How Clear Aligners Works
Since there aren’t any brackets or wires, you might be wondering how clear aligners works. Basically, Dr. Toufeek Dabah will use a series of custom-made, see-through trays to gently guide your teeth into their properly aligned positions. You’ll wear each tray for 20+ hours a day and switch to a new set every 7-14 days. Before your eyes, you’ll see your teeth get straighter and straighter – sometimes in as little as six months!
Indications for Clear Aligners
Since clear aligners is a versatile orthodontic treatment, it can effectively address the following issues:
Crowded Teeth
Overcrowding is one of the most common orthodontic issues, and clear aligners is up for the task of addressing it! With the clear trays, we can move your teeth carefully into their properly aligned positions so you have a more beautiful, healthy, and functional smile.
Gaps Between Teeth
While some patients embrace the gap between their two front teeth, others don’t. The good news is that clear aligners can gently push your teeth closer and closer together until the gaps eventually disappear entirely.
Bite Alignment
Orthodontic problems extend beyond how straight your teeth are; the alignment of your bite also matters! Fortunately, clear aligners can effectively correct overbites, underbites, and the like, improving the function of your smile as well as your confidence.
The Benefits of Clear Aligners
Of course, one of the biggest benefits of clear aligners is in the name: it’s clear! As a result, image-conscious teens and adults can straighten their teeth without drawing unwanted attention to their smiles. Plus, since the aligners aren’t bonded to your teeth, you can take them out before eating or completing your oral hygiene regimen – that means no dietary restrictions or cumbersome flossing regimens. Lastly, the average treatment timeline with clear aligners is significantly shorter than traditional braces, so you’ll have the gorgeous smile you’ve always wanted sooner as well!
