Say goodbye to metal braces. Read on to learn more about clear aligners from A2Z Dental Group.
All About Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a little like the mouth guards and retainers you are given after traditional orthodontic treatments with metal braces. However, these clear aligners do all the work of metal braces and more.
Unlike metal braces, which use painful and unsightly wires and brackets, clear aligners are practically invisible and custom-made to fit the unique shape of your mouth. They fit snugly over your teeth and offer a more precise and comfortable fit while gradually straightening your smile.
Additionally, you can remove clear aligners for eating, cleaning your teeth, and during special moments when you prefer not to wear them.
Clear Braces vs. Traditional Braces
Let’s look at why many people prefer clear aligners over traditional metal braces:
Invisible
Clear aligners are nearly invisible to the naked eye. Most people will not notice that you are wearing them. This is perfect for patients who want a discreet orthodontic solution.
Comfortable
The smooth plastic of clear aligners is much less likely to cause irritation to the gums and cheeks, which is common with metal braces.
Convenient
Clear aligners are removable and, therefore, easier to eat, drink, and maintain oral hygiene than fixed braces.
Flexible
Clear aligners are suitable for treating mild to moderate orthodontic issues without the complex adjustments often required by metal braces.
How Do Clear Aligners Work?
Depending on your specific orthodontic needs and the recommendations of our expert A2Z dental team, you may be given a few different options for the types of clear aligners you wear during your treatment.
During your treatment, you will receive a series of custom clear aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks before you move on to the next stage. This progressive approach ensures that your teeth are gently and steadily moved into their desired positions.
Some patients may require temporary engagers attached to their teeth. These are small, tooth-colored attachments that allow enough pressure to be placed upon the right areas of teeth to guarantee progression and alignment.
Clear Aligners at A2Z Woodland Hills
At A2Z Dental Group in Woodland Hills, we carry out our clear aligners treatments in the following way:
Consultation: You will attend a comprehensive consultation with one of our expert A2Z dentists, who will assess your oral health and take digital scans and impressions of your teeth.
Treatment Plan: Using these impressions and scans, a detailed plan will be created that will outline the expected duration of the treatment and when your follow-up appointments will be.
Aligner Creation: Using the plan, scans, and impressions, we create your clear aligners and send the first set out for you to wear for the next few weeks.
Wearing Your Aligners: You should wear your aligners for 20-22 hours daily, removing them only to eat or when brushing your teeth. You will wear each set of aligners for approximately 2 weeks before moving on to the next set.
Gradual Results: Every time you move onto a new set of aligners, know that your teeth are one step closer to the alignment of your dreams.
