Discretion
The clear aligners are almost totally invisible as they are thin and fit precisely over the teeth. Keeping the aligners clean helps maintain this discretion.
Comfort
The aligners do not have rough parts, such as brackets, so they are comfortable against the inner cheeks. All patients are bound to enjoy this, but those who play sports may benefit more as physical contact will be less likely to cause injury.
Faster Treatment
Less time is required to finish treatment with clear braces than with metal braces. Depending on the patient, treatment time may be reduced by one-third or more.
Oral Health Support
Metal braces commonly trap food and plaque, and make brushing and flossing more difficult. As a result, risks of cavities rise during treatment. Invisible braces can be removed for brushing and flossing and are not fixed in place, so cavities are easier to avoid.
Most adults are found eligible to wear clear braces. By scheduling a consultation with our orthodontist in Rocklin, you can find out if you are a candidate for this treatment.
