What Are Clear Braces?
Clear braces are orthodontic devices designed to straighten teeth while being less noticeable than traditional metal braces. They use brackets made from ceramic or plastic materials that blend with the natural color of your teeth, making them more discreet. Clear braces work by applying gentle pressure to gradually move teeth into the desired position, offering a more aesthetically pleasing option for orthodontic treatment.
Benefits of Invisible Braces
Clear aligners offer numerous advantages beyond just straightening your teeth. These benefits encompass both practical and aesthetic aspects of treatment, making them a popular choice for many seeking orthodontic solutions. Key benefits of invisible braces include:
- Discreet Appearance: Clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for those who prefer a more discreet option than traditional metal braces.
- Comfort: They are made from smooth plastic, which typically causes less irritation to the gums and inside of the mouth than metal braces with brackets and wires.
- Removability: Clear aligners can be easily removed for eating, drinking, and cleaning, allowing for more flexibility and convenience than fixed braces.
- Improved Oral Hygiene: Since our aligners are removable, you can brush and floss your teeth as usual, which helps maintain better oral hygiene throughout the treatment.
- Fewer Office Visits: With invisible braces, you may require fewer visits for adjustments compared to traditional braces, as the treatment is often more streamlined.
What Do Clear Braces Treat?
Our dentist recognizes clear aligners as a versatile orthodontic treatment option for addressing misalignments. With extensive experience, we can effectively treat mild to severe orthodontic cases, including:
- Crooked Teeth: Teeth that are misaligned, affecting both appearance and function.
- Crowded Teeth: Occurs when there isn't enough space in the jaw for all teeth, causing them to overlap or twist.
- Spacing Issues: Characterized by gaps between teeth, often due to missing teeth or teeth that are smaller relative to the jaw size.
- Overbite: When the upper front teeth significantly overlap the lower front teeth, which can lead to jaw or gum problems.
- Underbite: When the lower front teeth protrude past the upper front teeth, potentially causing jaw or joint issues.
- Crossbite: Some upper teeth fall inside the lower teeth when biting down, leading to wear, discomfort, or misalignment.
Our North Hollywood Clear Aligner Process
Our process for clear aligners starts with a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your dental needs and goals. During this initial visit, we carefully examine your teeth and discuss your desired outcomes. Based on this assessment, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to you. This plan outlines the sequence of movements required to achieve your ideal smile.
Once your treatment plan is finalized, we create a series of custom-made, clear aligners designed to shift your teeth into the desired position gradually. You will receive a set of aligners to wear for specified periods, typically changing to a new set every two weeks. We schedule follow-up appointments throughout your treatment to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. We aim to ensure that your treatment is smooth and effective, guiding you toward a beautifully aligned smile.
Invisible Braces FAQs
We understand you may have questions regarding invisible braces. Our team is ready to answer your questions and provide a streamlined treatment process. Common clear aligner questions include:
You will need to visit our office periodically, typically every 6-8 weeks, to monitor your progress and receive new aligners. These visits allow our dentist to check that your treatment is on track and allow for any necessary adjustments.
You should wear clear aligners for at least 22 hours a day. This includes wearing them while you sleep and throughout most of your daily activities. The only times you should remove them are for eating, drinking (except water), and brushing and flossing your teeth.
The duration of treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. Typically, treatment lasts between 12-24 months, but our dentist will provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific needs.
