If you are thinking about seeking orthodontic treatment to fix the position of your teeth, you will find there are many options available today. If you hesitate at the idea of traditional bracket-and-wire metal braces, clear aligner therapy provides an alternative treatment with additional benefits. While this system approaches the same orthodontic goal of straighter teeth, clear aligners help you improve your oral health during your treatment as well as afterward. Because crowded teeth allow bacteria to hide in areas that are hard to clean, orthodontic treatment helps you fight cavities. Furthermore, you can remove your aligner trays when brushing your teeth to fully access the surface of your entire tooth during the corrective period. Their discreet appearance also means that you do not need to worry about unwanted attention from the distracting look of metal wires and brackets. This allows you to pursue both improvements to your health and personal appearance at the same time!
