For patients who are seeking orthodontic treatment without the brackets and discomfort commonly associated with traditional metal braces, clear aligners could be the ideal treatment.
At Acre Wood Dental in Waco, TX, we offer top orthodontic treatment with clear aligners, a trusted, ultra-discreet way to align and transform the teeth. Clear aligners provide a modern, virtually invisible solution for correcting a wide range of orthodontic concerns, so you can achieve the beautiful smile you've always wanted without disrupting your lifestyle.
What Are Clear Orthodontic Aligners?
Orthodontic treatment with clear aligners involves a series of custom-made, clear, plastic teeth aligners designed to gradually shift the teeth into alignment. Unlike the wires and brackets that come with traditional braces, clear aligners are nearly invisible, making them an incredibly popular choice for adults and teenagers seeking a more subtle orthodontic treatment.
Clear aligners also offer the advantage of being removable – our patients can easily take the aligners out to eat, drink, brush, and floss. This makes it easier to maintain your oral hygiene routine throughout your treatment compared to traditional braces. You can enjoy all your favorite foods without restrictions, and brushing and flossing remain as effective as ever.
Are Clear Aligners Right for Me?
Clear orthodontic aligners are a versatile, effective solution for correcting a wide array of orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowded teeth
Crooked teeth - Gaps between teeth
- Overbites
- Crossbites
- Open bites
Your Clear Aligner Consultation
Creating your new smile with clear aligners at Acre Wood Dental in Waco begins with a comprehensive orthodontic consultation. Your dentist will thoroughly assess your oral health, examine your bite, and discuss your specific smile goals and concerns. This allows us to determine if clear aligners are the right treatment option for your smile. We'll also answer all your questions and ensure you feel confident in your treatment plan!
Precise Impressions and 3D Treatment Planning
If you decide to move forward with clear orthodontic aligners, we'll take precise digital impressions of your teeth. Instead of messy, uncomfortable molds, we utilize a comfortable, state-of-the-art digital scanner, which creates highly accurate 3D images of your teeth and bite. These digital scans are then used to create a sophisticated 3D treatment plan. This innovative technology allows us to map out the exact step-by-step movement of your teeth from their current position to your desired final alignment. You'll also get to see a virtual preview of your future smile before treatment even begins!
Based on your personalized 3D treatment plan, a series of custom-made clear aligners will be fabricated specifically for your teeth. Each set of orthodontic aligners is designed to apply just the right amount of force to shift your teeth into place as your treatment progresses.
Wearing Your Clear Aligners
During your orthodontic treatment, you'll wear each set of clear aligners for about two weeks at a time, before progressing to the next set in the series. It's crucial to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day to ensure optimal results. As you advance through each new set of aligners, you'll notice your teeth gradually and gently shifting into their new position.
How Long Does Clear Aligner Treatment Take?
The length of your clear aligner treatment will vary depending on the complexity of your specific case and how consistently you wear your aligners. Treatment can range from a few months for minor adjustments to approximately two years for more complex orthodontic issues. Throughout your treatment, you'll have periodic check-ups with our team at Acre Wood Dental in Waco, so our team can effectively monitor your progress, ensure your treatment is on track, and provide you with the next set of aligners in the series.
