Frequently Asked Questions
Clear aligners are a modern, discreet solution for straightening teeth and correcting bite issues. They can be an excellent alternative to traditional braces for many patients, offering comfort and convenience. However, whether they will work for you depends on your specific orthodontic needs.
What Conditions Can Clear Aligners Treat?
Clear aligners are effective for a variety of orthodontic issues, including:
- Mild to moderate crowding or spacing of teeth
- Minor bite issues, such as overbites, underbites or crossbites
- Adjusting teeth after previous orthodontic treatment
For more complex cases, traditional braces may be recommended. A consultation with our team at Lifelong Dental can determine if clear aligners are the right option for you.
Questions about Orthodontics in Lara?
Clear aligners are best suited for patients who are committed to wearing them for 20-22 hours a day and maintaining good oral hygiene. They are an ideal choice for those seeking a more discreet way to straighten their teeth, as they are virtually invisible and removable for eating or brushing.
