Removable braces like ClearStep, Invisalign and Perfect Clear are excellent in terms of offering patients higher level of discretion during treatment. Removable aligners are an excellent solution when it comes to the straightening of teeth, although it’s true that some of the orthodontic problems would require fixed braces to have better tooth movement. Most of the simple treatments might be carried out using a removable appliance.
Benefits
Removable aligners can be easily removed before eating. They give patients the opportunity to freely enjoy food and since the aligners are not worn during eating, debris doesn’t get stuck between the tooth and brace. This makes it easier to maintain dental hygiene and reduces the risk of decay and dental erosion. Dental hygiene is very difficult with fixed braces and because they cannot be removed even while eating, plaque is easily formed. Hence, patients with fixed braces will be required to brush their teeth after every meal; sticky and harsh food will create lot of problems.
Cleaning is easy
Removable aligners can be easily cleaned. As with the fixed braces, these do not have the hard to clean wires and brackets. You can clean them gently with a toothbrush after you soak them in glass of water for 15 minutes. A glass of water should be enough for this purpose.
Removable aligners can be removed for a photo session or when you are out for a special occasion. This way the patient will stay comfortable during their time out and will not need to stay conscious of the appearance of their mouth.
Since removable braces do not need dental glue or cement to attach them to the front area of the tooth, no marks or residue is left behind. So once the treatment is over, patients can simply remove the braces and enjoy the result of the treatment.
