Why People Choose Clear Aligners over Traditional Metal Braces for Minor to Moderate Orthodontic Issues
For years, when it came to correcting orthodontic issues, metal braces were the only way to correct these types of problems. Thanks to the ever-evolving nature of dental and orthodontic technologies, clear aligner treatment systems were developed for minor to moderate orthodontic issues. Patients in the Walnut Creek, California area seeking clear aligner options should consult Dr. Troy Schmedding and the team at Family Dentistry of Walnut Creek for the best invisible dental aligners and information about the many benefits patients see with clear aligners. Here are just a couple of those benefits you will see when choosing this treatment.
No Uncomfortable Metal
When you choose clear aligners over traditional orthodontic options such as braces, you are choosing a treatment option that provides a more comfortable experience while providing fast, effective treatment for minor to moderate orthodontic issues. Orthodontic treatment options such as braces require uncomfortable metal brackets and wires, which can poke and prod the inside of your mouth. While the results cannot be disputed, the comfort of braces could be better. When you choose clear aligners to correct crooked or misaligned teeth, you are choosing an option that provides comfortable dental-grade plastic aligners. While they need to be worn at least 22 hours a day, you will not find this an issue as you will often forget they are even in place due to the comfortable nature of the treatment.

No Food Restrictions
Anybody who has worn traditional metal braces knows that there is a whole list of foods they need to avoid for the duration of the treatment. While some of these restrictions may not be a big deal, there are always one or two restrictions that any given patient misses out on being able to eat. The great thing about clear aligners is that there are zero dietary restrictions. This is because when it is time to eat or drink, you can very easily remove the aligner tray you are wearing. You can eat your meal or snack, rinse your mouth, then slide the aligners in again very easily. This is just another benefit of choosing a clear aligner treatment for your orthodontic problems.
