4 Freedoms You Can Enjoy with Clear Aligners

Woman with clear aligners

Are you wanting to get on a path towards a straighter smile? While most of us aren’t necessarily born with the smile that we always dreamt of, one of the great things about living in the 21st century is the fact that you don’t need to settle for a mouthful of metal brackets and wires in order to have aligned teeth. Instead, you can choose clear aligners! Laster Perfect Smiles clear aligners can gradually straighten your smile with freedoms that you cannot get with traditional orthodontics. Continue reading to learn what those are.

Eating Freely

When you have metal braces, you have to abide by some eating restrictions so that you don’t cause damage to your teeth or braces. Because clear aligners are removeable, you don’t need to cut out any of your favorite foods from your diet. You just need to be sure to always take out your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Just eat, brush, floss, and then put your aligners back in. There isn’t much too it!

Socialize Freely

When receiving orthodontic treatment, a lot of older teenagers and adults feel self-conscious about the way their look. Having a mouthful of brackets and wires isn’t something that most people find aesthetically appealing. This won’t be an issue with Laster Perfect Smiles clear aligners because they are virtually invisible. No one will even realize that you are wearing them unless you point them out yourself.

Freedom to Be Comfortable

There have yet to be any teeth straightening options out there that don’t cause soreness and discomfort from time to time. After all, your teeth are shifting from one location to another. However, clear aligners tend to be more comfortable because this technique does not use ass much pressure as normal metal braces do. When you first put in a new set of aligners, you may feel some soreness, but this isn’t as uncomfortable as getting traditional braces tightened on the regular.

Smiling Freedoms

When you have clear aligners, it will be more easy for you to watch your plan become a reality. Your teeth will move in small increments at a time until they reach their final locations. With traditional braces, you don’t have the ability to see what the final product will look like until you have them taken off. With clear aligners, you will be able to see all of the small improvements that your smile is making every single day.

Instead of settling for mettle braces, Laster Perfect Smiles clear aligners may be a great alternative. You will have the straight smile you’ve always dreamed of in no time!

I've been coming to this practice for years now since moving to the Raleigh area. The office is always clean and organized and the staff have always been friendly and communicative. Also, the TV's mounted to the ceiling are a nice touch! I've been seeing Dr. Laster for several years before our insurance changed causing me to change to Dr. Rensch. Both are so easy to talk to and always made me feel at ease.

From beginning to end 5/5! I thought I was experiencing a dental 911. I submitted an inquiry at 11:30pm and by 8am the next morning, Deidra (front office staff) was already leaving me a message. She was so sweet and patient at 8am lol. After our initial conversation, I informed all follow up dentists “I found my dentist office” but thank you so much! Today I was welcomed with the same energy from Diedre to Britany then finally Dr.Wrench. The music playing throughout the office was fantastic; ie music selection and volume. The TV’s on the ceiling and wall made my procedure so painless and enjoyable! I watched an entire Christmas movie lol! Dr. Wrench (apologies for spelling) made my teeth absolutely perfect! I left telling my friends and family I have a million dollar smile! 😊 I can tell he wanted them perfect and he did! Thank you all so much for being amazing! Sincerely, Your next patient.

Dr. Laster and Dr. Rensch go above and beyond for their patients. I have seen both for various treatments and I always feel comfortable and heard. They take time to listen and to talk with you. They explain your options and work with you to develop the best plan for your care. They are always upbeat and positive and you can tell they truly love what they do. The front desk staff is exceptional as well. Deidre is so caring and very sweet. She’s efficient, understanding and conscientious of your time. I highly recommend.

Connections Dentistry was great! The staff is so friendly and truly cares about their patients. My appointment was quick, and honestly the best dental experience I’ve had. They are great about offering helpful solutions without making you feel like you are being reprimanded… which was the reason I was putting off the dentist. 100% recommend!
