Why Encino Patients Should Consider Clear Aligners
When you think of orthodontic treatment, you probably picture a teen with a mouth full of metal braces. Some patients prefer a less noticeable option for straightening their teeth. Patients visiting our Encino office often ask if there’s a way they can get their crooked teeth fixed without metal braces. They are thrilled to find out that there is! Clear aligners are a modern approach to straightening your teeth.
Let’s learn more about their benefits and when they might be the right choice for you.

What Makes Clear Aligners a Great Option for Straightening Teeth
Here are some of the major advantages of this approach:
Nearly invisible
One big reason many people keep delaying orthodontic treatment is that they don’t want metal braces. All those metal wires and brackets stand out too much against the teeth. Clear aligners, on the other hand, are almost invisible when worn (hence the name).
Most people won’t be able to tell that you have them on! Aesthetics are a major benefit of these aligners. You can remain confident in your social gatherings or workplace without worrying about the look of your teeth.
Removable
You have the freedom to remove your aligners when you need to. Take them out of your mouth before eating/drinking and cleaning your teeth, or even when you have to get a photoshoot done for an event.
No food limits
Braces wearers get a full list of what they can eat and should avoid. But because aligners can be taken out easily, you can eat and drink whatever you want. Go ahead and eat that corn on the cob!
Easier dental care
The removable trays also mean that you can brush your teeth normally, just like you would before the treatment. Saves you time and the trouble of getting special cleaning tools.
Fewer visits
Residents of Encino have hectic schedules. It’s not easy to keep up with multiple dental appointments. Don’t worry. With clear aligners, you’ll have fewer dental visits compared to braces.
