Understanding Clear Braces: Benefits, Care, and Choices

If you're looking to achieve a straighter and healthier smile, look no further than our team here at Dr. Dann Orthodontics. We offer braces in Orlando that fit your lifestyle and dental needs. This includes clear braces, which are very easy to take care of and are quite inconspicuous. Let's take a look at the benefits, care, and other considerations to think about when seeking adult orthodontics in Winter Park.

Benefits of Clear Braces

At one time, metal braces were the only option that patients had for straightening their teeth. Unfortunately, metal braces can pose several issues. For example, they can be tight and uncomfortable. They often result in irritation of the teeth and gums. They can severely limit what you are able to eat. Fortunately, clear braces have become a preferred option for many people. We offer this product at our adult orthodontics Winter Park office, with many of our patients being qualified candidates.

Clear braces don't affect a person's speech as much as metal braces can. As an adult, this can be a major selling point that people often appreciate most. They can be removed while eating, so you don't have to limit your diet throughout the treatment process. It's also a lot easier to take care of your oral health when you have clear braces.

Taking Care of Your Clear Braces

Because you can remove your clear aligner when you're eating, you don't have to worry about food getting stuck in between your teeth and in your braces. You just must make sure that you brush and floss your teeth between meals and before putting your aligner back on. Keep up with regular appointments at our office so we can perform professional cleanings and help you take care of your clear aligners. Make sure that you're only using products that are safe for the type of clear aligner that you are using. We can help you choose the right items if necessary. Otherwise, just try to stay away from dark-colored foods and beverages that have the potential to stain your aligners.

Some of the products you can use to take care of your braces include:

• Traditional floss
• Flossing tape
• Water flosser
• Floss sticks
