For patients who are looking for an alternative to traditional bracket-and-wire braces, Bioliners™ clear braces are appealing for several reasons. Not only are the transparent aligners an aesthetic benefit, they are also significantly less cumbersome than traditional braces. Bioliners™ can be removed when patients need to eat, and there is no worry about food getting stuck between brackets, or other inconveniences.
However, Bioliners™ are not for everyone. If your teeth need major correction and re-alignment, Bioliners™ might not be the best choice for you. Willow Dental offers the Carriere Self-Ligating Bracket System for patients who need regular braces, they are still the most effective method of correcting teeth that need significant orthodontic work.
When Bioliners™ Are a Good Option
Although clear braces are limited in addressing major bite problems, they can be used in a variety of other situations, making them a valuable tool for dentists and patients alike.
Bioliners™ are often used:
If you have widely spaced teeth, minor bite issues, or minor crowding, Bioliners™ can be an effective alternative to traditional braces. Note that when using Bioliners™, you will need to return to our office at two-week intervals in order to obtain your new aligner and keep your teeth on the path to their final alignment.
In most cases, patients are able to obtain their ideal results after using three separate Bioliners™, but other cases may require additional models. Our dentistry team will consult with you to determine a treatment plan that best addresses your orthodontic needs.
Patients that only have a few teeth that are crooked or misaligned may want to look into porcelain veneers as an alternative to Bioliners™ and other braces treatments.
