Are you a candidate for aligners?
Dental Consultation: Schedule a consultation with an orthodontist or dentist experienced in aligner treatment. They will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, bite, and overall oral health to assess your candidacy.
Dental Issues: AD Aligners are effective for mild to moderate dental issues, such as crowding, spacing, and some bite problems. Your provider will evaluate if your specific issues can be addressed using aligners.
Age: AD aligners are often recommended for older teenagers and adults, as they require a level of responsibility to wear and care for the aligners properly.
Compliance: Aligner treatment demands commitment to wearing the aligners for the prescribed amount of time each day. If you are willing to follow these instructions, you're more likely to be a good candidate.
Oral Hygiene: Good oral hygiene is crucial during aligner treatment. If you're committed to maintaining proper oral care and cleaning your teeth before reinserting the aligners, you're a suitable candidate.
Lifestyle: Aligners can be removed for eating, drinking (except water), and special occasions. If you have a lifestyle that demands this flexibility and responsibility, aligners could be a good fit.
Medical Conditions: Some medical conditions or medications might affect your candidacy. Be sure to discuss your medical history with your orthodontist.
Follow-Up Visits: Aligner treatment requires periodic check-ins with your orthodontist to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. If you're commit- ted to attending these appointments, aligners may be suitable.
Treatment Goals: Clearly communicate your treatment goals to your orthodontist. If your goals align with what AD aligners can achieve, you're on the right track.
ALIGNERS:
Design: AD Aligners are clear, custom-made trays that fit snugly over the teeth, applying gentle pressure to move them gradually into alignment. They are replaced with a new set every one to two weeks.
Visibility: Aligners are nearly invisible, making them an attractive option for those who want a discreet treatment option.
Treatment Range: Aligners are effective for mild to moderate teeth misalignment, including crowding, spacing, and minor bite issues.
Maintenance: Aligners are removable, allowing for easy oral hygiene maintenance. Brushing and flossing can be performed without the obstacles of brackets and wires.
Dietary Restrictions: Aligners are removed for eating, so there are no dietary restrictions. However, you need to ensure you brush your teeth before reinserting the aligners.
Treatment Duration: Treatment duration with aligners varies based on the individual's case but can range from several months to a couple of years.
Braces Vs Aligners:
BRACES:
Braces are made up of brackets made of metal or ceramic that are glued to the teeth and are joined by wires and elastic bands. Together, these elements gradually move teeth into the desired places.
Visibility: Due to the metal components in traditional metal braces, they are extremely conspicuous. Lingual braces are put on the back of the teeth to minimize visibility, making them less noticeable than ceramic braces since they blend in with the teeth.
Treatment Range: Braces are versatile and can address a wide range of complex dental issues, including severe misalignment and bite problems.
Maintenance: Braces require periodic adjustments by an orthodontist to tighten wires and make necessary modifications. Oral hygiene can be difficult to maintain due to the presence of brackets and wires.
