1. You Can Take Them Out

If you did have metal braces growing up then you know just how frustrating it can be to brush them or even eat certain foods with them on.

Just make sure that you put them right back in afterward; that way you get the best results from them. 

2. They Look More Professional

Another great benefit of clear aligners is that they look more professional because you can't see them. If you work in an industry where you are doing a lot of client interfacing, then it's important that you always put your best professional foot forward. If, however, you have a mouth full of metal braces that makes you look like you're twelve, you won't exactly look that way. With clear aligners, since you can hardly see them, you won't have to worry about any of that.
