Treatment With Clear Aligners for Discreet, Hassle-Free Teeth Straightening

If you have crooked teeth, it’s easy to feel insecure about your smile. The good news is that most alignment issues are fairly easy to fix. And we aren’t talking about years of treatment with conventional braces. Southern Pine Dental in Dothan, Alabama, aligns smiles using clear aligners. These are “invisible” braces crafted from strong plastic molds.

Clear Aligner Treatment: What to Expect

One of the reasons clear aligners are so popular is that they are designed to meet varying smile needs. So, clear aligners can discreetly align your teeth into a straighter position, whether you have an overbite, underbite, gapped, or crooked teeth.

Transforming your smile with clear aligners starts with a consultation with Dr. Durwood Nowell and the team. The objective of this appointment is to evaluate your smile for cavities and gum disease. Should we find oral issues, these must be resolved before undergoing clear aligner treatment.

Next, we use an intraoral camera to scan your teeth. Using your digital images, we create a 3D rendering of your mouth to simulate your treatment plan. This way, we can establish how your smile will look after treatment and how long your treatment will take. The final step is ordering your set of aligners from a remote lab.

When your aligners arrive after about two weeks, you must wear them daily for at least 20-22 hours. Treatment involves changing your aligners every 14 days and moving your teeth step by step until you achieve your desired smile.

Benefits of Clear Aligner Treatment

Here are the advantages of perfecting your smile with clear aligners:

Invisibility — Clear aligners are less conspicuous when aligning your smile. People won’t notice you’re undergoing orthodontic care unless you say something.

Less pain, more gain — Our clear aligners are smooth and gentle on your gums, unlike metal braces that have sharp edges that irritate your gums.

Remove them when you want — Clear braces are detachable, allowing you to remove them when eating or cleaning your teeth. Conventional braces users don’t enjoy this convenience.

Faster treatment — Wear your invisible aligners per your dentist’s instructions, and you’ll see results after a few months of use.

When you choose clear aligners for teeth straightening, achieving your straight, beautiful smile is never too late.
