How To Get Straighter Teeth Without Unsightly Braces!

How can you straighten teeth using no wires or brackets with nearly invisible braces?

We can straighten teeth using a series of custom-made trays or aligners to gently move your teeth into position. These aligners are made of smooth, comfortable, virtually invisible plastic that you wear over the top of your teeth. You’ll pop a set of aligners every two weeks until your treatment is complete. An advantage with aligners is that they don’t interfere with your daily routine: You clean your teeth the way you normally do!

You can eat the foods you want because your aligners won’t interfere. You can take them out for eating and cleaning your teeth. And the other advantage is you’ll be straightening your teeth without most people even knowing you’re doing it. This is a great alternative for adult patients because of the cosmetics. You don’t see the treatment being done!

They’re virtually invisible. With children, I would probably venture to guess that they’re better off with the brackets that are bonded in the mouth because there is a compliance issue with these aligners. They have to be worn for at least 20 hours a day, and it’s difficult to get a child to be that disciplined about that.

Most people can’t tell you’re wearing aligners at all. In fact, I have a staff member who models them for me at the office, and most patients will say, “I don’t see them,” and she’ll get them right up in their faces, “Here they are” and take them out! This really shows the patient how they are virtually invisible!
