Custom Treatment To Gradually Align Teeth While Fitting Your Lifestyle
Like thin mouthguards, clear aligners look like plastic shell trays that precisely fit over your teeth. When you wear them, your teeth will gradually move into optimal alignment. Clear aligner treatments can be the answer you’ve been searching for if your orthodontic issues are minor to moderate. Dr. Danos can straighten your teeth without anybody noticing, thanks to these nearly invisible metal-free aligners.
How Clear Aligners Work
To shift your teeth into optimal alignment, clear aligners progressively exert pressure throughout a specific treatment period. Your teeth will progressively realign if you wear these invisible braces for at least 22 hours per day. At Danos Dental, Dr. Danos will examine your bite alignment and take a digital 3D impression of your teeth to develop a precise treatment plan to straighten your teeth.
After we create the series of clear aligners, you will receive instructions on how to wear them and when to replace them (typically every two weeks) until your teeth are properly aligned. To prevent bacterial accumulation, remove your clear aligners before eating, brushing, or flossing.
A clear alignment treatment typically takes six to twenty-four months to complete. If you wore metal braces as a child and your teeth have moved slightly over time, you may only need clear aligners for 10 weeks. The number of clear aligners you need and the duration of your treatment will depend on your particular orthodontic issue. If your bite is more irregular or your teeth are more crooked, then you may need a longer treatment.
