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.

Fort Washington Dental Associates offers clear aligners as an advanced and patient-friendly solution for achieving a straight and confident smile. With their removable and virtually invisible design, clear aligners provide numerous benefits over traditional braces, including enhanced comfort, convenience, and improved dental hygiene.

Dr. Lee was incredibly kind, clear, and thorough when I went for a consultation. Doctors who spend time explaining things to a patient and giving them the best and most affordable options do not abound these days. He is very smart too. Strongly recommended!
