Many people dislike braces because of their visibility. At Lifeworks Dental, our talented dentists can provide you with a clear aligner system that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth while allowing you to display the natural beauty of your smile. Clear aligners offer a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces, making them a popular choice for both teens and adults.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays that fit snugly over your teeth and gradually move them into the desired position. These aligners are designed to be virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without the noticeable appearance of metal braces. They are also removable, giving you the flexibility to eat, drink, brush, and floss with ease.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
- Discreet Appearance: Clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention.
- Comfortable Fit: Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, clear aligners are comfortable to wear and less likely to irritate your gums and cheeks.
- Removable: Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.
- Convenient: With fewer office visits required for adjustments, clear aligners are a convenient option for busy individuals.
- Effective: Clear aligners are effective for treating a variety of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, and misaligned bites.
How Clear Aligners Work
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, our dentists will evaluate your teeth and discuss your orthodontic needs and goals. If clear aligners are suitable for you, we will take digital impressions of your teeth to create your custom aligners.
- Custom Treatment Plan: Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we will design a personalized treatment plan that outlines the movements of your teeth and the expected duration of your treatment.
- Aligner Series: You will receive a series of clear aligners, each designed to be worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next set. Each aligner will gradually move your teeth closer to the desired position.
- Regular Check-Ups: Periodic check-ups with our dentists will ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. These appointments are usually quick and easy, requiring fewer visits than traditional braces.
- Completion and Retention: Once your treatment is complete, you will receive a retainer to help maintain your new smile and prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
