Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are orthodontic appliances designed to straighten teeth and address dental misalignment issues. Unlike traditional braces with metal brackets and wires, clear aligners are nearly invisible and made from transparent, medical-grade plastic. These custom-fitted aligners are removable and replaced regularly to shift teeth into their desired positions gradually.

At Benson Orthodontics, we offer clear aligners as a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces. They allow for easier oral hygiene and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. This innovative orthodontic solution has gained popularity for its effectiveness in treating many orthodontic issues while providing a more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable experience for patients.

Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners

Gaps Between Teeth

If your teeth have gaps between them, clear aligners can be used to close those spaces. The aligners apply pressure to the teeth to move them into their proper positions over time. This pressure is gentle and gradual, so you won’t experience significant pain or discomfort.

Overcrowded Teeth

When teeth are overcrowded, they are too close together or overlapping. Clear aligners can gradually move the teeth apart so that there is room in your mouth for all of them.

Underbite

An underbite occurs when your lower teeth protrude past the upper teeth. This condition can cause jaw pain and difficulty chewing. Clear aligners can shift the lower teeth back to align with the upper teeth.

Crossbite

A crossbite is when one or more of your upper teeth sit behind your lower teeth. It’s often caused by genetics, thumb-sucking as a child, or prolonged pacifier use. Clear aligners can fix this issue by shifting the upper and lower teeth into proper alignment.

Misaligned Teeth

If your teeth are misaligned, clear aligners can be used to straighten them. These modern appliances straighten teeth by applying pressure to gently push them into their proper positions.
