Patients who have a small amount of crowding in their upper or lower incisors often prefer to try to correct this problem without having to wear braces. The Bloore Aligner was designed specifically for such a purpose. Springs -- "eyelet arms" -- are placed lingual to each incisor and individually activated to move the teeth into alignment. As needed, interproximal reductions and incisal re-contouring are utilized to gain room and provide an esthetic result. Note: When used on the lower arch, it is important to make sure that the incisors are not coupling with the lingual of the uppers prior to initiating treatmen. Vertical and AP clearance are required to successfully correct the lower anteriors.
