Clear Aligners
Have you always wanted straighter teeth? Don’t want the hassle or unsightly appearance of braces? Get the smile you’ve always desired with clear aligners.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a series of clear, lightweight plastic trays that correct misaligned teeth in patients with permanent dentition (i.e. all second molars). With continuous gentle forces, clear aligners move teeth gradually to bring them into alignment. The trays are custom-made for each patient based on the mold of his or her teeth.
Don’t settle for unsightly traditional braces. Unlike braces, clear aligners are nearly invisible. They are comfortable, removable, and easy to clean. In many cases, clear aligners require less dental appointments, and you don’t need to visit an orthodontic specialist; your general dentist will provide your aligner treatment – this saves you time and money.
Start Your Journey to a Better Smile
The process for getting Clear Aligners is simple and requires only a few appointments. If you are a candidate for Clear Aligners, you will complete the treatment through your general dentist – there is no need to visit an orthodontist.
