Differences between braces & clear aligners
When it comes to clear aligner treatment, there’s a lot to consider. Most clear aligner patients at Orthodontics Exclusively enjoy shorter check-ups, fewer appointments, simpler oral hygiene, and fewer emergency visits.
However, since the aligners are removable, they have some additional responsibilities. Your cooperation is essential, whether you have braces or clear aligners.
Since braces are attached to your teeth, they do the heavy lifting to keep your treatment progressing. With clear aligners, you need to do a little extra work during your treatment so your trays can be fully effective.
You’ll need to manage your wear time, keep your aligners clean, and swap them out for the next aligner in the series. You need to be sure that you can do this before committing to clear aligner treatment.
Like traditional metal braces or ceramic braces, we recommend wearing a retainer after completing your clear aligner treatment to maintain your new alignment and confident new smile.
