If you are considering clear aligners at our Pascoe Vale, VIC dental clinic, we welcome your call to talk to Dr. Amir or Dr. Valerie about whether this treatment is a good option for you. To help you weigh up the decision, here are some general pros and cons people often consider.
Pros of Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are designed to be discreet, and many people find that the smooth plastic trays are hardly noticeable in day-to-day interactions. They may also fit nicely into a variety of lifestyles because they are removable for eating and cleaning.
Treatment time varies from person to person, though some patients complete their aligner sequence within a year or more, depending on the complexity of their case and how consistently the aligners are worn.
Because the trays are removed for brushing and flossing, some people find it easier to maintain their usual oral hygiene routine.
Cons of Clear Aligners
Because the aligners are removable, they can be misplaced if not stored properly during meals. Clear aligner success also depends on wearing the trays as directed, which may feel challenging for some people at first.
There may be a short adjustment period when speaking with the aligners in place.
We invite you to contact our Pascoe Vale, VIC dental clinic to learn more about clear aligners and whether they may be appropriate for your orthodontic needs.
