Clear Aligners

If you have misaligned, crooked teeth and are looking for a fast and effective treatment to help you attain a smile you always wanted, clear aligners may be the right choice for you. Clear Aligners are often referred to as Invisalign, and are a great alternative to traditional braces, which usually require a longer treatment time, create an unfavorable appearance “brace face”, and make dental hygiene much more difficult, which in turn can cause other issues such as tooth demineralization and tooth decay. Clear aligners are virtually invisible, easy to wear, and can help correct mild to moderate misalignment.

All you have to do is undergo a comprehensive evaluation to ensure no treatment contraindications exist. After capturing a digital impression, our software creates a virtual model of your dentition and enables our doctor to design a customized plan to move your teeth into a desired position. Then, tooth-colored buttons are placed on to the teeth to help with rotation and positioning, and the treatment plan is sent to a local lab for tray fabrication. These plastic trays are similar to a mouth guard, they are removed before meals and prior to oral hygiene. Each of the trays should be worn for a minimum 22 hours per day for a time period recommended by your doctor. Office visits are done once every 6 weeks to ensure treatment is progressing as planned. That’s all there is to it, in 12-15 months you will have straight teeth and a gorgeous smile. Give us a call and see if clear aligners are the right choice for you!
