When you decide to correct spacing problems with your smile, you look forward to improving your appearance. But did you know that teeth that are more uniformly spaced are also easier to clean? This means that seeking orthodontic correction offers valuable health benefits in addition to cosmetic enhancement. By improving your ability to prevent tooth decay and gum disease, you prevent your smile’s appearance and function from being harmed for years after your treatment. If your teeth are currently out of alignment or crowd, bacteria can hide in tiny spaces that are inaccessible to your toothbrush. You might not even be able to fully floss between these areas. By receiving treatment with Orthodontic Clear Aligners, you will wear a system of trays that gradually pull your teeth into position. This allows you more even access when scrubbing during your oral hygiene routine. Clear aligners provide additional ease for cleaning your smile by being temporarily removable. Compared to traditional braces, which fit permanently, you simply take off your tray when it is time to brush or eat.
