What You Should Know About Clear Aligners
Clear Aligners
Smile With Confidence, Even During Treatment
What are clear aligners? The clear aligner system is personalized just for you. You’ll use a series of removable plastic trays designed to gradually shift your teeth into the ideal position. Clear aligners offer a nearly invisible treatment experience that is also comfortable, convenient, and effective! At Hentscher-Johnson Orthodontics, we offer a variety of clear aligner therapies, such as Invisalign, Angel Aligners, and 3M Clarity Aligners.
How Do Clear Aligners Work?
Before you start clear aligner treatment, you’ll get a digital custom treatment plan. This will show you exactly what you can expect during the course of your treatment — how your teeth will move and how long it will take, from start to finish. Depending on your unique case, you will get a new set of clear aligners every 1-2 weeks. To get the best results, you’ll need to wear your aligners 22 hours a day. This gives you the flexibility you need to reshape your smile while still enjoying all your favorite foods and activities!
Why Choose Clear Aligners?
Advantages Of Orthodontic Treatment With Clear Aligners
Clear aligners have a less noticeable profile than clear braces while delivering the same level of treatment and a secure fit. Unlike traditional braces, you can remove clear aligners to eat, drink, and brush your teeth! This allows for better hygiene and more freedom to live your life.
Take Them Out Anytime
You can take your clear aligners out when you want to eat, drink, brush, or floss your teeth — just be sure to wear them for the recommended 22 hours per day!
Keep Up the Good Hygiene
Because you can completely remove your clear aligners, it’s easier than ever to brush your teeth and clean your appliances.
Enjoy Increased Comfort
Clear aligners move your teeth gently and gradually. Coupled with state-of-the-art materials, your treatment will be more comfortable than you might expect!
