CLEAR ALIGNERS
Want a straighter smile? Then, clear aligners should be at the top of your list. They are just as effective as traditional braces while also providing more freedom, comfort, and discretion.
At Live Oak Dental Group, we take pride in providing Invisalign® and SureSmile®, offering personalized treatment plans to help you achieve the smile you've always wanted.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a type of orthodontic treatment that consists of a series of transparent, removable trays designed to gradually straighten teeth. They are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth and are virtually invisible when worn.
How Do Clear Aligners Work?
Like traditional braces, clear aligners work by applying gentle pressure to shift teeth into their desired positions. However, they offer the advantage of being removable, allowing for greater convenience when eating, brushing, and flossing.
Typically, every two weeks or so, you will transition to a new set of aligners to continue the progression of your treatment.
Are Clear Aligners Suitable for Everyone?
Clear aligners work well for most people with minor to moderate orthodontic problems such as crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, or mild bite issues. However, they may not be the best choice for severe cases such as significant misalignment or complex bite problems. It's always a good idea to talk to your dentist to see if they're right for you.
What’s the Step-by-Step Process for Clear Aligners Treatment?
- Consultation: Meet with your dentist for an assessment and to create a personalized treatment plan.
- Digital Treatment Design: Custom clear aligners are digitally designed to gradually shift your teeth.
- Treatment: Receive your first set of aligners. Enjoy the benefits of discretion and easy removal for eating, drinking, and cleaning.
- Wear and Progress Checks: Wear your aligners as instructed for 20 or 22 hours a day, attend periodic check-ups, and receive new aligners as needed to achieve your desired smile.
- Post-Treatment: Maintain your results by wearing a retainer as directed to prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
