Debunking the most common misconceptions about invisible aligners.
There are a ton of misconceptions out there about straightening teeth with the use of an invisible aligner. Yes, they work. No, they’re not DIY braces. Yes, a doctor is involved, and clear aligners are completely safe.
Aligner Myth #1: They don’t work as well as metal braces because they are made of plastic.
BUSTED! It’s true that clear aligners are made from plastic but they are just as effective as braces. To move teeth, you need to apply pressure to the teeth consistently. The teeth don’t know whether that pressure is being applied by clear aligners or metal brackets and wires. Each set of aligners applies pressure to the teeth to move them to the position designed by the doctor, ready for your next step in your treatment plan. The invisible aligner has been used to straighten smiles for millions of people around the world.
Aligner Myth #2: Everyone will know I’m wearing aligners so I may as well get clear braces.
BUSTED! Unlike braces, TSO aligners are invisible and clear, so chances are no one will even know you’re wearing them.
Aligner Myth #3: You’ll have the same eating restrictions as braces
BUSTED! Because invisible aligners are removable, there are no food restrictions. You can eat whatever you want, even apples and popcorn. Just be sure to always remove your aligners before eating and drinking anything other than cool water. And always brush and floss morning and night.
Aligner Myth #4: It’s basically DIY orthodontics.
BUSTED! What we do is called teledentistry. TSO using orthodontic technology to allow teeth straightening to happen from the comfort of your own home. It’s completely safe, and a duly registered dental practitioner oversees each smile plan.
Aligner Myth #5: They’re inconvenient.
