If you have started learning more about orthodontics, then you likely have seen clear aligners<\/a> pop up. They are a discreet alternative to braces that are just as strong. They\u2019ll be able to give you the straighter smile you love, but how will they be against your teeth grinding? You might be surprised at how well they\u2019ll hold up, so keep reading to learn how you may still be able to get this treatment despite this habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Are Clear Aligners?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To know how aligners hold up against teeth grinding, it\u2019s important to get a full picture of them first. As was mentioned above, this option is great for patients who don\u2019t want braces. It doesn\u2019t use the traditional metal wire and bracket system, but rather plastic trays you\u2019ll wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll keep them in for 20 to 22 hours every day and swap over to a new set every week or so. Your teeth will be under constant, gentle pressure that\u2019ll keep them moving smoothly throughout your smile-straightening journey. By the end of your treatment, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy a healthier bite along with a more confident and comfortable grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Can I Get Clear Aligners Despite Grinding My Teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In short, you may still be able to get this type of orthodontics despite your teeth grinding (also called bruxism). That\u2019s because of how often you\u2019ll be swapping out the set you\u2019ll wear! As was mentioned above, you\u2019ll wear a different pair every week or two. While this helps keep you on track, the frequency of it may be quick enough to avoid any trouble from this habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only that, but your trays may also help prevent some complications caused by bruxism. When you grind your teeth, you are more likely to experience some wear and tear on them. With your treatment, they’ll be able to act as a barrier, protecting your smile just a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, it\u2019s important to know that this habit can lead to your aligners getting worn out faster. Initially, it may not stop them from working effectively, but you may need a replacement occasionally. Your dentist can order them for you, but by partnering with them, they may be able to better anticipate it and avoid any delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Can I Get Clear Aligners?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While you can still get this type of orthodontics with bruxism, you may wonder what your next steps would be. Well, it would be a consultation with your dentist! They\u2019ll do an oral examination and jot down your goals. When they have this understanding, they\u2019ll work and talk with you about this treatment, so you are confident in what to expect. That way, you enjoy a smooth journey to a healthier bite you love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
