952-926-3392 Clear aligners are a modern and discreet orthodontic treatment designed to straighten teeth and correct bite issues without the need for traditional metal braces. Made from transparent, medical-grade plastic, clear aligners offer a comfortable and nearly invisible solution for improving your smile. At Jain Dental, our dentists and team provide expert clear aligner treatments tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
- Invisibility: Clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who prefer a discreet orthodontic option.
- Comfort: Made from smooth plastic, clear aligners are comfortable to wear and do not cause the irritation associated with metal brackets and wires.
- Removability: Clear aligners can be removed for eating, brushing and flossing, allowing for better oral hygiene and fewer dietary restrictions.
- Convenience: With clear aligners, there are fewer office visits required compared to traditional braces, as adjustments are minimal.
How It Works
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, Dr. Nick Bussa or Dr. Keith Schulhof will evaluate your orthodontic needs and determine if clear aligners are the right treatment for you.
- Custom Treatment Plan: Digital impressions of your teeth are taken to create a series of custom aligners designed to gradually move your teeth into the desired position.
- Wearing Aligners: Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next set in the series, gently shifting your teeth over time.
- Regular Checkups: Periodic checkups with your dentist ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned and make any necessary adjustments.
