Clear Aligners vs Metal Braces, What you should know to make the right choice
November 9, 2017Dr. RamyaOrthodontics3

What are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are an advanced and aesthetically presentable alternative to traditional braces. These are designed to shift or guide teeth into a desirable position to achieve both functional and aesthetic requirements.

Clear Aligners function in the same way as traditional braces, they control tooth movement using a gradual force, but without the use of metal wires or brackets.

A durable plastic material is used to make the aligners and is designed to fit each individual’s mouth.

A series of aligners might be used over a time period and each aligner moves the teeth in small increments until the desired position is achieved.
