What are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, removable trays to gradually straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for both teens and adults.
Since their introduction, clear aligners have transformed the orthodontics industry by offering a more aesthetic and comfortable alternative to metal braces. They have become increasingly popular due to their effectiveness and convenience.
How Clear Aligners Work
The clear aligner treatment process begins with a comprehensive consultation at Smith & Smith Orthodontics. Dr. Brian D. Smith or Dr. Lynn H. Smith will evaluate your teeth and bite using advanced 3D imaging technology to create a precise digital model of your mouth. Based on this model, a personalized treatment plan is developed, mapping out the exact movements of your teeth. A series of custom aligners is then created specifically for you. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, gradually moving your teeth into alignment. You must wear the aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Regular check-ups with Dr. Smith ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. Over time, the aligners will gradually shift your teeth into the desired position, resulting in a beautifully aligned smile.
Advantages of Choosing Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer many benefits over traditional braces. They are virtually invisible, allowing for discreet teeth straightening, which is particularly appealing to adults and teens. Being removable, clear aligners provide the flexibility to eat and drink without restrictions and make maintaining oral hygiene easy. Made from smooth, comfortable plastic, they reduce the risk of irritation and discomfort often associated with metal braces. The treatment usually requires fewer office visits, making it convenient for busy individuals. With a customized treatment plan, clear aligners ensure precise and efficient teeth movement, resulting in a beautifully aligned smile.
