One of the main reasons why people may be hesitant to straighten their teeth as adults is because you have the metal brackets on your teeth that are highly visible. We offer clear aligners here. They can work just as well as traditional braces do, but without having to have all that metal in your mouth. And so, typically, with the aligners, you can get your teeth straightened in less than a year and really change the way your smile is.
They’re very simple to take in and out. You just have to wear them throughout most of the day and take them out when you eat. So they’re really super easy to use and can be really effective in giving you that straight smile that you want.
Well, most people wanna go with the clear-aligner route because of the ease of use and just the overall aesthetics of it. Most people don’t even notice that you have them. They’re so simple to use. They aren’t sharp like your traditional braces are. And so the clear aligners really kind of are the way to go in the 21st century with as far as straightening your teeth.
Enjoy Your Orthodontic Treatment Using Clear Teeth Aligners
Your clear aligners:
- Will fit snugly over your teeth, gently moving them into their proper positions
- Won’t interfere with your ability to speak or smile
- Are easy to get used to, unlike metal braces
- Can be removed for eating, brushing, or special occasions
You’ll want to wear your aligners for at least 20-22 hours a day to maximize your treatment period. Wearing your aligners for the proper length of time each day will keep your treatment as short as possible. In fact, many of our patients complete their treatment in as few as 12 months. Some patients take longer and some shorter. Your dentist will give you an estimate on your treatment period at your initial consultation.
We can even show you a digital image of your new smile before you ever begin treatment. You’ll know just what to expect from your clear aligners.
Most people will never notice that you’re wearing aligners. They will blend in naturally with your smile, so your orthodontic treatment can be your secret unless you choose to tell others.
Clear Aligners Correct an Array of Orthodontic Issues
While Invisalign clear aligners may not have metal wires and brackets, they can still solve many orthodontic problems like traditional braces would. You may consider this treatment if you have:
- Crooked teeth
- Overcrowded or overlapping teeth
- Uneven spacing
- Crossbites, underbites, and overbites
We recommend this treatment for patients 15 and older with no upper age limit. In some cases, you may need braces to correct your orthodontic issues. If so, we offer both traditional metal braces and clear ceramic braces. Clear braces are a good option if you want your treatment to be less noticeable.
Combine Your Treatment With Cosmetic Solutions
Once you have completed your aligner treatment, you may want to create an extra “wow” effect by pursuing cosmetic treatments. You may consider:
- Affordable dental bonding to correct imperfections
- Same-day dental veneers for perfect teeth that lasts for years
- Professional teeth whitening to eliminate stains
You’ll love how you feel when you walk out of our office with your transformed smile!
