How Clear Aligners Work
Clear aligners are custom-made plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth, and gentle pressure is applied to shift them over time. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next in the series; the total number of aligners will depend on your specific needs.
Your teeth will gradually align throughout your orthodontic treatment until they reach their final position. Our skilled dentists will evaluate your bite and alignment, then build a detailed treatment plan for your lifestyle and specific needs.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
Patients choose clear aligners for their simplicity, appearance, and results. Here’s why they’re a significant advantage for many adults and teens:
Nearly Invisible
When worn, clear aligners are nearly invisible, making them a favorite among adults and teens who want to straighten their teeth without the look of metal braces. Whether you’re in a meeting, out with friends, or taking photos, you can feel confident knowing your aligners are working quietly in the background.
Removable
Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners can be removed when you eat, brush, and floss. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene throughout your treatment and enjoy your favorite foods without restriction, reducing the risk of trapping food particles between your teeth.
Comfort
Each set of aligners is custom-made to guide your teeth into their desired position. With no brackets or wires to irritate your gums, most patients find aligners a more comfortable option throughout their orthodontic treatment.
Better Oral Hygiene
Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is crucial during orthodontic treatment; clear aligners make this task easier. Because they are removable, you can easily brush and floss your teeth after meals without the hassle of brackets and wires, making brushing a quick part of your routine.
Fewer Office Visits
Thanks to advanced technology, your aligners are designed for you to progress at home—switch to the next set on your treatment plan’s recommended schedule. This means fewer visits to one of our Columbus locations than with bracket-and-wire systems, making aligners a great choice for busy schedules.
Is Clear Aligner Treatment Right for You?
Clear aligners can treat many types of orthodontic concerns, but they’re not right for everyone. Severe cases or complex treatment needs may still require traditional braces. That’s why a thorough consultation is essential. We’ll assess your bite, discuss your goals, and determine the best way to move forward based on your specific case.
