What Makes Our Clear Aligners Different?

With so many orthodontic treatment methods available today, it can be hard to decide which option is right for your needs. Traditional braces can correct a variety of misalignment issues, Invisalign can do this discreetly, and our method can improve your smile in a shorter amount of time. In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist is here to explain the differences between other methods and our clear aligners.

We Focus On The Most Visible Parts Of Your Smile

Our method focuses on correcting the most visible teeth in your smile. With this approach, you may be able to have straighter teeth in less than a year. Other methods, like metal braces or Invisalign, can take more than a year to complete because they focus on correcting each of your dental structures. Before starting this process, you will first need a consultation with our dentist, where they will examine your oral cavity and assess the severity of your concerns. Our method is most suitable for patients with mildly uneven or crooked teeth. If you have more severe problems with overcrowding or gaps, your dentist may suggest a different treatment.

Your Treatment Can Be Accomplished In Less Time

Metal braces can take around one and a half to two years to complete, depending on your orthodontic concerns and personal needs. For some patients, this may seem an acceptable amount of time. Other patients would like to have their smile straightened in less time so they can feel confident for an important event coming up in the next few months. The benefit of our clear trays is that they are discreet, and you may complete treatment in as little as three months. This means that if you have a special occasion coming up, others will not notice your trays in person or in pictures. Depending on your needs, your treatment could be completed by the end of the year if you begin the process before the end of summer.

Our Trays Are Discreet And Comfortable

Our clear trays are made out of a virtually invisible acrylic material. Your series of aligners will be created based on impressions taken of your smile and should fit snuggly to your teeth without causing discomfort. Unlike metal braces, you won’t have to worry about pesky wires or brackets disrupting your smile’s appearance or limiting the meals you can eat. You will wear your trays for the majority of the day but can remove them for meals and to do your oral hygiene routine. The material is clear, so others will not be able to detect that you are wearing aligners.
