What Are Clear Aligners for Teeth?
Invisible aligners are a type of orthodontic treatment used to straighten teeth. They are transparent, plastic trays that fit over your teeth and gradually shift them into their desired position by gently applying consistent pressure. The treatment involves a series of removable trays, with each new set designed to move your teeth closer to proper alignment. Our dentist has the experience to treat teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic cases using invisible aligners, providing a customized approach for each patient.
Benefits of Invisible Aligners
Our dentist sees invisible aligners as a versatile and effective solution for teeth straightening. With their blend of comfort, convenience, and subtlety, clear aligners can help you achieve a beautiful, confident smile. Key benefits of our clear aligners for teeth include:
- Discreet Appearance: Our aligners are virtually invisible, making them a great choice for those who prefer a more subtle treatment compared to traditional metal braces.
- Removability: You can easily remove your aligners for eating, drinking, and maintaining oral hygiene, offering convenience and freedom from food restrictions.
- Comfort: Made from smooth plastic, invisible aligners are comfortable and reduce irritation to your gums and mouth, unlike metal braces.
- Fewer Office Visits: Clear aligners for teeth typically require fewer visits to our office, as you'll only need periodic checkups to track progress.
Our Invisible Aligner Process
Our aligner process begins with a consultation with our dentist, where we'll assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if aligners are the correct treatment for you. During this visit, digital scans or impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a personalized treatment plan. Once your aligners are ready, you'll start wearing them, with each set gradually shifting your teeth into place. You'll wear the aligner trays for 20-22 hours daily, removing them to eat, drink, and maintain oral hygiene. Throughout your treatment, you'll have regular checkups in our office to track your progress.
After completing the aligner treatment, you'll be given retainers for your teeth to help maintain your new smile. These retainers prevent your teeth from shifting back into their original positions. Once your aligner treatment is complete, you may choose to enhance your smile further with our cosmetic bonding using the Bioclear™ system. This minimally invasive procedure can address any remaining imperfections, such as gaps or chips, providing a smoother and more polished appearance, further enhancing the beauty of your smile.
Invisible Aligner FAQs
We understand you may have questions regarding our invisible aligners. Our experienced team is ready to answer your questions and guide you throughout your treatment. Common questions include:
You can clean your aligner trays by brushing them gently with lukewarm water and a toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. You can also use aligner cleaning tablets or a mild soap solution.
Your treatment duration will depend on the severity of your case and your needs, but most people will wear clear aligners for 12-18 months. Our dentist will provide an estimated treatment plan timeline based on your case.
It may take a few days to adjust, but most people find that their speech returns to normal quickly after getting used to the aligners. Some may notice a slight lisp initially, but it generally resolves over time.
Typically, you will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks. Our dentist will provide specific instructions on when to switch to the next set of aligners.
