What are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are custom-made sets of clear plastic trays that gradually shift your teeth into their proper position. The dentist uses industry-leading technology to make your aligners after taking a 3D image of your teeth. This process truly allows for personalized customization of your clear aligners.

Patients receive new aligner trays according to their treatment plan, with each one based on their individual needs. These aligners straighten the teeth and can help to correct bite issues (which sometimes show up as symptoms like headaches, migraines, grinding, clicking, popping, neck/shoulder pain.

Why Choose Clear Aligners Over Other Options to Straighten Teeth?

There are several types of braces that straighten the teeth. One question that you may have before making a clear teeth aligners appointment at Manhattan Beach Dental Solutions is, “What is the benefit of Invisalign clear aligners over other options?”

Some benefits include:

• Clear aligners are removable, unlike other braces
• Clear aligners offer more comfort compared to other types of braces
• Patients enjoy the fact that clear aligners are less noticeable than other types of braces
• Oral hygiene care is less of a challenge when compared to traditional or lingual, or ceramic braces

What Are the Other Benefits of Clear Aligners at Manhattan Beach Dental Solutions?

Traditional braces are less noticeable than they used to be years ago, but they can still potentially cause ongoing discomfort for the wearer. This is true for teens or adults.

Lingual braces are less noticeable than traditional braces because the wires are attached to the back side of the teeth rather than to the front of the teeth. This may cause friction on the tongue.

Ceramic braces are less noticeable than traditional braces because the wires are either clear or tooth-colored instead of the silver wires. They may stain, or they may cause sensitivity or irritation of the gums.

Clear aligners allow the patient to smile without fear of embarrassment over wearing braces and improve self-confidence. The improved comfort likely leads to making clear aligners an easy choice for patients in need of treatment to straighten their teeth.

Patients do not have to have their wires “tightened” every month since there are no wires with clear aligners. Complying with the time to wear them and keeping appointments are required of all patients. You must wear your aligners at least 22 hours a day in total (removing them only to eat and brush).
