So your typical orthodontics is going to be that metal wire with a bunch of metal or white brackets. They go on every single tooth. The way that it works is you have to have both of them connected together, but they wind up being clunky, sharp, and not as aesthetically driven especially for adult patients. When you have a clear aligner system you have selective buttons placed on certain teeth that need additional movement and you have a clear aligner that is for the most part transparent. You use them together just like you would traditional braces. They tend to be a little bit more sleeker. They tend to be a lot less noticeable especially when cleaned appropriately. The duration of time is pretty much about the same.
Straighten Your Teeth With Clear Aligners
Many adults don’t have the chance to pursue orthodontics when they are young. So there’s no reason to feel self-conscious about pursuing treatment now. We offer clear aligners from SureSmile. These aligners are an easy way of straightening your teeth without anyone noticing. Plus, you can see results before you begin treatment, thanks to our Outcome Simulator.
Here’s how it works:
- You come in for a consultation, so can examine your alignment, oral health, and overall health.
- If you are a good candidate for aligners, your dentist will use digital scans to capture impressions of your teeth. This information is used to create your aligners.
- Your aligners are made at a special lab. You’ll return to our office to pick up your aligners. You’ll need to wear them for 20 to 22 hours per day. You’ll be able to remove them for meals and oral hygiene.
- We’ll have you come back for regular progress checkups. Your visit will be far more comfortable than you’d experience with traditional braces. No tightening of wires!
- In about 12 to 18 months, your treatment will be complete, and your smile will be beautiful.
