Absolutely! The ability to straighten your smile without visible metal braces is one of the biggest appeals of clear aligner therapy. Some ways aligners offer more discreet teeth correction:
- Made from nearly invisible clear plastic that blends in seamlessly against natural teeth. Super subtle!
- No bulky metal brackets and wires that attract attention.
- Removable for special photos or events where maximum discretion and a bright smile is desired.
- Smooth surface and edges don’t reflect light and “flash” in photos or when you laugh like metal braces.
- Don’t interfere with lip movements or speaking. Braces promote more noticeable lisping and speech impediments.
- Cause less saliva buildup and mouth irritation or swelling. This reduces any braces-related appearance changes.
Can I Get Clear Aligners If I Have A History Of Gum Disease?
Teens and adults concerned with maintaining a natural look while correcting their teeth overwhelmingly prefer aligners over conspicuous braces these days. While aligners aren’t 100% invisible up close, their sheer discretion makes them the clear choice for discreet straightening.
