When you work in a public-facing industry, the last thing you want is a crooked smile. It’s your smile that helps build trust in those who listen to you. Your smile welcomes people when they walk through the door. And it’s your beautiful smile that gets people to say—yes—I believe in what you have to say.

So what do you do if your smile isn’t so beautiful, after all? Perhaps your teeth are crooked or misaligned? Maybe your dentist in Newport Beach has told you that braces are your best bet. But you don’t want traditional metal braces impacting the look of your smile, even if it is, indeed, crooked. This is where Dr. Desai and her approach to aligner therapy can help change the game and give you the smile you need and deserve.

How Aligner Therapy Works

Aligner therapy consists of a series of trays that look similar to a mouth guard, that are designed to straighten your teeth step-by-step. Each tray in the series is custom-designed to target specific movements, making adjustments as you progress. 

For best results, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. The good news is they are easily removed for cleaning, eating, and even for those moments when you need to speak in public. 

This flexibility makes aligner therapy an attractive option for adults looking to improve their smiles without the worry of traditional braces. Simply pop your trays back in when you’re done, and you’re back on track to a straighter smile.

Why Adults Choose Aligner Therapy

Though traditional braces are more effective for more significant malocclusions, clear aligners work for those smaller adjustments. And the benefits and results are pretty impressive. Here are just some of the reasons adults come to Dr. Desai in Newport Beach for clear aligner therapy. 

• Comfort: Clear aligners are made from smooth plastic, reducing the risk of irritation compared to metal braces.
• Convenience: Aligners are removable, allowing for easy cleaning, eating, and maintaining oral hygiene.
• Nearly invisible appearance: Perfect for professionals who want to improve their smile without drawing attention to the treatment.
• No food restrictions: Unlike traditional braces, you can eat your favorite foods without worrying about damaging brackets or wires.
• Less frequent office visits: With aligners, checkups are typically less frequent, since the treatment progresses with each new tray.
• Customized to your smile: Aligner therapy is tailored specifically to your teeth, offering a personalized path to a straighter smile.
