Wilbraham Family Dentistry

What are clear aligners, and how do they work?

Clear aligners are an innovative and discreet orthodontic solution designed to straighten teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. These aligners are constructed from transparent, medical-grade plastic and are custom-made to fit each patient’s unique dental structure. By applying gentle, consistent pressure, clear aligners gradually shift teeth into their desired positions over time.

The treatment process begins with an initial consultation, during which your dentist evaluates your teeth and develops a personalized treatment plan using advanced 3-D imaging technology. This technology ensures the aligners are tailored for optimal fit and precision. Patients receive a series of aligners, each to be worn for approximately two weeks before transitioning to the next set in the sequence. Clear aligners are designed to be removable, allowing patients to eat, drink, brush, and floss with ease without the dietary and hygiene limitations often associated with braces.

The duration of treatment varies based on individual cases but typically spans from six months to two years. Regular checkups with your dentist are necessary to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed. Clear aligners are an excellent choice for individuals seeking a nearly invisible, comfortable, and effective way to achieve a straighter smile.
