CLEAR ALIGNERS: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE

Clear aligners are a popular alternative to traditional braces for people who want a straighter smile. In this ultimate guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about clear aligners, including what they are, how they work, and the benefits they offer. 

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of clear, plastic trays that are custom-made to fit your teeth. Each tray is designed to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position, using gentle, constant pressure. As you progress through the series of trays, your teeth will gradually move into their final, straightened position. 

How Do Clear Aligners Work?

Clear aligners work by using a series of trays that are custom-made to fit your teeth. Each tray is worn for a specified amount of time, typically around two weeks, before being replaced with the next tray in the series. Each tray is slightly different, using gentle pressure to move your teeth into the desired position.

Clear aligners are designed to be worn for 20-22 hours per day, only being removed for eating and brushing your teeth. This ensures that the treatment is as effective as possible, while still allowing you to maintain your normal daily routine.

Benefits of Clear Aligners

Clear aligners offer a range of benefits, including:

  • Aesthetics: Clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a more discreet option than traditional braces.
  • Comfort: Clear aligners are made of smooth, comfortable plastic, eliminating the irritation and discomfort often associated with traditional braces.
  • Convenience: Clear aligners are removable, allowing you to eat and brush your teeth normally.
  • Predictable results: Clear aligners are designed using 3D imaging technology, allowing for precise, predictable results.
  • Improved oral health: Clear aligners can help improve your oral health by making it easier to brush and floss your teeth.
Am I a Candidate for Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a popular option for people with mild to moderate orthodontic issues, such as crooked or spaced teeth. However, clear aligners may not be suitable for more complex cases, such as severe bite issues or significant tooth misalignment.  Dr. Brandon can evaluate your situation and determine if clear aligners are right for you.
