As one of the most popular and quickest methods for straightening smiles, Invisalign is an incredible option for achieving your dream grin. This innovative treatment uses a series of custom-made clear aligners designed to gradually move your teeth into proper placement, allowing you to undergo orthodontics without needing traditional metal wires and brackets. The best thing about it: most people won’t even know you’re wearing the clear trays! This discreet method is also relatively quicker than traditional braces, on average, and you might even expect your results to be completed after 12 to 18 months!
Similar to Invisalign, the 3M Clarity Aligner system utilizes personalized clear trays to shift pearly whites into a more uniform smile. Your aligners will be virtually invisible while wearing them and they’re also completely removable, meaning you’ll be free to enjoy your typical meals without worrying about food restrictions. This also allows patients to clean their smiles more effectively throughout the process, ensuring better oral health in the long run. Typically, you’ll need to wear your series of aligners for 20-22 hours every day until you’ve accomplished the straighter smile you’ve been dreaming of.
Although very much like traditional braces, clear or ceramic ones can straighten your teeth using see-through material. This will allow you to feel more comfortable showing off your smile during the treatment, as your braces will blend more closely with the rest of your teeth. If you feel more self-conscious about your treatment but require the traditional orthodontic method, this solution is one of the best ways to go about it!
Orthodontic issues can present themselves as early as age seven. For this reason, our team recommends parents have their children undergo an evaluation no later than that age in case we can address potential bite misalignment early on. With Phase 1 and 2 orthodontics, we can correct problems with baby teeth that can help adult teeth come out in their proper positions as your child develops. This in turn can help ensure that they grow up with a straighter smile, avoiding the need for braces or clear aligners in the future.
Once you or your child has undergone orthodontic treatment, you’ll need a way to maintain your results to make sure your teeth don’t end up shifting back to their original positions. This is where retainers come into play! These oral appliances are designed to be worn all day for a certain amount of time until your orthodontist changes your schedule to only require having them on overnight.
