The Advantages Of Clear Braces To Improve Your Smile

Your smile matters. It will influence your self-esteem, have an impact on the way others perceive you, and much more. There are more than 7.5 million people living in the Long Island area, and many of those understand just how important a great smile is. For decades, things like braces have been used to improve smiles and help millions get the confidence they need. And while braces are still being used, here at Stony Brook Family Dentistry we believe that making the most of modern advances in dental technology is important. That’s why we think it’s important to understand some of the advantages clear braces can offer to you and to your smile.

• Nearly Invisible – The obvious advantage is the one that nobody will see. Clear braces are practically invisible, and unless someone is really looking for them, odds are good they’ll never notice that you’re wearing them. This means that the decades-long ‘braces’ smile is a thing of the past.

• Easy to Clean – Clear braces are removable. That means that they’re incredibly easy to clean, and with just a minimum of effort you’ll keep them in top shape.

• No Food Restrictions – That easy to clean design eliminates another annoyance that braces have long had – food restrictions. Now it’s possible to improve your smile with clear braces while enjoying popcorn, taffy, gum, and all the other things that traditional braces didn’t allow.

• Comfortable – Clear braces are made from smooth, comfortable plastic so you don’t have worry about the discomfort that traditional braces came with. They’re easy to wear and provide maximum comfort.

• Improved Esteem – All of these things help add up to the big benefit of clear braces – they’ll improve your self-esteem in a huge way. This goes for while you’re wearing them and afterwards, and you’ll be able to feel better about yourself almost immediately thanks to the clear braces.

• Improved Periodontal Health – You’ll still be able to brush and floss normally with clear braces. That means that you maintain maximum gum health throughout the straightening process.

• Affordable – On average, clear braces are very comparable to traditional braces. That means you don’t have to pay extra for all the benefits they provide.

Braces can help your smile, but there’s no doubt that clear braces have some very real advantages over traditional braces. If you’re ready to learn more or ready to get started improving your smile, don’t hesitate to contact us today.
