Are you an adult with a misaligned smile? This could be caused by overcrowded teeth or too much space between them. Having an uneven grin may make you feel self-conscious and could cause other problems for your oral health. Dr. Browne’s team offers clear aligners that can help correct this discreetly and quicker than traditional methods. This allows you to improve your appearance without braces getting in the way of your smile.
Our unique approach to smile alignment is great for adult patients looking to correct their pearly whites. Clear aligners adjust the most visible teeth in your oral cavity, allowing for a quicker treatment time. If you are interested in beginning this method, you will need a consultation with Dr. Browne first. During this visit, he will examine your teeth to assess the severity of the problem. This option focuses on aesthetic concerns. If you have more severely crooked or overcrowded teeth, traditional orthodontic methods may be necessary instead. In many cases, patients who qualify for Invisalign are also good candidates for our clear trays as well.
Once approved for this method, your dentist will take impressions of your oral cavity. These will be used to estimate a treatment timeline and create your personalized trays. The process can take up to a year to complete, depending on your needs. This discreet option uses BPA-free acrylic to create the invisible trays. Some patients may be able to see results in as little as three months. You will wear these every day, taking them out only for your oral hygiene routine or during meals. Every few weeks, you will move on to the next set. This is what allows the teeth to gradually move positions. You must wear them for the majority of the day including at night when you sleep. Your dentist can give you specific instructions on caring for and cleaning your aligners.
There are many discreet orthodontic methods available for patients. Our method is unique in that it can be done in a shorter time. This may be beneficial for people who want to see their results rapidly. If you begin this process by the beginning of summer, you may be able to show off your straight smile by the end of the year. In addition to being a fast option, it offers discretion and comfort. Traditional options, such as braces, are highly visible to others and may not be desirable for adult patients. And, since you can take them out during meals, many people may find this option more comfortable and convenient.
