Do Clear Braces Make Your Teeth Look Yellow?

Clear aligners like Inman in Chesterfield, MO, do not make your teeth look yellow. However, you may notice tooth staining if you don’t brush and floss during treatment. This can happen even if you don’t wear aligners. Certain foods, drinks, and lifestyle choices can lead to tooth discoloration.

About Clear Aligners and Cosmetic Dentistry

Clear aligners enhance smile aesthetics and promote better oral health by aligning your bite, closing smile gaps, and making your teeth easier to brush and floss.

The first step is a conversation and assessment with your dentist. This visit determines whether clear aligners will work to correct your alignment issues. You’ll also learn about costs and how long you’ll need orthodontic treatment.

Traditionally, clear aligner therapy can take up to two years (or less) to give you the smile you’ve sought. However, because our Inman aligners have dual brackets, they can usually do the job in 16 weeks or less!

We also offer various cosmetic options, including dental veneers in Chesterfield, MO, teeth whitening, tooth-colored restorations, and more.

You can choose clear aligners on their own or incorporate them into a smile makeover. Additionally, if you feel your teeth are discolored or stained, talk to the dentist about teeth whitening before or after your orthodontic treatment.

Benefits of Inman Aligners

Clear aligners can correct the following orthodontic issues:

  • Twisted, crowded, and overlapping teeth
  • Gaps or unusual spacing between teeth
  • Bite misalignment, including crossbite, overbite, and underbite

During your aligner therapy, you can briefly remove the system to eat, brush, and floss your teeth. This means there are no eating restrictions.
