MEET WITH OUR PEACHTREE CORNERS CLEAR ALIGNERS (Invisalign) DENTIST

Clear aligners - Invisalign and OrthoFX are discreet, comfortable, and effective. They are virtually invisible when worn and can barely be detected. You can talk to anyone and continue with your day-to-day life without anyone knowing that you’re correcting your smile!

Clear aligners are removable. Patients can eat their favorite foods while wearing their aligners. They can play sports without fear of damaging the appliances. Most importantly, patients can remove them while brushing, flossing, and for important social occasions such as weddings, graduations, and business meetings. This allows patients to enjoy all of the benefits that come with having straight teeth without having to sacrifice their appearance in the process.

One of the most significant downsides of traditional braces is that they use brackets and wires that can break or become loose with regular use. This can be uncomfortable, painful, and embarrassing since it can make it difficult to speak normally. These awkward moments can be avoided with clear aligners since no wiring is involved in the treatment process. Instead, clear aligners are custom-made trays that fit directly over your teeth and gradually move them into the correct position over time.

Total treatment time varies, but you’ll start seeing results within two to four weeks! All you have to do is wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, and you’re on your way to a straight smile!

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable plastic trays that snap onto your teeth. Each tray is worn for about two weeks and then replaced with the next set of trays in your series.

These aligners can correct a variety of orthodontic issues, including:

• Overcrowded teeth 
• Widely spaced teeth 
• Crossbite 
• Underbite 
• Open bite 
• Crowded and misaligned teeth 
• Misaligned jaw 

Clear aligner therapy is an orthodontic treatment that uses removable plastic dental trays known as clear aligners to gradually move teeth into their proper position without brackets or wires. Clear aligners can correct many orthodontic issues just like braces, such as crowding, spacing, and misalignments, including underbites, overbites, and crossbites. They are also effective for treating certain types of malocclusions. The time it takes for your teeth to move into their correct positions will depend on your specific needs and the severity of your case.

Overall, the biggest differences between clear aligners and braces are how comfortable the treatment is and the treatment time. Braces are worn all day, every day, for an average of two years. On the other hand, clear braces are removable, and the treatment takes about one year for most adults and teens. However, the length of your treatment depends largely on your compliance with instructions as well as the complexity of your case.

We can use this modern teeth straightening treatment to correct issues like:

• Spacing
• Crowding
• Overbite
• Underbite
• Misaligned teeth

Misaligned teeth aren’t just a cosmetic concern. By straightening your teeth, you also:

• Lower your risk of tooth decay and gum disease
• Make it easier to brush and floss
• Reduce possible TMJ pain and migraine headaches
• Protect your teeth so they will last longer

Most teens and adults can benefit from this treatment and can get excellent results. Some teens have a harder time wearing their aligners for the recommended 22 hours a day. If that’s the case, traditional braces may be the better choice.

Cleaning your clear aligners is simple. We’ll show you how to do this during your visit. Your aligners should be rinsed in warm (not hot) water and brushed gently with your toothbrush.
