Many patients who need to have orthodontic treatment do not want to wear traditional metal braces. Whether you are a professional adult who needs to maintain a certain image at work, or you are a teen who doesn’t want to wear a mouthful of metal to school every day, we understand why metal braces aren’t always desirable. That is why we offer clear aligners like Invisalign here at Dental Care of Plano.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a system of trays, similar to whitening trays, that fit over your teeth. Each tray exerts just a small amount of pressure on teeth, getting them to move to a new position. The next aligner moves teeth just a bit more, and so on, until the optimal position is achieved. This entire system is created by a computer, with carefully designed trays to help each individual tooth move as much or as little as it needs to.
Why Choose Invisalign Clear Aligners?
The biggest reason to choose these over metal braces is that they are totally invisible. Another great benefit is that they allow you to eat and brush your teeth without metal brackets in the way. This type of orthodontics treatment is also known to be faster, getting teeth aligned in about a year for most patients. Finally, because there are fewer dentist visits involved with this system, this type of treatment can cost less overall than traditional treatments.

Clear aligners such as Invisalign and Clear Correct are not for everyone. If you have severely crooked teeth, a misaligned bite, teeth that need to be rotated or moved vertically, or other issues, then metal braces may be a better option. The best way to find out if clear aligners would work for you is to come in for a consultation. Contact our office at Dental Care of Plano to get started.
