Clear aligner therapy offers an innovative and aesthetically pleasing solution for individuals aiming to straighten their teeth without the drawbacks commonly associated with traditional metal braces. This orthodontic treatment is particularly appealing for both teenagers and adults, thanks to its nearly invisible appearance and the flexibility it provides.
At the heart of clear aligner therapy is the use of custom-made, transparent aligners crafted from smooth, durable plastic. Designed through precise computer-generated modeling to fit snugly over your teeth, these aligners offer a comfortable and discreet alternative to metal braces. The removability of clear aligners is one of their most celebrated features. Patients appreciate the convenience of being able to remove their aligners during meals, allowing them to enjoy their favorite foods without restrictions. Additionally, this removability facilitates easy brushing and flossing, promoting better oral hygiene throughout the treatment process.
Here at Okemos Smile Center, we offer clear aligners using the CandidPro system. CandidPro uses state-of-the-art technology and proven aligner methods in combination with at-home progress tracking to give you the most convenient and effective treatment experience possible. You will be able to scan your teeth at home before having a consultation with our dentist to develop your treatment plan and receive your aligners. Further scans at home allow you and our dentist to track your progress without the need for repeated visits to our practice, ensuring that your smile stays on-track. This personalized and convenient approach makes your treatment both comfortable and effective, and as you switch to new sets of aligners your teeth will gradually move into their desired positions, resulting in a straight, healthy and beautiful smile. This process is not only gentle but also highly effective, culminating in the achievement of the patient’s orthodontic goals without the discomfort and visual impact of metal braces.
We do recommend that you take care of your aligners, cleaning them regularly to prevent discoloration and the buildup of bacteria. You should also wear your aligners 20-22 hours each day as directed by our dentist, removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss. This will help ensure that your smile continues to progress as planned and that your aligners remain in good condition. If your aligner does sustain any damage, please contact our office as soon as possible so we can get you new aligners and help you continue progressing towards a more beautiful smile.
