What are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners, also called invisible aligners, are orthodontic treatments that correct misaligned or crooked teeth. Clear correct aligners are a virtually invisible and removable alternative to braces designed around convenience and flexibility.

Aligner trays are custom-made for every patient, depending on the severity of teeth misalignment (malocclusion).

In-office clear aligners, such as Six Month Smiles, can treat a variety of different cases, including:

  • Crowded teeth — when the teeth overlap
  • Overbites — when the upper front teeth overlap with the lower front teeth
  • Under bites — when the lower front teeth overlap with the upper front teeth
  • Diastema teeth — when there are small or large gaps between the teeth
  • Open bites — when the front upper and lower teeth slant outward and do not touch when the mouth is shut. This is a scarce type of malocclusion.
  • Misaligned primary (baby) teeth — clear aligners can be used during phase I orthodontic treatment to make room for existing baby teeth and developing permanent teeth. Children between 6 and 10 years of age are candidates for this treatment.

The clear teeth aligners’ treatment process involves the following steps:

  • A Custom Treatment Plan

First, you’ll visit our office for a consultation. During the consultation, a dentist will examine your teeth and take a precise digital scan of your mouth. Then a custom treatment plan is made.

  • Aligner Preparation

After the teeth impressions are made, your custom treatment plan will be created using 3D technology. Once approved, the digital models are transferred to a production facility, making the aligners.

From here, you’ll accept treatment and begin the process.

  • Aligners Daily Upkeep

You’ll change out the aligner trays every 1 to 3 weeks. For effective teeth straightening, you must wear them for about 20 to 22 hours a day.

Multiple aligners are used because a single aligner can only move teeth slightly (1 mm or less).

  • After treatment

After treatment is complete, a custom clear retainer is made from a mold of your newly straightened teeth.

Retainers should be worn every night while sleeping to ensure malocclusion does not recur over time.
