6 Reasons to Choose Smart Moves

April 23, 2022

Woman holding clear alignerAre you embarrassed by overcrowded or gapped teeth? It’s never too late to invest in a straight smile. You don’t have to worry about brackets or wires because there’s a nearly invisible solution to move your teeth. Smart Moves uses a series of clear plastic aligners worn over your teeth to move them gradually. A discreet appearance isn’t the only benefit. Here are 6 freedoms of Smart Moves that aren’t possible with metal braces. 

1. Undetectable Appearance

You won’t feel insecure about brackets and wires while correcting your bite and alignment issues. Although you can see the aligners when holding them in your hand, they are very difficult to detect once they are in your mouth. 

2. No Dietary Restrictions

Smart Moves aligners aren’t affixed to your teeth, so you can remove them anytime you want. As a result, you won’t have to avoid your favorite foods or snacks during your treatment. It’s important to take your aligners out before having anything except water; however, make sure you are wearing them for at least 22 hours per day. 

3. No Lengthy Cleaning Routine

Besides eliminating dietary restrictions, there’s another benefit of removable aligners. You don’t have to worry about a complex cleaning routine. There aren’t any wires or brackets to clean around, so you’ll brush and floss normally. The only difference will be brushing your aligners with a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear hand soap.

4. Shorter Treatment Time

You don’t have to commit to a lengthy treatment plan. Although every case differs, most patients are finished with their aligners in about 12 months. You can ensure there aren’t any delays in your treatment plan by wearing them for the correct length of time daily and switching to the next one in the series on time. 

5. Less Time in the Dental Chair

No one has time to visit the dentist every couple of weeks for adjustments. You don’t have to juggle frequent appointments because there aren’t any wires to adjust. Instead, you’ll visit your dentist every few weeks to monitor the progression of your treatment. Smart Moves will provide the convenience you need to maintain your daily responsibilities. 

6. Comfortable Solution

Clear aligners are a comfortable alternative to metal braces. There won’t be any tugging or pulling on your teeth. You won’t have any brackets or wires irritating the inside of your cheeks or lips. Each aligner is carefully crafted from smooth plastic to fit over your teeth like a glove. 

You can achieve the healthy, straight smile you desire using a preferred alternative to traditional braces. Take your first step toward a beautiful smile by scheduling a consultation with your dentist.
