Could Clear Aligners Correct Smiles In Just One Year?

With metal braces, your uneven teeth can be corrected, but this requires a serious time commitment. Patients usually have to wear them for at least two years. But with our orthodontic clear aligners, we could offer straighter smiles in a shorter time frame! In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about correct smiles in one year with our orthodontic clear aligners!

Reduced Treatment Times

How long does braces take to correct your smile? Typically, they require at least two years, as the bone and gums need to reform around the new positions of the teeth and this takes time to complete. But! With our clear orthodontic system, we can offer an even smile in as little as one year. The procedure focuses on repositioning your front facing teeth instead of the ones on the upper and lower dental bridges. Which means the alignment process only takes a year or less to complete, half the time braces require, and you can have the even and attractive smile you have dreamed about!

Creating Your Clear Aligners

How do you get started? Our team will first take a close look at your smile to assess the cause and severity of your dental misalignment, making sure this treatment option is best for you. If we find you are a good candidate for our orthodontic clear aligners, then our team will take detailed digital images of your smile, and gather measurements as well. We use the information in our dental lab setting to design and craft them from a BPA-free plastic material, one that is clear in appearance. Each set will fit comfortably and help push your smile closer and closer to its optimal appearance.

Other Benefits for Our Patients

Undergoing treatment with clear aligners means your braces will be nearly invisible. They also fit comfortably, require less time for treatment, and require fewer office visits too! Did you know you can remove them? Unlike with braces, you can take these out before you eat to avoid food and drinks being caught in orthodontics, and to avoid the need to change your diet. Being removable also means your brushing and flossing each day is much simpler, and that the risk of tooth decay, teeth stains, and gum disease are much lower.
