Are you considering orthodontic treatment to straighten your smile? If so, clear aligners may be the perfect solution. Let’s walk through the process and how it can help realign your teeth for a stunning smile.
The Initial Consultation
The first step is a complimentary consultation, where we sit down and discuss how you envision your ideal smile. Whether it’s minor adjustments or more significant changes, we’ll review all available treatment options based on the complexity of your case. We’ll also go over the financial details so you can feel confident moving forward, knowing exactly what to expect.
Customised Clear Aligners Just for You
Once you’re ready to proceed, we’ll take detailed scans of your mouth and photographs of your face and teeth. These are sent to a specialised lab to create your custom clear aligner trays. Each tray is designed to gently shift your teeth into place, and they’re created specifically for your unique smile.
Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll receive a series of clear aligners to wear throughout your treatment. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are removable, which makes meal times and oral hygiene a breeze. No more worrying about food getting stuck in brackets or wires! We’ll check in regularly to ensure your teeth are moving as planned, offering adjustments or new trays when necessary.
How Long Does Treatment Take?
The length of treatment depends on the complexity of your case. Most patients wear their clear aligners for six to 18 months, though it can take up to two years for more extensive adjustments. Throughout this time, you’ll start noticing improvements in your smile—subtle at first, but before you know it, you’ll have a straighter smile that reflects your goals.
Maintenance for Long-Term Results
Once your teeth are perfectly aligned, we’ll move into the maintenance phase. To keep your teeth from shifting, we’ll place fixed wires behind your teeth and provide you with retainers to wear at night. This ensures your smile stays straight and beautiful for the long term. We’ll also keep an eye on your oral hygiene to make sure everything remains in great condition.
Why Choose Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners offer a comfortable, flexible solution to straighten your teeth without the discomfort of traditional braces. They’re practically invisible, easy to remove, and make maintaining your daily routines easier. Plus, with fewer trips to the dentist for adjustments, they’re incredibly convenient.
