Are clear aligners right for you?
Clear aligners are used for a wide range of straightening, but they're not right for everyone. Only a dentist can tell you after examining your teeth. As a rough guide, though:
Aligners are often used for:
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Gaps between teeth
- Slightly crooked or rotated teeth
- Some bite problems
- Teeth that have moved after earlier braces
A different approach may be needed for:
- Severe crowding or large bite problems
- Cases where the jaws themselves need correcting, which can involve surgery
- Teeth that need to move a long way or rotate a lot
- Mouths with untreated decay or gum disease, which must be treated first
If aligners aren't the right fit, your dentist can explain your other options, which may include fixed braces or a referral to a specialist orthodontist. That's still a useful result: it means your advice is based on your own teeth rather than on an advert.
Healthy teeth first
Straightening teeth puts gentle, steady pressure on them and on the bone around them, so your teeth and gums need to be in good health before you start. Keep up your check-ups and hygienist visits, and mention any loose teeth, bleeding gums or sensitivity at your consultation.
