Clear aligners are an innovative, cosmetic alternative to traditional metal braces, offering a discreet way to straighten teeth. At Advanced Dentures and Implants Carrollton, we provide custom-made clear aligners that gradually and gently shift teeth into their proper positions, giving you a beautifully aligned smile.

How Do Clear Aligners Work?

Clear aligners function similarly to braces but without the noticeable metal brackets and wires. They use a series of custom-designed, removable trays made from strong plastic material. Here’s how the process works:

• Custom Design: Digital impressions or scans of your teeth are taken to create a 3D model. This model is used to design a series of aligners, each slightly adjusting the teeth’s position.
• Gradual Shifts: Each set of aligners is worn for about 22 hours daily and switched every one to two weeks. The aligners exert gentle, controlled pressure to guide teeth into place.
• Monitoring Progress: Regular check-ins with Dr. Sony Markose, DDS, MSD, ensure the treatment progresses smoothly. Typically, you’ll visit every six to eight weeks to receive your next sets of aligners.

Why Choose Clear Aligners for Orthodontic Treatment?

Clear aligners offer several benefits, making them an excellent choice for patients seeking a comfortable, effective, and aesthetically pleasing orthodontic solution:

• Aesthetic Appeal: Transparent aligners are nearly invisible, allowing for a discreet treatment experience.
• Comfort: Without metal wires or brackets, there’s reduced risk of mouth irritation, offering a smooth and comfortable fit.
• Removability: Aligners can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing, facilitating easier oral hygiene.
• Flexibility: Clear aligners fit seamlessly into any lifestyle, whether you’re a busy professional or an active teen.
• Effectiveness: Capable of treating various orthodontic issues, from mild crowding to complex cases like overbites or crossbites.
• Fewer Emergencies: The absence of wires and brackets reduces the likelihood of orthodontic emergencies, such as broken brackets or poking wires.
