At our dental practice, we believe everyone deserves a smile they feel confident about. If you are considering straightening your teeth, clear aligners may be an excellent option for you.
Clear aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth comfortably. They are made from high-grade transparent plastic. This means you can gradually straighten your teeth into the right position without anyone knowing. You will receive a series of aligners, each slightly different from the last, to be worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set.
One of the significant advantages of clear aligners is the comfort they provide. Additionally, because the aligners are removable, you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions. Simply take out the aligners when eating or drinking and put them back in after. This flexibility also makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene. You can brush and floss your teeth as you normally would, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease during your treatment.
Our clear aligners are tailored to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. You will visit us periodically so that we can check your progress. These appointments are usually quick and straightforward, allowing us to check the fit of your aligners and make any necessary adjustments.
Patients often ask, “How long will treatment take?” The answer depends on how complex your malocclusion is. However, many of our patients begin to see noticeable improvements within just a few months. Most treatments are completed within 12 to 18 months. Rest assured, our team will provide a clear treatment plan and timeline during your initial consultation.
Here are a few key benefits of clear aligners:
- Discreet appearance: Clear aligners are nearly invisible, so you can straighten your teeth without drawing attention.
- Comfort: Smooth plastic aligners are gentle on your gums and cheeks, unlike traditional braces.
- Convenience: Removable aligners allow you to eat, drink, brush and floss with ease.
- Predictable results: Advanced technology used to create your aligners ensures precise and effective tooth movement.
