What were your goals for 2024? Run a marathon, eat better, or finally start the orthodontic treatment you’ve been putting off? We know the year is almost over, but that doesn’t mean you’re out of time to start these goals. If you have been wanting to begin orthodontic treatment but are intimidated by the thought of needing braces as an adult, we have a solution for you. Dr. Browne’s team in Prairie Village, KS, offers clear aligners that offer discretion and comfort for patients. In today’s blog, we’re here to tell you how you can get started on this process so you can end the year feeling more confident in your appearance.
Before you can get started with clear aligners, you will first need a consultation with your dentist. Dr. Browne will thoroughly examine your smile to assess the severity of your misalignment. This method of clear trays can help address a variety of misalignment concerns from mild to severe. If your spacing problems are more complex, your dentist might recommend that you seek more traditional orthodontic treatments such as braces. If you are approved for our rapid method, impressions will be taken of your smile to create your aligners and start treatment.
Clear aligners work by gradually shifting your teeth into the correct position. A series of trays is used to help move this process along. Traditionally, this can take around two years, but our fast method focuses on the most visible parts of your smile and treatment can take less than a year. When going through this process, it’s essential that you wear your trays every day for the majority of the day. You can remove them before meals and when doing your oral hygiene routine. Many patients find this method more comfortable than traditional braces because they are removable and are not visible to others.
Another significant advantage of this method is that it takes less time than traditional orthodontic methods. Popular treatments like Invisalign or clear braces can take around two years to complete. With our method, your smile will be corrected in a year or less. This means that if you start treatment before the end of the year, you can look and feel your best by Thanksgiving time next year. If you have been putting off orthodontic care due to worries about how much time it will take or how it can disrupt your appearance, clear aligners may be a great alternative for you.
