Aligners
Those who have crooked or misaligned teeth are often very conscious about their looks. This can also create dental hygiene issues, which can further aggravate the problems related to decay, and gum disease, amongst others. Most adults are also not quite eager to wear braces, as they might look unsightly.
However, there is much to celebrate in the realm of dentistry. Clear aligners are in trend today and are near invisible. When you wear them, they apply a little pressure on your teeth, and gradually your teeth are repositioned. If you have very mild to intermediate level issues, aligners can be your answer to the problem. Clear aligners are made from plastic and are transparent in nature. We customize them to fit over your dental structure, and our experts will suggest you to wear them for a certain period of time, every day.
Aligners can provide solution for gaps in between teeth, cramped teeth, underbite, overbite, crooked teeth, and crossbite. At times, we also suggest our patients to use aligners along with orthodontic elastics, to correct mild or moderate bite issues.
