What Are Orthodontic Aligners?

Clear aligners are an innovative orthodontic treatment used to straighten teeth. They consist of a series of removable plastic trays worn for at least 22 hours a day, with each tray typically worn two weeks at a time. These aligners apply gradual pressure on the teeth, shifting them into the desired positions over time. The trays are custom designed to fit your teeth and are replaced with new sets as treatment progresses.

What Do Invisible Braces Treat?

Clear aligners are a versatile solution for addressing a variety of mild to moderate dental issues. Our aligners can help correct misalignment, improve bite function, and enhance the overall appearance of your smile. Key dental problems that our clear aligners can treat include:

  • Crooked Teeth: When your teeth grow at different angles, it causes them to overlap or not align correctly with the rest of your teeth.
  • Crowded Teeth: This happens when there's not enough space in your mouth, causing teeth to shift or overlap.
  • Gaps Between Teeth: Spaces or gaps can naturally develop between your teeth or form over time.
  • Overbite: An overbite occurs when your upper teeth extend too far over your lower teeth, potentially affecting your bite and chewing.
  • Underbite: An underbite happens when your lower teeth protrude past your upper teeth, disrupting your bite.
  • Open Bite: In an open bite, your upper and lower teeth don't meet when you bite down, leaving a gap between them.

Benefits of Invisible Braces

Clear aligners offer a range of benefits, making them a preferred option for many people seeking to straighten their smile. They are designed to be easy to incorporate into your daily routine. Benefits of our invisible braces include:

  • Discreet and Comfortable: Clear aligners are nearly invisible and made from smooth plastic for a comfortable fit that minimizes irritation to your mouth.
  • Convenience: Because they are easy to remove, our aligners allow you to eat, drink, brush, and floss without restrictions, making it simple to maintain good oral hygiene.
  • Fewer Office Visits: With clear aligners, you'll need fewer trips to our office, saving you time compared to traditional braces.

Our Invisible Braces Process

We begin our clear aligner process with a detailed consultation with our dentist, where they assess your oral health and discuss your treatment goals. During this visit, impressions and x-rays of your teeth are taken and sent to a trusted lab, where your custom aligners are carefully crafted to fit your needs. Once your aligners are ready, you'll return to our office to pick them up and receive instructions on how to wear and care for them.

Throughout your treatment, you will periodically return for check-ins, where our dentist will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. These follow-up visits allow us to provide support and help you stay on track as your teeth shift into place, bringing you closer to the smile you want.

Clear Aligner FAQs

We understand you may have questions regarding our clear aligners. Our team is ready to answer your questions and guide you throughout your treatment process. We want you to be as informed and comfortable as possible while delivering the beautiful, healthy, and aligned smile you deserve. Common questions include:

How do I clean my clear aligners?

You should clean your clear aligners with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush, and avoid using toothpaste, as it can scratch the aligners. There are also special cleaning products and tablets designed for clear aligners that can help keep them fresh and bacteria-free.

Treatment length varies depending on your case, but most patients wear clear aligners for 12-18 months. The length of time depends on how much movement is needed to achieve your desired results.

If you don't wear your aligners as recommended (at least 22 hours a day), your treatment may be delayed, and your teeth may not move as planned. It's important to follow the instructions provided by our dentist to achieve optimal results.
