Clear Aligners for Kids and Teens in Tampa, FL
At Bayshore Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics in Tampa, FL, we know that the path to straight teeth doesn't have to involve traditional metal braces. That's why we're proud to offer clear aligner therapy as a modern, effective solution for correcting dental misalignments in children and teens.
What Is Clear Aligner Therapy?
Clear aligner therapy uses a series of custom-made, nearly invisible aligners to straighten teeth over time. These aligners are made from smooth, comfortable plastic worn over your teeth to shift them gradually and gently into place based on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans for you. It's an innovative way to transform your child's smile without the appearance of wearing braces.
Why Choose Clear Aligner Therapy?
There are many reasons why our patients, both young and old, choose clear aligner therapy over traditional metal braces. Here are just a few:
- Virtually Invisible: One of the most appealing aspects of clear aligner therapy is its subtlety. The aligners are virtually invisible, making them a great option for children and teens who are self-conscious about the look of traditional braces.
- Comfort and Convenience: The smooth plastic aligners are custom-fitted, offering a snug, comfortable fit without the irritation metal braces can cause. Plus, they're removable, allowing for easier cleaning, eating, and drinking—so no food restrictions!
- Effective Treatment: Clear aligners can correct a wide range of dental issues, including overcrowding, gaps, and certain cases of underbite, overbite, and crossbite. Each case is meticulously planned, ensuring effective, efficient treatment tailored to your child's specific needs.
