Our examination process to identify if you are a good candidate for clear aligner treatment is performed in a single day. We will diagnose the cause of your dental misalignment and determine if they can be moved into a more attractive position. We focus primarily on the esthetics of your smile, which often allows correction to be achieved within less than a year compared to the multiyear schedule that other orthodontic services may require. To treat your smile, we will deliver a set of clear plastic trays uniquely designed to fit the shape and contour of your teeth. Each individual tray will make gradual, targeted adjustments to move your smile into proper position. We encourage you to wear each tray according to schedule throughout your entire day, but you can remove them to brush your teeth and at meal time.
Our treatment is a popular alternative for older teens and adults who want to improve their looks with discretion in school or the workplace. Our orthodontic clear appliances are nearly invisible to the naked eye, unlike traditional metal bracket and wire devices. Standard braces can make flossing a real chore, but you will perform your daily hygiene routine by simply removing and replacing your tray before and after brushing. Furthermore, our solution provides comfort through form-fitting acrylics customized to the contours of your teeth. They will not scrape or poke the soft insides of your cheeks with harder materials. For many patients, the greatest benefit is how quickly treatment takes to complete. You may be surprised to finish the entire cycle of trays in less time than you may anticipate.
By moving your teeth into a well-proportioned alignment, clear aligners can improve the appearance of your smile in less time than many traditional orthodontic braces solutions. If you would like to find out more about the benefits of improving your smile with this method, please reach out to your Prairie Village, KS dentist’s office at 913-901-8585.
