Clear aligners are an effective and discreet option for many patients looking to address mild to moderate dental issues such as crowding, gaps, and bite misalignment. They offer a comfortable, non-invasive solution that allows for improved aesthetics during treatment, as they are virtually invisible when worn. At Natural Smiles Family Dentistry in Lowell, MA, we frequently recommend clear aligners for patients who are looking for a more flexible orthodontic option and who can commit to wearing them for the recommended 22-23 hours per day.
However, traditional braces may still be a better choice for patients with more complex dental concerns, such as severely misaligned bites or significant jaw misalignment. Braces are also ideal for patients who may find it challenging to consistently wear aligners for the required amount of time. With traditional braces, treatment is more controlled and can address more complicated issues, such as shifting the back teeth or aligning the jaw.
