Clear braces are here to stay! Clear braces bring your teeth into proper alignment but make orthodontic treatment less conspicuous. You are left with a beautiful new smile when the treatment is finished. Clear braces are available at Sundance Dental & Orthodontics in Rio Rancho and Farmington NM.
Clear braces are an increasingly popular orthodontic option due to their aesthetic appeal. With minimal visibility, it won’t interfere with your appearance during treatment. In addition, they offer additional comfort and more adjustability than
metal braces, making them an excellent choice for those looking for a discrete way to straighten their teeth. Moreover, clear braces are often seen as easier to clean than traditional metal ones and may be more comfortable for those with sensitive gums and nerves.
The proper name for
clear braces is “aligners.” They look a lot like an athlete’s mouthguard. You wear a series of them to put pressure on your teeth, which brings them into alignment. Each set of aligners is worn from one to two weeks before you go to a new set. The new set changes the alignment slightly, so you have an ideal bite in time.
They must be worn for at least twenty-two hours each day to get the best results, although that time may vary slightly from one patient to the next. The total number of aligners each patient needs varies, too.
Some of the benefits of clear braces:
- They’re inconspicuous. People just a few feet away from you may not even realize you’re wearing them.
- They are removable. As noted, they must be worn most of the time. But you can take them out for meals, floss, and brush before bed.
- No metal in your mouth!
- Improved Oral Hygiene
- Cost-Effective Solution
Remember, the goal of aligners, or any braces for that matter, is to ensure your top and bottom teeth fit together properly. You have to do your part. It may be tempting to remove them sometimes, but it is in your best interest to wear your aligners for the recommended time, which usually includes while you sleep.

Are you suffering with a toothache, but ignoring the pain? It won’t get better until you have one of our dentists take a look, at Sundance Dental & Orthodontics in Rio Rancho and Farmington NM.
Toothache pain is like an unpaid speeding ticket. Ignoring it won’t make it go away.
Many dread seeking relief from a dentist because they fear the treatment will hurt worse than the pain they are experiencing. But waiting too long is never a good idea.
The most common cause of a toothache is a cavity. In most cases cavities are easily treatable, and will relieve your discomfort.
A toothache may also be a symptom of something more serious, like gum disease. You may also have sustained an injury that is worse than you realized, or may even have an abscessed tooth.
Finally, a toothache can indicate something that has nothing to do with the tooth itself. Toothache symptoms can be mimicked by a sinus infection, shingles, or something else.
The point is, don’t ignore it. At Sundance Dental & Orthodontics in Rio Rancho and Farmington NM, we treat toothache symptoms and provide emergency dental care. We also have complete family dentistry services. Call for a checkup with us today!
