Aligners😁😁😁
*differences between ALIGNERS and BRACES?
1. APPEARANCE: Aligners are less noticeable than braces. They are made with clear material, customized to fit your teeth.
2. DENTAL VISIT: Aligners require fewer appointments, that’s good news for those living busy lives😀. Braces on the other hand require frequent visits according to the treatment need and orthodontist recommendation.
3. DIET: Diet is not affected when using Aligner because it can be removed before eating. For braces, your diet definitely needs to be modified (those looking to lose weight will absolutely love this😀)
4. HYGIENE: It is easier to brush and keep a healthy oral hygiene with aligners than braces. Brushing with braces on can sometimes be challenging for some patients.
5. EFFECTIVENESS: Aligner is not recommended for everyone. It is preferable to use aligners for simple direct cases than complex cases. However, braces can be used for all cases. Also for Aligners, the effectiveness depends on the compliance of the patient (if you don’t wear your aligners for at least 22hours a day, you won’t get a good result). Since braces is permanently fixed, the effectiveness is more.
6. COST: In most cases aligners are more expensive than braces and other times can be the same depending on the case.
Hhmmmm….we must add this, we see a lot of instagram post and Ads telling you to come and purchase aligners for less than 100,000 without even taking your impression (measurement of your teeth), here is our candid advice, RUN! It is not possible and you won’t achieve any result.
Visit a certified dental clinic to make enquires about Aligners if you want to embark in this journey, it is safer.
