Common Issues Addressed with Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are an excellent orthodontic treatment solution for adults looking to correct minor issues and straighten teeth. These may include:
Retreatment: If your teeth have shifted after you stopped wearing retainers and now have misaligned teeth, clear aligners can gently realign them.
First-time treatment: If you never had braces as a child but wish to correct minor issues, clear aligners offer an unobtrusive solution.
Specific dental goals: Whether you’re looking to close a small space, correct crooked teeth, or address other specific issues, clear aligners provide targeted and effective treatment for straighter teeth for a stunning smile.
