Clear Teeth Aligners Mississauga

Think about someone you know who has a beautiful smile. Chances are, one of the things that make their smile great is that their teeth are straight and healthy! Straight teeth are aesthetically appealing and contribute to a healthy smile because they are easier to clean and less prone to decay and gum disease. Clear aligner therapy offers a discreet and effective way to straighten teeth without traditional braces.

How clear aligners work

Clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays designed to gradually shift your teeth into their optimal positions. Treatment with clear aligners is:

• Nearly invisible to others, so your orthodontic treatment is discreet
• Comfortable, with no metal brackets or wires to irritate your mouth
• Convenient, often requiring fewer checkups than traditional braces
• Effective at treating a variety of alignment issues, including gaps, crowding, crooked teeth, overbite, underbite, and crossbite

After taking precise digital images of your teeth and bite, a customized series of aligners is created. Each set of aligners is worn for one to two weeks for at least 22 hours a day and gradually moves the teeth. The aligners are completely removable, allowing you to eat freely and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine without working around brackets or wires.

Am I a good candidate for clear aligner therapy?

Clear aligners can be a suitable option for most patients who want to straighten their teeth or correct jaw alignment issues. Severe cases of misalignment may require traditional orthodontic treatments such as braces or other oral appliance therapy. A consultation with a dental professional can help determine if clear aligner therapy is the right choice for your needs and goals.
