If your smile is crooked or misaligned, you may feel embarrassed showing it off in public. You’ve got a lot of options to choose from when deciding to straighten your smile. Clear aligners are a great option to quickly and discreetly get the straight smile that you’ve always wanted. Dental Associates of Lake Mills is here to help educate you about clear aligners and how it can help your smile.
What are clear aligners?
Clear aligners are a set of dental retainers that can help push your teeth into the correct position to get the straight smile you deserve. With clear aligners, your dentist will first scan your teeth to create custom aligners made for you and your smile. You will switch to a new pair of aligners every few weeks to slowly move your teeth into your perfect smile.
You’ll wear your aligners for at least 22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, drink, brush, and floss. You will also see your dentist a few times throughout the process to ensure that you are progressing the way they intended. Treatment can take anywhere from 6-24 months, depending on the severity of your issues. Clear aligners are also practically invisible, meaning that no one will be able to tell that you’re wearing them in the first place. Since you will be taking your aligners off to eat, there are also no restrictions on what you can enjoy with Invisalign.
