Clear aligners are a good alternative for patients who want a straighter smile but do not want to wear traditional braces. Additionally, aligners are beneficial for patients with previous orthodontic treatment who want to make minor corrections to their smiles. There are several advantages to using clear aligners:
😁 Clear aligners are difficult for other people to see
😁 You don’t need to avoid sticky foods or gum because you take out clear aligners before eating
😁 It’s easy to brush and floss after meals since the aligners are removable
😁 Clear aligners are more comfortable and less likely to irritate the gums and cheeks than braces

Gum disease can cause deterioration of the gum tissue and bone which can lead to receding gums and tooth loss. It may also cause medical problems and advance serious medical conditions in patients with Alzheimer's disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Other systemic diseases that interfere with the body's inflammatory system may worsen the gums, such as cardiovascular disease and rheumatoid arthritis. #MouthBodyConnection
