Clear Aligners in Frisco, TX

What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of removable and clear plastic trays that are designed to straighten your teeth. The trays are made to fit your mouth perfectly and are worn for about two weeks at a time before being switched out for the next set in the series. Each set of trays is designed to make small changes to the alignment of your teeth. Over time, this will gradually move your teeth into the desired position.

Clear aligners are an alternative to braces for adults and older teens who want straighter teeth but do not want to wear metal braces. While clear aligners can be effective at treating many orthodontic issues, they may not be suitable for more complex cases. Dr. Patel can determine if clear aligners are the best option for you.

Clear aligners must be worn at least 22 hours a day to be effective. They can be removed when eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. However, they should be worn at all other times during the day.

Clear aligners are custom-made for each patient using impressions of their teeth so the trays fit snugly and move the teeth gently into alignment. Unlike traditional braces, these trays are not permanently attached to the teeth and can be easily removed before eating or brushing. This makes them a popular choice with adult patients who want to improve their smiles without the appearance of wearing braces.

Clear aligners are also more comfortable than metal braces because they do not cause irritation to the soft tissues of the mouth. In addition, they are easier to keep clean since they can be brushed and flossed like regular teeth.

What are clear aligners made of?

The aligner trays are made of a clear plastic material that is virtually invisible when worn. This makes them ideal for adults who are self-conscious about wearing braces but want straight teeth. They are also removable, so you can take them out to eat or brush your teeth.

Clear aligners are also more comfortable than traditional metal braces because they do not have brackets and wires that can irritate your mouth.

Each set of trays is custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth and move them into the desired position over time. You will need to wear each set for about two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series. The number of sets that you will need will depend on the extent of your misalignment. Your dentist will give you an estimate of how long you will need to wear them.

Clear aligners are a safe and effective way to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing that you are undergoing orthodontic treatment. They are an excellent option for busy adults who want to improve their smile without the hassle of wearing traditional braces.
