Orthodontic Treatment with Clear Aligners
Many patients want to improve and straighten their smiles with orthodontic treatment, but are deterred by commitment to a highly visible treatment with traditional braces. Invisalign and ClearCorrect make it easy to get a straighter, more aesthetically pleasing smile without the hassle of wires and rubber bands. The aligners are nearly invisible, so nobody will need to know that you’re in the middle of orthodontic treatment!
Unique Benefits of Clear Aligners
Advantages of Invisalign & ClearCorrect
- Clear aligners are virtually invisible when worn and they do not affect your ability to speak. This makes them an especially good choice for adults who may be worried about the social stigma of braces.
- Invisalign and ClearCorrect are removable, which means there are no dietary restrictions and it’s easier to keep your teeth clean throughout treatment.
- Wearing aligners is more comfortable than wearing traditional braces since no sharp metal pieces are involved.
- Aligners exert a more gradual, even pressure when correcting your teeth and treatment time is typically faster than traditional braces.
Typical Treatment Time
with clear aligners
If you wear your aligners properly, the average treatment time is under a year. Patients will typically need about 20-24 sets of aligners to complete treatment, and each set will be worn for 20-22+ hours per day. However, if you break or lose an aligner, or if you fail to wear your aligners for a minimum of 20 hours per day, your treatment may take longer. The duration of your treatment also depends on the specifics of your orthodontic needs. Schedule a consultation at Southernmost Smiles to learn more about how Invisalign and ClearCorrect can help!
