Clear Aligners: The Solution for a Perfect Smile

If you’re reading this post about clear aligners, we’re clear that it’s because: You’re thinking about improving your smile! Right?

 Are you worried that traditional braces are too visible or uncomfortable? If so, clear aligners can be the perfect solution for you.

Throughout the post, we’re going to talk about clear aligners, their benefits, their duration, their price and how to tell whether they’re right for you.

What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are a type of invisible orthodontics that are used to correct problems with the alignment of the teeth. They’re made of a clear plastic material that fits the patient’s mouth perfectly.

Clear aligners work by applying a gradual force to the teeth. This force shifts the teeth little by little until they align correctly.

What are the benefits of clear aligners?

Clear aligners offer a number of benefits over other types of orthodontics, such as:

  • They’re more discreet than traditional braces. This makes them a good option for people who want to improve their smile without drawing too much attention.
  • They’re more comfortable to wear than traditional braces. This is because they don’t have wires or brackets that can cause discomfort. This largely avoids the rubbing and the sores that are more frequent in the mouth with braces.
  • They’re more hygienic and easier to clean than traditional braces, since they can be taken out to brush your teeth and use dental floss.

 This is because they don’t have wires or brackets that can build up food debris.

  • They’re more aesthetic, as they’re barely noticeable when you’re wearing them.
  • They’re more practical, as they don’t interfere with speech or chewing.

Who can use clear aligners?

Clear aligners can be used to correct a wide range of tooth alignment problems, such as:

  • Crowding
  • Spacing
  • Crossbite
  • Open bite
  • Deep bite

How long do treatments with clear aligners last?

The duration of treatment with clear aligners depends on the severity of the tooth alignment problem. In general, treatments last between 6 and 18 months.

How much do treatments with clear aligners cost?

The price of treatments with clear aligners varies depending on the dental clinic and the type of aligners used. In general, treatments cost between €1,500 and €5,000, depending on the duration of the treatment.

Where can I find clear aligners?

Clear aligners can be found in dental clinics specialising in invisible orthodontics. In Valencia, Clínica Dental Doctores Tarazona offers treatments with Invisalign and Spark clear aligners. At our clinic we’re lucky to have Dr Beatriz Tarazona.

Dr Tarazona is a point of reference in orthodontics in Spain as well as a recognised researcher with many and varied national and international publications on her CV. And as if that weren’t enough: Invisalign gave her recognition as a Platinum Provider for her contribution to the advancement of the field of orthodontics.

How can I tell if clear aligners are right for me?

The best way to tell whether clear aligners are right for you is to go for a consultation with an orthodontist. The orthodontist will assess your case and recommend the most suitable treatment. We recommend always being wary of misleading advertising that promises changes in months and at excessively cheap prices (there’s always small print).

Clear aligners in detail:

In this section, we’re going to go deeper into some of the topics we’ve mentioned above.

Clear aligners work by applying a gradual force to the teeth. This force is generated by the difference in pressure between the inner and outer surfaces of the aligners.

The aligners are custom-made for each patient, so the force is applied in a precise and controlled way. This helps to guarantee that the treatment is effective and safe.

How long should I wear the clear aligners?

The duration of treatment with clear aligners depends on the severity of the tooth alignment problem. In general, treatments last between 6 and 18 months, although sometimes more time is required, depending on the case.

The orthodontist will give you a personalised treatment plan that will tell you how many aligners you should wear and for how long.

How do I clean the clear aligners?

Clear aligners should be cleaned carefully to avoid the build-up of bacteria and food debris.

You can clean them with a soft-bristled toothbrush and warm water. You can also use an electric toothbrush with a soft-bristled head.

If the aligners are very dirty, you can use a cleaning solution specifically for clear aligners.

Can I eat with the clear aligners?

Yes, you can eat with the clear aligners. However, there are some foods you should avoid or eat with caution, such as, for example:

  • Hard foods, which can damage or break the aligners, such as nuts, sweets, ice, etc.
  • Sticky foods, which can get stuck to the aligners, such as chewing gum, jelly sweets, chocolate, etc.
  • Foods that can stain or dye the aligners, such as coffee, tea, wine, tomato sauce, etc.

To avoid these problems, it’s best to take the aligners out before eating and clean them well after every meal. It’s also important to brush your teeth before putting them back in, to stop food debris or bacteria from building up between the aligners and the teeth.

Clear aligners are a very effective and discreet option for improving your smile.
