How Clear Aligners Work
Clear Aligners use sets of clear plastic aligners to shift your teeth into a straighter position; this is the same job performed by braces, but with no metal brackets or wires involved. You’ll wear each set for about two weeks at a time, and you’ll only remove the aligners when you eat or brush your teeth. Each set is designed to gradually shift a small portion of your smile until the whole thing is perfectly aligned.
Who Clear Aligners Can Help
Clear Aligners can be used to treat a variety of orthodontic issues, such as:
Crowded Teeth
If you feel like you have too many teeth in your mouth, you may benefit from Clear Aligners. The aligners apply focused pressure to different parts of your smile throughout treatment, eventually bringing the teeth into the proper aligned position.
Gaps Between Teeth
Did you know that spaces between your teeth put you more at risk for cavities and gum infections? This is because bits of food can more easily get trapped in these gaps and cause decay, gum disease, bad breath, and other issues. 3M Clear Aligners can gently push your teeth back into a healthier position to lower these risks.
Bite Alignment
If your whole bite isn’t aligned, it can place pressure on your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) and cause problems like TMJ disorder, as well as teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism). Whether you have an underbite, an overbite, or a crossbite, 3M Clear Aligners can correct these issues.
How Much Do Clear Aligners Cost?
Many factors could influence the cost of your clear aligner treatment, so we can’t give you an exact estimate until we’ve examined your smile. However, when you consider all the advantages that 3M Clear Aligners offer over braces, it’s easy to see that it’s worth the investment!
Not to mention, fewer bite issues means less time spent in the dental chair, as well as less money spent on restorative procedures in the future.
