The Benefits of Clear Aligners in St Louis

Clear aligner therapy is a new approach to discreetly move your teeth using clear, removable and custom-made brackets. The procedure uses a series of trays fabricated by technology that moves the teeth in small increments.

Like traditional braces, aligners are designed to move teeth a little at a time. Before treatment begins, the orthodontist will examine you and take records including x-rays, photographs and impressions or digital scans of your teeth. The doctor can then diagnose the problems with your smile based on this information and use their knowledge about various devices to manipulate it into shape using an aligner software program; you’ll have more stability in alignment as well as less tooth mobility over time because there is no pressure being exerted by wires which hold them up against each other. 

Why choose clear aligners therapy?

A traditional orthodontic brace is designed to move teeth little by little. Before the treatment begins, your orthodontist will examine you and take diagnostic records including x-rays, photographs, and impressions or digital scans of your teeth. From this information they can diagnose what needs to be done next with the aligners software – which tooth goes where and in what order – guiding them into healthy positions while suggesting something that’s right for you based on your treatment goals and lifestyle needs.
