CLEAR ALIGNERS FOR ADULTS

The clear alternative to traditional braces.

Clear aligners are the clear alternative to traditional braces that will give you the beautiful smile and boost of confidence you’ve always wanted. With the modern advances in technology, clear aligner systems are able to create a series of custom-designed aligners to address your specific orthodontic needs. Just as no two people have the same exact teeth and orthodontic needs, no two aligners are alike.

Dr. Proano Wise will instruct you on how often you will need to wear each aligner per day (usually at least 22 hours) and how often you will need to change to a new aligner. As time goes on and you move through several aligners, you will see your teeth transforming and becoming straighter. The process of tooth movement is slow and continuous, so you should not expect to see drastic changes in your teeth as you advance from one aligner to the next. However, over time you will definitely notice the difference and before you know it, your teeth will be straight. Clear Aligners for Adults in Kendall.

What are some of the advantages of clear aligners?

With clear aligners, there are virtually no restrictions as to what you can eat or drink. But remember, it is very important that you remove your aligners every time you eat or drink something (except for water. It’s okay to drink water with your aligners in your mouth).

Keeping up with excellent oral hygiene is easy with clear aligners because you are free to brush and floss normally without having to worry about cleaning around traditional braces and flossing under wires.

For those of you who absolutely oppose the thought of having the appearance of traditional braces in your mouth, clear aligners will make you feel more confident during your orthodontic treatment.

Clear aligners are just as effective as traditional braces in most cases.

Comfortable clear aligners are exchanged regularly. You may not even remember you’re improving your smile and will not spend as much time in the orthodontist’s office having appointments.

Clear aligners can be used by teens and adults.

What problems can clear aligners correct?

Clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces in many cases. Clear aligners may help both mature teenagers and adults and can treat a variety of cases, including:
  • Crowding
  • Crooked teeth
  • Spaces or gaps between teeth
  • Protruded or flared teeth
  • Deep bites
  • Open bites
  • Bad bites

Clear aligners are often used for people whose teeth have shifted because they stopped wearing their retainers. This is called relapse, and this is why retainer wear is so important after orthodontic treatment is completed. Retainers should be worn for a lifetime in order to prevent relapse.

Clear aligners are often used for adults who will eventually be replacing missing teeth with dental implants or getting cosmetic dental restorations such as veneers, crowns, or bridges. Your general dentist may recommend that you seek orthodontic treatment in order to prepare your mouth for placement of cosmetic dental restorations.

Can EVERY case be treated with clear aligners?

No, there are situations in which traditional braces are a better option than clear aligners. Dr. Proano Wise will discuss your individual orthodontic problems with you at your FREE consultation and let you know if clear aligners are a good treatment option for you.

By no means have clear aligners replaced traditional braces, however they have allowed more people to achieve their best possible smile and feel better about their appearance.

Do I need to have a goopy impression taken to get clear aligners?

No!!! No Goop. No Gag. No Worries!

Dr. Proano Wise uses the most up-to-date technology for your clear aligner needs. No goopy, messy, unpleasant impressions are needed.

In addition to your x-rays and photographs, Dr. Proano Wise will take a digital scan (digital impression) of your teeth and bite using the iTero Element Scanner.

Not only is a digital impression more COMFORTABLE, it’s also much more ACCURATE than a traditional goopy impression.

The scanner takes an incredibly detailed impression of your teeth, gums, and bite. Once the scan is complete, Dr. Proano Wise will then have a 3D model of your mouth that she will electronically send to the laboratory to have the fabrication of your clear aligners started within minutes of your scan.

You will be able to get an idea of what your new smile will look like just seconds after your scan using the outcome simulator.

Be sure to consult with an ORTHODONTIST for your orthodontic needs!

Would you want your primary care doctor performing open-heart surgery on you or a loved one? Probably not. You would most likely prefer for a cardiologist to perform heart surgery. Although they are both doctors, your cardiologist has gone through extra years of specialized training beyond medical school—just like an orthodontist goes through extra years of specialized training after completion of dental school.

Many general dentists treat with clear aligners, however an ORTHODONTIST has had specialized training for a minimum of two years beyond their graduation from dental school focusing ONLY on orthodontics.

Most general dentists have very limited orthodontic training and can only offer clear aligners as an orthodontic solution. An orthodontist is able to evaluate both the clear aligner option as well as the traditional braces option and can develop an individualized treatment plan targeting your specific orthodontic needs.
