Children can wear clear aligners too and achieve results as spectacular as the one we bring you today.
This patient, just 12 years old, came to Clínica Peydro with his parents to start orthodontic treatment following the protocols of our Dr. Diego Peydro.
After studying his case meticulously at a free first visit, the doctor found that he had a severe class II malocclusion and a greatly increased deep bite that stopped him closing his mouth normally.
TREATMENT:
Clear aligners
DURATION:
A year and two months
To solve this problem, our doctor proposed a treatment plan with Spark clear aligners, a decision the patient’s parents supported once the advantages over conventional braces had been explained to them
The benefits of clear aligners for teenagers
Clear aligners have countless benefits over conventional appliances, also known as braces.
Our patient’s parents wanted a system for their son with as little discomfort as possible and less risk of decay and gingivitis, which is why we opted for clear aligners.
Clear aligners have several advantages over conventional braces. The most notable are:
With clear aligners it is easier to brush normally, which considerably reduces the risk of decay and gingivitis during treatment.Less discomfort during treatment. Since they are aligners, there is no risk of a bracket coming loose or of small injuries in the mouth caused by the wire that usually holds the brackets in place.They look good. With clear aligners, the people around you will barely notice you are wearing an appliance, something that matters a great deal with teenagers, for whom appearance is so important at this age.You can go about your life normally. Since they are removable, they can be taken out without any trouble to eat or drink, so they will not get in the way of your day-to-day life as braces did.
