The first step towards getting clear aligners is a consultation with Dr. Choi. He will evaluate your teeth and determine if clear aligners are the proper treatment.
Instead of taking traditional impressions, our team will use a digital scanner to create a 3D image of your teeth. This ensures a more accurate fit and eliminates the need for uncomfortable putty molds.
Using the 3D images, your provider will create a customized treatment plan that includes your teeth's movement and the estimated length of treatment.
Once the treatment plan is approved, your aligners will be custom-made using advanced computer software and 3D printing technology to fit your teeth.
When you receive your aligners, Dr. Choi will ensure they fit correctly and provide instructions on how to wear and care for them.
Throughout treatment, you will have regular check-ups with your provider to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Once you have worn the aligner trays, you may need a final retainer to maintain your teeth's new position.
It is important to note that the success of clear aligners depends on the patient's commitment. Wearing the aligners as instructed and attending all follow-up appointments is essential to ensure optimal results.
Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are virtually invisible when worn, making them an ideal option for those who want to straighten their teeth discreetly.
The smooth plastic material used in clear aligners is much more comfortable than the metal wires and brackets associated with traditional braces.
Clear aligners can be removed while eating and brushing your teeth, allowing you to maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.
Since the aligners are removable, there are no restrictions on what you can eat. This means you can still enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about damaging your braces.
Clear aligners can usually straighten teeth in a shorter amount of time than traditional braces.
Clear aligners may vary depending on the individual case. However, they tend to be more affordable than other orthodontic treatments due to their shorter treatment time and fewer required appointments.
Clear aligners are suitable for adults and teenagers with mild to moderate teeth misalignment issues. They may not be suitable for more complex cases, such as severe crowding or bite problems, and our team will determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment option.
Clear aligners offer a modern, comfortable, and discreet solution for straightening teeth. With a simple process and many advantages over traditional braces, it is no surprise that they are becoming increasingly popular among individuals of all ages.
