How Do In-Office Clear Aligners Work?

Instead of using metal brackets and wires to straighten your smile, we use a series of clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their new places. You will wear each set for about two weeks before moving onto the next set. Over the course of your treatment, your teeth will slowly move to their aligned positions. Unlike traditional metal braces, you don’t need to have anything tightened throughout the treatment process, but you will still attend appointments from time to time to ensure that everything is moving along as expected.

Who In-Office Clear Aligners Can Help

Clear aligners can address various misalignment issues. Here are some of the most common ones that our patients seek treatment for.

Crowded Teeth

For teeth that are crowded and overlapped, clear aligners are an excellent solution. The aligners apply gently pressure to certain parts of the teeth to slowly shift them into a more aligned position. This helps to prevent dental issues from developing in the future.

Gaps Between Teeth

When teeth are spaced too far apart, gaps become visible. Having these spaces can take away from appearance of your teeth, putting you at higher risk of oral health issues and tooth damage because plaque and food debris become easily trapped. Clear aligners can shift your teeth to be the ideal distance apart.

Bite Alignment

If your bite is misaligned, you can develop numerous issues, like temporomandibular joint disorder, (TMD) and bruxism (teeth clenching and grinding). Clear aligners are effective at fixing overbites, underbites, crossbites, and more.

The Benefits of In-Office Clear Aligners

Here are some of the most notable benefits that in-office clear aligners offer.

  • Comfort: No brackets and wires mean that you are less likely to experience soft-tissue irritation. Occasional soreness is normal, but it shouldn’t last long and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
  • No Dietary Restrictions: As long as you remove your clear aligners beforehand and brush and floss before putting them back in your mouth, you can enjoy any food that you want.
  • Discreet: Clear aligners are very difficult to detect. It’s unlikely that anyone will notice that you are wearing them.

How Much Do In-Office Clear Aligners Cost?
