What Orthodontic Issues Can Clear Aligners Fix? Buscemi Family Dentistry Explains

If your teeth are crowded, gapped, misaligned, or have shifted since the last time you wore braces, clear aligner therapy from Dr. Vincent Buscemi at Buscemi Family Dentistry in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, could help you achieve a perfectly aligned smile. Clear aligners are made from removable and transparent plastic and offer a convenient, discreet, and comfortable path to a straight, beautiful smile. 

Issues that clear braces can help with

Because of its invisibility and comfort, clear aligner therapy has become a popular treatment for teens and adults. While they aren’t suitable for all cases, clear aligners can help correct numerous dental issues, including: 

• Crowded teeth: Overcrowded teeth aren’t only unsightly to look at, but they trap food, putting you at risk of gum disease and tooth decay. Clear braces can gradually move and align crowded teeth, creating more spaces between them
• Spacing issues: Uneven spaces between your teeth always make your smile look incomplete. Adult braces move teeth to close noticeable gaps between them to achieve a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile
• Overbite: This malocclusion type occurs when the upper front teeth overlap significantly with the lower front teeth. Clear braces correct overbites by pushing the bottom teeth forward while teeth in the upper jaw are pushed back
• Underbite: An underbite occurs when the lower front teeth sit too far forward in front of the upper front teeth. Clear braces can correct this bite issue by gradually moving the lower teeth back or the upper teeth forward
• Open bite: This bite issue occurs when one or more opposing teeth don’t occlude (align) properly when biting down. This misalignment can lead to uneven wear on the teeth and jaw discomfort. Clear aligners worn over the upper and lower teeth can move your pearly whites to achieve optimal alignment

Clear braces are created using advanced 3D technology, ensuring comfortable and precise orthodontics. Our dentist can create a virtual treatment plan to show you when and how your teeth will move at each stage. No surprises! You’ll know what to expect even before the treatment begins.
