Crooked teeth or bite issues used to mean years of wearing metal braces, but today’s patients have a better option—clear aligners. At our dental office, we offer clear aligner therapy that lets you straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably. It’s one of the most popular cosmetic treatments among teens and adults alike.
Clear aligners work by gradually shifting your teeth into alignment using a series of custom-made plastic trays. Unlike traditional braces, there are no metal wires or brackets involved. The trays are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. This makes them a convenient choice for people with busy lifestyles.
We use state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology to create a digital model of your smile. This allows us to map out your entire treatment plan from start to finish and show you a preview of your future smile. Once your trays are fabricated, you’ll wear each set for about two weeks before moving on to the next.
One of the biggest advantages of clear aligners is that they are comfortable. There’s no poking wires or rubber bands to deal with, and the smooth plastic trays are gentle on your cheeks and gums. Most people report minimal discomfort and quickly adapt to wearing them.
Clear aligners are ideal for treating mild to moderate cases of crowding, spacing, and bite alignment issues. However, not everyone is a candidate. That’s why we start with a thorough consultation and evaluation to ensure the best possible outcome. We’ll discuss your goals and determine if clear aligners are right for you.
The length of treatment varies, but many patients start to see noticeable results in just a few months. With consistent wear, most cases are completed within 12 to 18 months. Throughout your treatment, we’ll schedule periodic check-ins to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
If you’ve always wanted straighter teeth but dreaded the thought of braces, now is the perfect time to explore clear aligner therapy. Contact our office to schedule your consultation and start your journey toward a more confident smile.
