Traditional braces are not the only path to take for straight teeth anymore. Offerred as a more discrete and flexible option, clear aligners are increasing in popularity. But, like many dental procedures, for the best possible results, there are some requirements that need to be met. Let’s explore the key factors to consider when deciding if clear aligners are the right orthodontic procedure for you.
What do you need to be able to tick off?
- Alignment issues
Clear aligners are great for addressing mild to moderate teeth misalignment issues. They’re great for treating issues like overcrowding, gaps between teeth and mild bite problems. However, if your teeth are in need of major corrections, traditional braces may be a more suitable option in order to properly address your concerns.
- Commitment to consistency
It’s important to note that clear aligners require a high level of commitment to wear them consistently. Unlike braces that are permanently fixed to your teeth, aligners are removable. However, for the treatment to be a success, you have to commit to wearing your aligners for at least 20-22 hours a day. If you’re sensing you may struggle with being consistent or can foresee challenges in keeping them in for the recommended duration, it’s essential to reconsider whether clear aligners are the right choice for you.
- Dental health and hygiene
Ensuring your oral hygiene is in tip-top shape is crucal during your orthodontic treatment. Your clear aligners should be removed before eating and drinking anything other than water. Since you’ll be wearing your aligners for extended periods of time, it’s important to continue brushing and flossing to reduce the risk of plaque buildup. A great advantage of clear aligners over traditional braces, is that you won’t have to navigate around pesky brackets and wires. If you’re committed to maintaining excellent oral hygiene practices, clear aligners might be a more convenient option for you.
- Lifestyle considerations
Clear aligners are flexible to use, making them a fantastic solution for those with active lifestyles. So, if you’re involved in sports or musical instruments, the ability to remove your aligners during these activities can be a significant advantage over traditional braces. Additionally, you may choose clear aligners because you are concerned about the appearance of braces – the discreet nature of clear aligners may be a decisive factor for you.
- Financial considerations
While clear aligners are a popular choice, they may come with a higher price tag compared to traditional braces. It’s essential to consider your budget and evaluate whether the additional cost aligns with your priorities and preferences. Some dental insurance plans may cover a portion of the cost, so it’s worth exploring your coverage options.
