What are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays that gradually move your teeth into their desired positions. They are made from smooth, transparent plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn.

Benefits of Clear Aligners

• Discreet Treatment: Clear aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention.
• Comfortable: The smooth plastic aligners are comfortable to wear and do not irritate your cheeks and gums like traditional braces.
• Removable: You can remove aligners to eat, brush, and floss, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment.
• Effective: Clear aligners effectively treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowding, spacing, and bite alignment.

The Clear Aligner Treatment Process

Achieving a straighter smile with clear aligners typically involves the following steps at Cornerstone Dental:

• Consultation: We evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and determine if clear aligners are the right treatment option for you.
• Treatment Plan: Using advanced digital technology, we create a customized treatment plan that maps out the movement of your teeth.
• Aligner Fabrication: Your aligners are custom-made based on the treatment plan, ensuring a precise fit and effective tooth movement.
• Wearing Aligners: You wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks, as prescribed, gradually moving your teeth closer to their final positions.
• Progress Checks: We monitor your progress with periodic check-ups to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.
• Retention: After completing treatment, we may recommend retainers to maintain your newly aligned smile.

Caring for Your Clear Aligners

To ensure the best results from your clear aligner treatment, follow these care tips:

• Clean Aligners: Brush your aligners daily with a soft toothbrush and rinse them with lukewarm water.
• Remove Before Eating: Take out aligners before eating or drinking anything except water to prevent staining and damage.
• Regular Dental Visits: Attend regular check-ups at Cornerstone Dental to monitor your progress and ensure your treatment is on track.
