Can You Really Get Straight Teeth Without Braces? The Truth About Clear Aligners

Do you dream of a straight smile, but the thought of metal braces makes you uncomfortable? You are not alone. Many are interested in whether there are alternative ways to straighten teeth without using traditional braces. The good news is that yes, this possibility exists, and one of the most popular and effective options is clear aligners. At Ames Dentistry in Xenia and Wilmington, Ohio, we are pleased to offer our patients a modern solution for teeth straightening with 

ClearCorrect™ Invisible Aligners

What are clear aligners?

ClearCorrect™ Invisible Aligners provide a comfortable and convenient alternative to traditional braces, allowing you to confidently achieve the beautifully aligned teeth you desire. These aligners are custom-made and look like transparent trays that fit snugly over your teeth.

How do clear aligners work?

Unlike braces that are attached to the teeth and adjusted by an orthodontist, clear aligners are removable. You will wear them for most of the day and night, removing them only for eating, drinking (except water), brushing your teeth, and flossing. Every few weeks, you will switch to a new set of aligners that will gradually shift your teeth into the correct position.

Benefits of clear aligners:

  1. Invisibility: One of the main advantages of ClearCorrect™ is their virtually complete invisibility. This makes them an ideal choice for teenagers and adults who want to straighten their teeth without drawing attention to orthodontic treatment.
  2. Comfort: ClearCorrect™ are made of a smooth material, making them more comfortable compared to metal braces, which can rub against the cheeks and gums.
  3. Convenience: Since the aligners are removable, you can eat and drink whatever you want without the restrictions associated with braces. It is also easier to maintain oral hygiene, as you can remove the aligners for brushing and flossing.
  4. Predictable results: With the help of modern software, your dentist can plan the entire treatment process, and you will be able to see a virtual model of what your smile will look like after the treatment is complete.

Who are clear aligners suitable for?

Clear aligners can be an effective solution for a wide range of orthodontic problems, including:

  • Misalignment
  • Crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Uneven teeth

However, in some more complex cases, traditional braces may be a more suitable option. During a consultation at Ames Dentistry, our experienced dentists will assess your situation and help determine which treatment method will be optimal for you.

What about Invisalign?

You may have heard of Invisalign. This is also a brand of clear aligners, and at Ames Dentistry in Xenia and Wilmington, we offer free Invisalign consultations. During the consultation, we can discuss your needs and preferences and determine which clear aligner option will best suit you in achieving your ideal smile.
