you will wear a custom retainer, as instructed by your dentist, to ensure long-term orthodontic success. Failure to wear your retainer can result in orthodontic relapse.
