Is your smile as straight as you would like to be? If you think you would benefit from orthodontic correction but are hesitant to wear traditional metal braces, you have another option. With Orthodontic Clear Aligners, we can provide a beautiful, straighter grin, without the imposing appearance of permanent metal brackets. Clear aligners are removable during the treatment period, allowing you to enjoy better oral hygiene. This is because you do not have to worry about food becoming stuck on your appliance or navigate permanent wires when brushing or flossing. By taking an X-ray of your current smile, we can project what you will look like after orthodontic therapy. This same data is used to generate a custom set of BPA-free, translucent trays that you will wear over the coming months. Instead of visiting over and over for constant adjustments, we will simply provide another pair of trays when you complete each set. Many patients find this arrangement far more convenient than when considering traditional braces.

At your Praire Village, KS, dental office, we look forward to helping you realize the smile of your dreams. If you have problems with crowding, crooked teeth, or other spacing issues, we can examine your smile to determine if you would benefit from Orthodontic Clear Aligners. This therapy takes a cosmetic approach by focusing on the teeth in the front of your smile. By minimizing the area of your smile we focus on, you can enjoy results in a fraction of the time compared to other methods.

Would the look of your smile improve if it were a bit straighter? If you have been thinking about ways to correct the alignment of your bite, consider an alternative to traditional metal braces. Orthodontic Clear Aligners target the visible portion of your smile to bring the esthetic results you crave in a shorter period. By taking a custom imprint of your smile, we can project how your appearance will improve after this treatment. We send your file to an offsite lab to create pairs of trays that you wear in succession. As the weeks go on, your trays pull teeth closer and closer to the desired outcome. You will soon learn that a more uniform grin is easier to clean! When teeth crowd or become crooked, even the most steadfast oral hygiene routine can leave bacterial deposits in places you are unable to reach. Similarly, because clear aligners are removable, you will have an easier time brushing compared to when wearing permanent metal braces.

At your Prairie Village, KS, dental office, we help our patients envision results and provide them in quick order! By exploring your options for alternative orthodontic correction, you can receive the same benefits with less of an impact on your current look. Clear aligners rely on a BPA-free, translucent material that is nearly invisible to the naked eye. That means it’s your choice to reveal your new appliance to friends and family or leave it a secret!

Have you been thinking about services to help you straighten your smile? If your teeth crowd, are crooked or have other spacing issues, Orthodontic Clear Aligners provide the same straight smile as traditional bracket-and-wire braces with additional benefits. While most consider the esthetic effect a set of braces or clear aligners can provide, straightening your smile greatly increases your ability to fight tooth decay. This is because bringing your teeth into a more desirable position reveals their entire surface for brushing and flossing. When your teeth crowd, even the most rigorous brushing cannot clear all pockets of oral bacteria. Without treatment, this raises your incidence of decay and the potential for gum infection. By inspecting your level of dental misalignment, we can determine if you are a quality candidate for clear aligner treatment.

At your Prairie Village, KS, dental office, we look forward to helping you straighten your smile. When exploring your options for orthodontic correction, we explain the functional and health benefits that come in addition to your cosmetic upgrade. That means that by enhancing your cleaning ability, you prevent the need for more involved restorative procedures later in life.
