Do the Benefits of Clear Aligners Make Them Worth the Cost?
When you think of somebody with a beautiful smile, it is likely due to them having straight teeth with a proper bite. Other cosmetic factors such as teeth whiteness also come into play, but even if your teeth are white as ivory, if they are crooked or misaligned, you will likely desire a better smile. This is where treatment such as clear aligners, as offered by Dr. Troy Schmedding and the team at Family Dentistry of Walnut Creek in Walnut Creek, California, comes into play. The benefits provided by clear aligners make them worth the cost to patients. Let us look at some of those benefits now.
Clear Aligners are Well Established and Trusted
Clear Aligners are a well-trusted alternative to the more well-known Invisalign treatment. Clear aligners have a history of great success since they were introduced to the market. If credibility is important in choosing a teeth-straightening option, then clear aligners have that covered. Since they were introduced, clear aligners have received nearly universal positive reviews from patients who have used the treatment. While not as widely offered as other alternatives, such as Invisalign, you will be hard-pressed to find a dentist or orthodontist with something bad to say about clear aligners.

More Discreet Than Traditional Orthodontics
For many individuals looking for straighter teeth, the best treatment works and is less noticeable than bulky and (very) visible metal braces. While braces are impossible to hide, the discreet nature of clear aligners is right in the name. You will wear aligner trays made from dental-grade plastic, which are comfortable and (most importantly) clear. Some people say they are downright invisible. If you still feel like they may be noticeable and you would rather take them off in certain situations, you can do just that. You must wear them for 22 hours a day for the best results.
They are Effective
While look and feel are critical to dental patients seeking orthodontic treatment, it will not matter if the treatment does not work. If you are looking for a treatment that is just as effective as braces for mild to moderate orthodontic issues, clear aligners offer this. Thanks to the continued advancement in dental technology, clear aligners can provide a highly effective treatment option when you would rather avoid traditional braces.
