If you are bothered by crooked teeth, crowding, or gaps, no doubt you’ve probably sought dental options for treatment. Although traditional braces offer solutions, they come with numerous inconveniences. Then there’s clear aligner treatment. Clear aligners are easy to use, inconspicuous, effective, and practical, making them a great choice for achieving a straighter, healthier smile. At Nashville Restorative Dentistry, we offer clear aligner orthodontics to our patients in the Franklin, Tennessee, area. Drs. Ryan Jones and Caleb Estes are your go-to dentists for creating the smile of your dreams.

Straighter Teeth with Fewer Inconveniences

Despite the effectiveness of traditional braces in straightening teeth, they’re rapidly losing popularity due to their discomfort, inflexibility, and awkward appearance. Given a choice, most teens and adults would prefer a more discreet treatment. Clear aligners fit that bill. When worn, the clear, plastic aligners are barely noticeable on your teeth. They won’t make you feel awkward or self-conscious about your appearance.  

Here are a few more reasons why more people are choosing clear aligners over traditional metal braces to straighten their teeth:

No Dietary Restrictions

Traditional braces are permanently attached to your teeth for the duration of your treatment. Due to the nature of the treatment, there are foods you aren’t supposed to eat because they can break a bracket off or get stuck in the wires. Clear aligners can be removed for meals, giving you the freedom to eat what you want when you want it – without compromising your treatment. 

Actual Patients Results

Reggie

Issue: Two badly infected and broken upper front teeth as well as poor alignment of his teeth overall.

Solution: Through a process involving extractions, bone grafting, and braces we were able to achieve a healthy, infection free point which allowed dental implants to be placed and utilized to replace the two missing front teeth.

More Results

Fewer Dental Visits

Traditional braces are composed of brackets, bands, and wires that need to be adjusted periodically throughout your treatment. Hence, this treatment requires frequent dental visits. In contrast, clear aligners don’t need to be “adjusted” and are easy to manage independently. You’ll change to a new set of aligners every 7-14 days to advance your treatment. We’ll schedule appointments every 6-10 weeks to monitor your progress and ensure all is going well with your plan. 

Greater Comfort

Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners have no metal wires poking into your gums, lips or cheeks. The aligners are made of smooth plastic material and are custom-made for a secure yet comfortable fit.

Better Dental Hygiene

With clear aligners, oral hygiene couldn’t be easier. The aligners can be removed for brushing and flossing your teeth and routine dental cleanings. You’ll be able to keep your mouth fresh and clean throughout your treatment. Good oral hygiene minimizes your risk of new cavities or any other dental issues while your teeth are moving. 

No-Fuss Aligner Care

Clear aligners are simple to maintain and clean. We recommend using a soft bristle brush and clear, liquid soap to clean them at least once daily. You can also rinse them thoroughly every time they’re removed. Cleaning your aligners regularly prevents staining and keeps them in good shape for optimal use.
