What Are Clear Aligners?
Why Choose Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners offer numerous advantages over traditional braces:
- Discreet Appearance: Clear aligners are made from transparent plastic material, making them virtually invisible when worn. This material allows you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment.
- Comfort and Convenience: Clear aligners are custom-designed to fit comfortably over your teeth, with no sharp wires or brackets to irritate your mouth. Additionally, since clear aligners are removable, you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.
- Predictable Results: Clear aligner treatment utilizes advanced digital technology to create a precise 3D treatment plan, allowing you to visualize the predicted outcome of your treatment before you even begin. This imaging ensures efficient and predictable results, with fewer visits to the dentist compared to traditional braces.
- Improved Oral Health: Clear aligners make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment, as you can remove the aligners to brush and floss your teeth as usual. Being removable helps reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues commonly associated with traditional braces.
The Clear Aligner Process
The clear aligner process typically involves the following steps:
Initial Consultation: During your initial visit, one of our dentists will evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment goals. We will take digital impressions and photographs of your teeth to create a custom treatment plan.
Custom Treatment Plan: Using advanced digital technology, we will design a series of clear aligner trays that will gradually move your teeth into their desired positions. You will receive a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks to progress through your treatment plan.
Regular Monitoring: Our team will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments throughout your clear aligner treatment to ensure optimal results. We are here to support you every step of the way and answer any questions you may have during your treatment journey.
