Teeth Aligners in Langwarrin

When misalignment of the teeth is only minor, teeth aligners may be a suitable alternative to braces for straightening the teeth and achieving teeth alignment. Dental aligners work by being worn on the teeth in order to gradually shift their position, with the mouthguard-like top and bottom teeth aligners updated every few weeks. They can be easily inserted and removed by the patient at home, meaning they don’t get in the way of tasks such as eating food and brushing the teeth. Clear teeth aligners are also available for those who prefer an invisible alternative to braces. At Complete Orthodontics & Dental Care, we offer several options for aligners to help you attain a straighter smile.

How Long Do Aligners Work?

The length of time you wear dental aligners will vary depending on the extent of the dental issue that needs correcting. This can be anywhere from 6 months to 3 years. Your dentist will be able to advise you of the recommended duration before your treatment begins, as well as providing a cost estimate for teeth aligners.

Are Teeth Aligners Better than Braces?

This will depend on your individual circumstances. For some patients with minor teeth alignment issues, top and bottom teeth aligners can be an excellent alternative to braces. Clear teeth aligners such as Smile Styler aligners are also a good option for those who are seeking an invisible method of teeth straightening that won’t make them feel self-conscious, particularly for adults. However, if you have more severe misalignment issues, traditional braces may be recommended as a more effective treatment.
