Clear aligners (Invisalign)
Nobody knows it, but you're getting your teeth straightened!
More and more people are getting their teeth straightened. The advanced technology can solve many issues in this field, while allowing you to enjoy a healthy, aesthetic bite. Dr. Ackerman’s Dental Clinic offers its clients the latest innovation in orthodontics, and already they like it: clear aligners can save you the embarrassment of wearing metal braces.
Conservative teeth straightening
The accepted teeth straightening treatment normally included metal braces taped to the teeth and connected with a metal wire. While for young children this was not a big deal, adults would get discouraged.
More than the unappealing aesthetics, metal braces would accumulate plaque and bacteria, and cleaning between the slots was not an easy task. Oral hygiene was compromised, and gum disease and caries would result.
The metal wires between the braces would cause jaw and palate injury. Inconvenience would be caused by the presence of a foreign object in the mouth, as well as the inability to remove the braces for even one second. Orthodontic treatment is usually long and lasts about a year or more, during which the patient could never enjoy a clear smile.
Clear aligners
At Dr. Ackerman’s clinic, the old myth was debunked, as teeth straightening became more pleasant. We apply clear aligners, which give the patient a more aesthetic look. The treatment is based on completely clear aligners, which need to be replaced every once in a while.
The advantages of clear aligners:
- Easiness and comfort
- Patient’s looks are not compromised
- The soft delicate aligners do not impair speech
- The aligners can be removed at any time (e.g., while eating)
- The teeth can be thoroughly cleaned with the use of removable aligners.
