The Invisible Clear Aligners Difference

Invisible Clear Aligners is an aligner system that uses a series of clear plastic, removable dental trays to correct misalignments. Worn directly over the teeth, these dental trays are much less visible than traditional orthodontic options. Because they are custom-made for each patient’s smile, they are also quite comfortable. Patients wear each tray for about three weeks before switching it out for the next in the series. In this way, the aligners gradually reposition your bite until they are in the desired alignment.

The Benefits of Invisible Clear Aligners

Like teeth whitening and porcelain veneers, one of the biggest attractions of Invisible Clear Aligners is its aesthetic appeal. However, that is not the only advantage the treatment offers over traditional orthodontics: in many cases, the Invisible Clear Aligners aligner system is often a more comfortable and convenient option for straightening your smile. Because the trays are removable, patients can eat their favorite foods and perform their oral hygiene routine without the hindrance of wires, brackets, and rubber bands. The smooth plastic trays are also less irritating to the gums and cheeks than traditional braces, which can cause sores.

Although not as powerful as traditional braces, the Invisible Clear Aligners system can still correct a wide range of tooth alignment issues, including turned/crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, crowded teeth, underbites, and overbites. In certain cases, Invisible Clear Aligners can also help correct bite issues contributing to TMJ disorder and thus can also ease some of the associated symptoms.

The Invisible Clear Aligners Experience

Treatment begins with a simple diagnostic exam at the Peak Family Dental Care office. Through this assessment, our doctors can determine how your teeth should be moved to achieve proper alignment. After the visual and tactile exam, our team can take a series of in-depth images with a 3-D x-ray machine. This data is sent to a trusted Invisible Clear Aligners laboratory and used to create your customized aligners.

Once your aligners are fabricated and returned to our practice, we will reach out to schedule a second appointment, where you will receive your first aligner. After this point, patients typically return for a check-up and the next aligner in the series every three weeks or so. Patients will need to wear their aligners about 22 hours a day, taking the trays out only for eating and hygiene purposes. Your Invisible Clear Aligners timeline will depend on the severity of your tooth alignment and bite problems. While case lengths will vary, most patients need 12 to 18 months to complete treatment.
