Get Straighter Teeth with Clear Liners such as Invisalign
Clear Liners are an alternative to traditional braces that use plastic aligners to correct your bite and straighten your teeth. Young people and adults alike experience naturally occurring misalignment of the teeth. Fortunately, there are orthodontic treatments that can be used to correct even the most severe overbites, crooked teeth, and other tooth placement issues. Each treatment plan is specially designed to meet the needs of the patient, helping to ensure a perfect, healthy smile. Premier Dental Associates offers Clear Liners as one potential treatment option.
What are Clear Liners?
There are several forms of orthodontics a qualified dental professional can employ to correct existing dental issues. Conventional metal bracket and wire braces are still the most commonly used method for moving teeth to their proper placement. However, Clear Liners are a great option for some cases because it is a discreet treatment and allows easier access to the teeth during treatment for better dental hygiene. This type of orthodontics is custom made for each patient.
Clear Liners uses a series of plastic aligners placed over the teeth to help you have straighter teeth and a proper bite. The aligners are made of a smooth, transparent plastic that is virtually invisible. Like traditional braces, the Clear Liners system slowly shifts your teeth to a proper position. Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks before being replaced with a new, slightly adjusted aligner. This continues for several months until your ideal smile goal has been accomplished. The aligners are removable, allowing you to brush and floss your teeth more easily than with traditional braces.
Will Clear Liners Fit My Lifestyle?
The most likely answer is "yes."
- Time for a snack? No problem. Take out your aligners to eat or drink whenever you want.
- Remove your Clear Liners to brush and floss regularly and keep your teeth and gums healthy.
- Continue your normal day-to-day activities while still straightening your teeth.
- Be yourself with Clear Liners. They are clear, so you don't have to hide your smile while going through treatment.
- Easy appointments fit your schedule. Most visits are brief, with a quick progress check roughly every six weeks.
Ideal Clear Liners Candidate
Clear Liners are an effective treatment in cases that would normally benefit from traditional braces, including mild to more difficult orthodontic needs. Clear Liners work for crooked teeth, protruding teeth, overbites, and underbites. We may recommend Clear Liners if your mouth is too sensitive for the brackets and wires of traditional braces or if you simply prefer to wear transparent, removable aligners instead of permanent braces.
Clear Liners can have an edge over other orthodontic methods for several reasons:
- Their treatment planning software is the most advanced in the industry.
- Their patented ‘smart track’ material is more comfortable in the mouth and tracks better through treatment.
- Clear Liners has been proven effective in clinical research and dental and orthodontic practices nationwide.
- More than 6,000,000 patients worldwide have been treated with Clear Liners.
