How Clear Aligners Work

Clear aligners are made to shift teeth over time, all without traditional metal. Each set is crafted based on impressions taken of your smile and the changes that must occur throughout treatment. When changing to a new set of aligners, your teeth will begin to move toward the desired position. You will need to wear your trays for 20-22 hours a day for about 2 weeks at a time. This will keep everything moving in the right direction so that you don’t experience delays. You will also need to maintain regular follow-up appointments, so our team can monitor your progress.

Who Clear Aligners Can Help

If you are wondering whether you’re a candidate for clear aligners, you’ll be pleased to discover that most individuals can achieve lifelong results with this metal-free alternative. Once limited to treating minor orthodontic issues, clear aligners can now address more complex cases of overcrowding, gaps, and bite misalignment.

Crowded Teeth

If your teeth are too close together, this can make brushing and flossing increasingly difficult. As a result, you may increase your risk of dental decay and gum disease. With clear aligners, your teeth will begin to move just enough to improve oral health and aesthetics.

Gaps Between Teeth

When teeth are too far apart, food and bacteria can become trapped. This can cause cavities and other serious oral health problems if left untreated. Clear aligners can bring these teeth together, closing the gap and creating not only a beautiful appearance but also a healthier smile.

Bite Alignment

Regardless of the type of malocclusion you experience (overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite), clear aligners can bring everything into proper alignment for improved eating, speaking, and smiling. Instead of dealing with jaw soreness and worn-down tooth enamel, we can reposition your bite so all that is left is a fluid, fully functioning smile.

The Benefits of Clear Aligners

When comparing clear aligners to traditional braces, you’ll discover the benefits that metal appliances cannot provide, such as:

The ability to eat all your favorite foods since you won’t need to worry about food getting stuck between brackets and wires.
Easy-to-maintain braces that don’t require special products to keep clean.
A flexible orthodontic solution that allows you to remove your aligners a few hours each day to eat, clean your teeth (and trays), and play sports or an instrument.
Faster results, on average, when compared to traditional braces (12-18 months versus 2-3 years)
