What are the advantages of treatment with transparent dental trays?

Transparent dental splints lead to almost no restrictions in everyday life and sports. As the dental splints can be easily removed, unrestricted oral hygiene is possible, thus reducing the risk of caries. Nevertheless, care must be taken to ensure thorough oral hygiene on a daily basis, as the natural effect of cleaning by saliva is reduced.

Orthodontic treatment with invisible braces also has the advantage over classic braces that patients with a metal allergy can also be treated. In addition, the absence of brackets and adhesives enormously reduces the "decalcification risk" (so-called white spot lesions). The use of clear aligners results in fewer emergencies, as mucosal injuries are usually absent due to less irritation. Furthermore, brackets do not have to be removed during therapy with clear braces (so-called debonding). Therefore, there is no risk of enamel injuries. Other advantages of treatment with clear braces are the lower incidence of root resorption.
