Clear Aligners
Is a mouthful of metal preferable to having uneven, misaligned teeth? If you could avoid both, would you? With today’s orthodontic advancements, you can! At Dyer Family Dental, we offer clear aligners in Horizon City, Texas. If you want a beautiful smile without the hassle of braces, clear aligners might be an excellent option for you.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are an effective and cosmetically-pleasing option for straightening teeth. Clear aligners are a popular orthodontic treatment that can straighten teeth without using metal braces. Instead, clear aligners are made of clear, customized plastic that is barely visible when worn. Clear aligners gradually move teeth into the desired position over several months. Each new set of clear aligners will be slightly different from the last, ensuring that teeth slowly move into the desired position. To achieve this, you must wear the clear aligners for at least 20 hours per day and replace them every two weeks or so.
Why Straighten Your Teeth?
It’s not just a cosmetic dental issue when teeth are crooked! Many people neglect the problem because they are unaware of the oral health issues that crooked teeth might bring about. Teeth that are straight and properly aligned are essential for a gorgeous, healthy smile. Damaged teeth, periodontal (gum) disorders, and TMJ issues can all result from improper alignment. Dr. Dyer’s transparent aligner system is available for patients with minor to moderate orthodontic problems.
What Are the Benefits of Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners have many benefits, which is why they have become such a popular choice for those looking to straighten their teeth. The benefits of clear aligners include the following:
They Are Virtually Invisible: Clear aligners are made from clear plastic, which makes them virtually invisible when worn. The invisibility means you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing you are doing so.
They Are Comfortable: Clear aligners are much more comfortable than traditional metal braces. There are no wires or brackets to rub against your gums and cheeks, and you can remove them for eating and cleaning your teeth.
They Are Convenient: Unlike traditional braces, you can remove clear aligners for eating and drinking, so you don’t have to worry about food getting stuck in your braces. You can also remove them for brushing and flossing, which helps to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
They Straighten Teeth Quickly: Clear aligners can straighten teeth in as little as six months, which is much faster than traditional braces.
They Are Affordable: Clear aligners are typically more affordable than traditional braces, making them an excellent option for those on a budget.
What is the Process of Getting Clear Aligners?
Dr. Dyer will begin the clear aligner consultation by assessing your needs and goals. He will then take impressions of your teeth and use these to create a 3D model. This model will be used to develop your clear aligner treatment plan. The next step is to fabricate your clear aligners. Once they are ready, you will come back in for a fitting. Dr. Dyer will ensure the aligners fit well and answer any questions you may have.
We will then give you instructions on how to care for and wear your clear aligners. If you follow the instructions and wear the aligners as directed, you should see great results! You should only remove them for eating and brushing. Every two weeks, you will switch to a new set. You will also come in every six weeks so we can track your progress.
