A Modern Approach to a Straighter Smile

A Modern Approach to a Straighter Smile

A great-looking smile can open doors, spark connections, and leave a lasting impression; and in a city like Portland, where self-expression and individuality are ingrained into the culture, that couldn’t be more important. Known for its vibrant culture, creative energy, and health-conscious lifestyle, Portland is a place where people care about looking and feeling their best - on their own terms.

For this reason, more Portland residents are seeking flexible teeth straightening options that blend seamlessly into their daily routines. Traditional orthodontic treatments, while effective, don’t always align with the fast-paced, modern lifestyles many Portlanders lead. This is where at-home teeth straightening with ALIGNERCO clear aligners comes into play.

Choosing a Teeth Straightening Option That’s Right For You

Depending on your preferences, schedule and level of commitment, there are several different teeth straightening methods in Portland to choose from. Having a better understanding of what each treatment entails can help you choose wisely. We’ve outlined some of the most popular treatments below to give you a head start.

More people than ever are turning to teeth straightening at home using clear aligners. They work by using a series of custom-made transparent trays that gradually move the teeth into their correct positions, without the need for wires and brackets.

For people who prioritize discretion, comfort, and convenience, ALIGNERCO Clear Aligners fit the bill. Treatment is virtually invisible, aligners can be removed to eat and brush, and fewer clinic visits mean greater flexibility for busy lifestyles.

Clear Aligners
Pros
  • Virtually invisible
  • Unlike fixed braces, no dietary restrictions are required
  • Complete removal allows for better brushing and flossing
Cons
  • Must be worn 20-22 hours a day for best results (or choose ALIGNERCO's night option for 8-10 hours of wear time)
  • Clear plastic trays can easily be misplaced
  • Less effective in severe or highly complex cases

When talking about teeth straightening, most people's thoughts turn to metal braces. These appliances utilize a series of brackets and wires fixed to the outside of the teeth that apply gentle pressure to move the teeth into alignment. They're worn for the duration of the treatment and can only be removed by a dentist.

They remain a mainstay of orthodontics for their ability to treat a wide range of orthodontic problems from mild to moderate misalignments through to complex bite problems.

Metal Braces
Pros
  • Less expensive option in most cases
  • Extremely effective and proven over many decades
  • Ideal for most case types
Cons
  • Highly noticeable with a metal appearance
  • Possibility of discomfort from brackets and wires
  • Regular dental visits required for adjustments

Ceramic braces offer a more discreet alternative to traditional metal braces thanks to the use of tooth-colored brackets and wire. They work in the same proven way as metal braces, using fixed brackets to gradually guide teeth into position.

They're a great option for people with more complex misalignments seeking a subtle teeth straightening option. However, they do tend to cost more and are more fragile than their metal counterparts.

Ceramic Braces
Pros
  • Tooth-colored material means less visibility
  • Good for improving mild to complex orthodontic issues
  • Same proven mechanics as traditional metal braces
Cons
  • Higher teeth straightening cost than conventional metal braces
  • Ceramic braces are prone to staining if not cleaned properly
  • Brackets are bulkier and more fragile than metal

If you prefer something less visible, then lingual braces are a solid teeth straightening option. Unlike other fixed braces, they're positioned on the inner side of the teeth and can't be seen when you smile, eat, or talk, offering a fantastic alternative to fixed metal braces.

On the flipside, because lingual braces are custom-made, the teeth straightening cost is often higher, and it can be more difficult to find a dentist who offers them.

Lingual Braces
Pros
  • Completely invisible from the outside
  • Effective for all types of cases
  • Custom designed for a precise fit
Cons
  • Typically, the most expensive option
  • Lingual braces require specialised fitting
  • Can affect speech until accustomed

Frequently Asked Questions

No, ALIGNERCO Clear Aligners are for teens and adults. They’re popular with teens and adults who may feel self-conscious when wearing braces or dislike the thought of metal in their mouth. Aligners, however, do require discipline and responsibility, so they may not be suitable for every teen.

On average, treatment with ALIGNERCO takes between 4 and 6 months, depending on the individual and their treatment plan. However, some cases may take up to a year. Naturally, the more aligners you are given, the longer teeth straightening takes.

Yes, our technicians will provide a 3D treatment plan showing the before and after positions of your teeth so you can give your approval or ask for a modification before your aligners are fabricated.

Tea and coffee can stain the aligners, which means that instead of ‘invisible’ teeth straightening treatment, others will see a stained aligner that you will have to wear until it’s time to swap it out for the next in the series. It’s not just about staining either. Hot drinks can warp your aligners, which could disrupt your treatment if the aligner can’t do its job properly.

Patients are sometimes dismayed to learn that they need to wear a retainer once their teeth have fully aligned. Unfortunately, it’s an essential part of at-home teeth straightening since it prevents the teeth from moving back (relapsing) to their previous positions. Not wearing a retainer could potentially undo all the hard work you’ve put into teeth straightening, not to mention the costs involved.
