Clear aligners can be an effective orthodontic treatment option for mild to moderate overcrowding, gaps, and specific bite problems, making them an attractive alternative to traditional braces.
Our clear aligners, such as Smile Styler and Angle Align, are invisible braces that offer a discreet and comfortable orthodontic treatment process. They can be as effective as conventional braces in treating various orthodontic issues. They may be the best choice for those seeking a more subtle, less visible approach to orthodontic treatment.
However, traditional braces may be a better option in more severe cases. Regardless, our expert team is here to help you make the best decision for your orthodontic treatment needs.
On average, orthodontic treatment with aligners can take 6 to 18 months, depending on the case’s complexity. The time frame for straightening misaligned teeth with clear aligners is usually shorter than with conventional metal braces.
Patients can obtain the desired result faster with custom-made aligners than conventional orthodontics treatment. This allows for a more precise fit and faster treatment time than traditional braces.
With clear aligners, patients can achieve their desired results quickly while receiving the same quality and care as traditional orthodontic treatments.
When using clear aligners, it is vital to understand the limitations of eating and drinking with them in place. Generally speaking, clear aligners can be removed when eating or drinking and cleaned before reinserting.
Drinking water with clear aligners in is perfectly fine. However, they should be removed when drinking coloured or sugary beverages to prevent staining the aligners or risking tooth decay.
Patients with clear aligners should consult their go-to dentist, such as our experienced dentists at Clyde North Dental Studio, for advice if they have any questions or concerns regarding eating and drinking.
Regular visits to a qualified dental professional are essential to ensure proper treatment progression during clear aligner therapy. At Clyde North Dental Studio, we typically recommend check-ups every 6 to 8 weeks to monitor progress, adjust treatment plans, and address any concerns. The frequency of dental care appointments can differ depending on the individual’s treatment plan.
Aligned teeth are a key benefit of clear aligner therapy. Our expert dentists are highly experienced in brace fitting and orthodontic braces. We strive to provide the best results through our combination of treatments and quality care.
Proper care and maintenance of clear aligners are essential to maintain their effectiveness and comfort throughout treatment. Clear aligners are made of clear plastic that fits over the teeth and can be removed for eating, cleaning and other activities.
At Clyde North Dental Studio, we provide comprehensive instructions on caring for your aligners to ensure a complete smile makeover. We understand that clear aligners are an investment and strive to ensure our patients receive the best care possible.
Wearing a retainer after completing your clear aligner treatment is generally recommended to maintain the new position of your teeth. Much like clear aligners, retainers are custom-made to fit your teeth. They help ensure your teeth don’t return to their original positions, safeguarding your newly aligned smile.
The type of retainer and the duration you’ll need to wear it can vary. Some patients might need to wear retainers full-time initially, switching to only nights later. Our Clyde North Dental Studio dentists will provide personalised advice based on your treatment results and individual needs.
