Dr. Rasmussen uses SureSmile aligners to straighten your teeth. This system gently repositions your teeth to the correct alignment using thin plastic aligners. If you aren’t sure whether it’s right for you, he can show you what’s possible with an outcome simulator. You’ll feel confident about the results before you start treatment! When you are ready to start, we’ll capture digital impressions of your teeth. They are sent to a lab where your aligners are created. Then, you’ll return to our office to pick up your aligners and review your treatment plan.
You can expect many benefits from this discreet orthodontic solution:
- Easily Removable – You’ll need to wear your customized trays for 22 hours a day. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t remove them at all. You can take them off to enjoy a meal or practice your oral hygiene routine.
- Comfortable – Clear aligners are made of a smooth plastic that won’t irritate the inside of your mouth. Plus, you won’t have to sit through uncomfortable wire adjustments like you would with braces. You’ll just come in every six weeks or so for a simple progress checkup.
- Quicker Results – You can expect results in about 12 to 18 months. Some patients complete treatment in less time. Your dentist will discuss your unique timing. Either way, you’ll finish treatment far quicker than traditional orthodontics.
- Barely Visible – Because the teeth aligners are practically invisible, no one will notice you are wearing them. Only you and your dentist have to know you are pursuing orthodontic treatment.
Common Questions About Clear Aligners
Unlike traditional braces that use metal brackets, bands, and wires, clear aligners are made of almost invisible plastic that straightens your teeth. You simply slide the aligners over your teeth and wear them for at least 20-22 hours a day. You can freely remove your aligners for eating, brushing, or a special occasion, so long as you put them back in when you’re done.
On average, clear aligners treatment takes 12 to 18 months. Your exact length of treatment will depend on your unique situation. Once we’ve had a chance to examine your teeth and work up a treatment plan, we can give you a better idea of how long your treatment will take. We’ll make sure you know what to expect before your orthodontic care begins.
Clear aligners treatment is probably best known for its ability to correct crooked and uneven teeth. However, it can also correct several types of bite issues, including crossbites, overbites, and underbites. At your initial examination, your dentist will determine if clear aligners are the right treatment for your particular case.
Your clear aligners will be comfortable because they don’t contain any metal or pointed edges that can irritate sensitive areas in your mouth. Most of our patients report little or no trouble getting used to the aligners. They will fit snugly over your teeth and gently shift them into their ideal positions.
