What are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are an advanced orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, removable trays to gradually straighten your teeth. These nearly invisible trays have transformed the orthodontics industry, offering a comfortable and discreet alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign and other clear aligner systems have become popular options for both teens and adults seeking a subtle way to align their teeth without the noticeable look of metal braces.
How Do Clear Aligners Work?
Clear aligners work by applying gentle pressure to your teeth over time, gradually moving them into the correct position. The process begins with a consultation where Dr. Blair or Dr. Riccio will take digital scans and impressions of your teeth to create a 3D model. This model is used to design a series of aligners that will progressively shift your teeth into alignment.
Each aligner is worn for about one to two weeks before progressing to the next set. For the best results, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, allowing you to remove them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Regular check-ups are scheduled throughout your treatment to ensure your teeth are moving as planned and to make any necessary adjustments.
Clear aligners are a comfortable and convenient way to straighten your teeth without the discomfort or visibility of traditional braces. Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete their treatment within 12 to 18 months, achieving a beautifully aligned smile without the hassle of metal brackets and wires.
