Schacher Orthodontics in Simcoe has recently released a guide on cosmetic and aesthetic orthodontics, highlighting the advantages of clear aligners, including Invisalign and other alternatives.
The orthodontic team recognizes that many patients prefer to avoid metal braces for aesthetic reasons. The guide explains the science behind clear aligners and provides a detailed overview of the treatment process, from start to finish.
According to a recent report from Forbes, clear aligners like Invisalign remain a popular choice for individuals seeking to correct crooked or gapped teeth. The experienced team at Schacher Orthodontics elaborates on why this treatment option is beneficial for many patients.
“With clear aligners, certain things can be done well, and other things can’t,” a spokesperson explained. “Each patient needs to be examined to determine their specific needs for the best outcome. It’s crucial to choose a trustworthy orthodontist rather than just a general dentist.”
To determine if clear aligners are suitable for a patient’s orthodontic needs and goals, a qualified orthodontist will evaluate each case individually. This includes taking X-rays, creating molds of the teeth, and developing a customized treatment plan.
The guide emphasizes that while devices like Invisalign can tip teeth, they cannot move teeth through the bone entirely.
Traditional metal braces are more effective for significant adjustments, while clear aligners are better suited for mild to moderate realignments.
While Invisalign is the most recognized brand, Schacher Orthodontics also points out that other clear aligner options are available, such as those from TP Orthodontics and Great Lakes Orthodontics.
Dr. Schacher prefers and recommends aligners manufactured in the United States over those produced in developing countries.
In addition to providing professional advice and personalized plans for orthodontic treatments with clear straighteners, Schacher Orthodontics also offers services such as orthognathic surgery, conventional braces, retainers, and more.
