Clear aligners are quickly becoming one of the most popular and celebrated orthodontic treatments around, and when you take an objective look at them it’s easy to see why. These plastic trays are thin, discreet, and removable; each of these factors means that you will have a lot more freedom when it comes to this treatment than you will with many other methods of straightening your teeth.
If you’re interested in learning more, here are just some of the freedoms that come with clear aligner treatment.
Freedom to Eat
If you’ve ever known someone who has worn braces, you’re probably aware that there are a lot of dietary restrictions that come with the treatment. This is because many common foods can dislodge the brackets on your teeth or potentially snap a wire.
However, clear aligners are able to be removed before you eat, which means that your diet won’t necessarily have an impact on the quality of your orthodontics. In that way, clear aligners can give you the freedom to eat whatever you want!
Freedom to Talk
After wearing any oral appliance for enough time, you won’t necessarily have any problem speaking smoothly and fluently. However, this hurdle can be much higher when it comes to traditional braces than in the case of clear aligners.
Wires and brackets can poke at your mouth in uncomfortable ways, potentially impairing your ability to talk easily. This is much less of a problem when it comes to clear aligners than in the case of other treatments. If you still struggle, you can always take your trays off before a big presentation to make sure that you’re talking as fluently as possible.
Freedom to Smile
Lots of people are nervous about how their orthodontics are going to make them look, particularly in the case of braces. Clear aligners don’t have this issue—they’re nearly invisible when you put them on, so much so that others won’t have any idea that there’s something on your teeth until you mention it.
That being the case, your clear aligners will afford you the freedom to smile your widest, confident that your orthodontics won’t affect the impression that you make.
