Clear aligners have transformed the way people achieve straighter teeth. At North Rivers Dental Associates, we’re proud to offer this comfortable, discreet alternative to traditional braces. If you're looking to fix gaps, crowded teeth, or bite issues, clear aligners are a simple, effective solution that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable trays to move your teeth into the correct position gently. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners don't require brackets or wires, making them a less invasive, invisible way to straighten your teeth.
Clear aligners can correct a variety of dental issues, including:
- Gaps between teeth
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Mild to moderate bite issues, such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites
Whether you’re an adult or a teen, clear aligners can provide an effective, low-maintenance way to achieve a straighter smile.
How Do Clear Aligners Work?
Each clear aligner tray is designed to make small adjustments over time, following a simple step-by-step process:
- Initial Consultation: We’ll assess your smile, take digital scans, and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Custom Aligners: We use state-of-the-art technology to craft your custom set of aligners.
- Wearing Aligners: You’ll wear each aligner in the set for 20–22 hours a day, changing to a new set every 1–2 weeks. You will need to remove them only when brushing, eating, and drinking (except water).
- Progress Monitoring: We will schedule regular check-ins to ensure your teeth are moving as planned.
How Long Does Clear Aligner Treatment Take?
Treatment time depends on your specific orthodontic needs but typically ranges from 6 to 18 months. During your consultation at North Rivers Dental Associates, we’ll give you an estimated timeline and answer all your questions.
