Orthodontic therapy & Clear Aligners

Orthodontic therapy & Clear Aligners

Braces are the gold standard for orthodontic correction, but few adults do not wish to wear a mouthful of metal for a year or more while teeth are moved into better alignment. Clear aligners address this problem by offering a discreet alternative to metal braces. With this treatment, there are no brackets and wires. Instead, you’ll receive a customized series of clear aligners that you’ll wear for at least 22 hours every day. The aligners will straighten the teeth little by little over the course of several months or years until you achieve your cosmetic goals.

Did you know that orthodontic treatments can be successful for patients of all ages? Because of advancements in subtle orthodontics, adults are beginning to represent nearly half of all orthodontic patients. Clear Correct aligning trays are nearly invisible and so discreet that they have no effect on your day-to-day interactions. Although every patient is different, most adults can expect to wear Clear aligners for between one and two years.

Frequently Asked Questions

To find out if you are a candidate for Clear aligner, you must first schedule a consultation with us. Together, we can analyse the condition of your teeth and discuss your personal cosmetic goals.

If Clear aligner treatment is right for you, your treatment will begin with impressions and imaging of your teeth. Those images and impressions will be used to produce a prescriptive set of custom aligners designed to slowly move your teeth into alignment. You'll wear those aligners at all times with the exception of when you are eating, brushing or flossing your teeth.

Once your treatment is complete, you will no longer wear Clear aligners, but will likely require a retainer. Retainers are removable oral appliances designed to help retain the new position of your teeth and prevent them from moving back to their prior position.
