Liberate Your Life: The Freedoms That Come with Clear Aligners

With Independence Day not too far away, it’s important to take some time to appreciate all the freedoms we often take for granted. While the freedoms of speech and the press are certainly important, all the liberty that can come with clear aligner orthodontic treatment can also be worth considering. Here are some of the freedoms offered by clear aligners that traditional orthodontic methods just cannot match.

Freedom to Chow Down

While traditional metal braces are an excellent way to realign a troubled smile, they come with strict dietary requirements to prevent complications and delays in treatment. There are no exceptions for parties, holidays, or any other special occasions, making these restrictions difficult for patients to comply with.

Clear aligners, on the other hand, are designed to be removed during meals and oral hygiene sessions. This means that you can enjoy all the favorite foods of summer such as corn on the cob, meat on the bone, raw snappy veggies, and popsicles. Just remember to brush and floss at least thirty minutes after eating and before you put your aligners back in. This will prevent food and bacteria from being trapped between your teeth and aligners.

Freedom From Metal Attached to Your Teeth

It can be hard to smile confidently when you are wearing conspicuous and irremovable metal wires and brackets on your teeth. This makes many people shy at social functions or business meetings, which can make it difficult to land that stellar first impression. Clear aligners are made from thin and transparent plastic, making them virtually invisible to casual observers and allowing you to be proud of your smile while you straighten your teeth.

The metal parts that come with traditional braces can also be quite pointy, causing uncomfortable abrasions and sores in the cheeks, lips, and tongue. Since clear aligners are completely smooth, you won’t have to worry about this problem. Many patients report that wearing clear aligners is far more comfortable than wearing traditional braces.

Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic method that has allowed millions of people to enjoy straighter and healthier smiles. Consulting with your orthodontist can determine if they are right for you.
