Importance of Clear aligners

As we age, our teeth are more likely to become loose and fall out. This is due to a number of factors, including gum disease, tooth decay, and bone loss. However, there are a number of things that we can do to help prevent tooth loss, and one of these things is to use clear aligners like Invisalign! Dr. Meenakshi Tomar at Edmonds Bay Dental in Edmonds has ver 2 decades of experience in helping patients select the best solutions to address their complex dental health needs.

Invisalign Clear aligners are a patented orthodontic appliance that is used to straighten teeth. They are made of a clear, flexible material that is custom-fitted to the patient's teeth. Clear aligners are worn for a period of time, usually 22 hours per day, and they gradually move the teeth into their desired position. Dr. Tomar uses a state of the art – Itero 5D Plus Oral Scanner to decide the current state of your teeth and to design your improved smile with Invisalign.

Overall, clear aligners are very effective at moving teeth. In fact, they are just as effective as traditional brace – but obviously are a lot more socially appropriate for patients who are older . Secondly, clear aligners are much more comfortable to wear than traditional braces. Because they are barely noticeable, patients feel a lot more comfortable wearing them regularly as needed to help straighten their smile.

In addition to being effective and comfortable, clear aligners can also help to improve oral health. When teeth are misaligned, they can be more difficult to clean, leaving pockets with gum disease and resulting tooth decay. Clear aligners can help to correct misalignment and make it easier to keep teeth clean.

If you are concerned about tooth loss, clear aligners may be a good option for you. They are a safe and effective way to straighten teeth and improve oral health. Clear aligners can also help to improve your smile and make you feel more confident.
