Why Choose Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners come with a multitude of benefits, making them a popular choice among adults and teens seeking orthodontic treatment. Key advantages include:
- Invisible Appearance: Clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without the noticeable metal brackets and wires associated with traditional braces.
- Comfortable Fit: Their smooth design minimizes irritation to your gums and cheeks, providing a comfortable orthodontic experience.
- Removability: Unlike conventional braces, clear aligners can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, promoting excellent oral hygiene and enabling you to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.
How Do Clear Aligners Work?
The journey to a straighter smile begins with a digital scan of your teeth. Our experienced dentists and dedicated team will utilize this scan to develop a personalized treatment plan specifically tailored for your smile. Each set of aligners is typically worn for one to two weeks as your teeth are gradually shifted into alignment. Throughout your treatment, regular check-ins with Dr. Gayle Fletcher or Dr. Xin Li will ensure that your progress is monitored and adjustments are made as needed.
