Clear Aligner Process
You will receive a set of clear aligners that are to be worn according to your dentist’s instructions. These aligners exert gentle pressure on your teeth, gradually shifting them into their desired positions. You will progress to a new aligner every week or as directed by your dentist.
Retainers for Long-Term Results
Upon completion of the aligner course, retainers are necessary to maintain your newly straightened smile. Your dentist will provide guidance on the usage of retainers to ensure your teeth remain properly aligned.
Benefits of Clear Aligners Instead of Braces
Easy Removability
Clear aligners are easily removable, allowing for convenient brushing, flossing, and eating. Unlike traditional braces, there are no dietary restrictions, and maintaining oral hygiene is hassle-free.
Invisible Appearance
The clear plastic material of aligners is stain-resistant and virtually invisible when worn. You can confidently go about your daily activities without others noticing your orthodontic treatment.
Enhanced Comfort
Clear aligner trays are designed for comfort, allowing for 24-hour wear, including during sleep, without causing discomfort or irritation. Unlike metal braces, aligners do not cause sores or irritation in the mouth.
Fewer Dental Visits
With clear aligners, you will receive a series of aligners in advance and change them at home according to your treatment plan. This means fewer in-office visits compared to traditional braces, saving you time and convenience.
Simplified Dental Hygiene
Removable aligners make it easy to maintain your dental hygiene routine. Brushing and flossing are unobstructed, promoting optimal oral health throughout your teeth straightening journey.
