Clear aligners present a gentle and gradual approach to improving your smile by repositioning teeth over time. These transparent trays are worn sequentially to achieve the desired results, offering a popular alternative to traditional braces without the presence of brackets or wires. Known for their discreteness, comfort, and lack of mouth or gum irritation, clear aligners have become a preferred choice for orthodontic treatment.
Typically worn for 20-22 hours daily, the duration may vary based on the treatment plan and correction needed. The time worn every day depends on the patient’s treatment plan and the level of correction needed.
Who is a good candidate for clear aligners?
We understand the importance of a beautiful, straight smile and want our patients to feel proud of their smiles. Your smile is one of the first things people notice, and our team is dedicated to listening to your goals to help achieve the desired results.
Clear aligners are a popular option for both teens and adults, addressing issues like overcrowding, chewing difficulties, and overbites. This treatment is suitable for older teens and adults who can adhere to daily instructions and wear the aligners for the required time. Typically, the treatment duration ranges from 6 to 18 months, similar to traditional braces.
During our consultation, we discuss each patient’s age, level of correction needed, and smile goals to determine the best orthodontic treatment.
