For many years, there were very few options for straightening your teeth. If you wanted an aligned smile, your main option was metal braces and all of the inconveniences that come with them. However, clear dental aligners are gaining popularity and becoming a go-to method for straightening teeth, and it's no wonder! They come with a host of benefits and are extremely effective at delivering great results. At Complete Dental Care, we are happy to provide patients with clear aligner treatment that results in the winning smile you've been dreaming of.

What Are Clear Dental Aligners?

Clear dental aligners are a type of orthodontic treatment that uses clear, customized tray-like devices to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. They are virtually invisible when worn, so many people don't even realize you're wearing them! Because they are removable, they offer much more flexibility and comfort than traditional braces. And unlike braces, which can be quite painful, clear aligners are usually very comfortable to wear.

The Process of Getting Clear Aligner Treatment

Getting clear aligner treatment is a simple process. First, you'll need to schedule a consultation to see if you're a good candidate for treatment. If so, we will take impressions of your teeth and send them off to the lab where your custom clear aligners will be made. Once they are ready, you'll come in for a fitting and will be given your aligners. You'll need to wear them for 20-22 hours per day and will need to switch to a new set of aligners every 2 weeks. Every 6-8 weeks, you'll need to come in for a checkup appointment. The entire process usually takes about 9-18 months.

Caring For Your Mouth After Clear Aligner Treatment

Once your clear aligners are removed, you'll need to take care of your mouth to ensure that your teeth stay healthy. Here are some tips for caring for your mouth after clear aligner treatment:
