Your Alternative To Metal Braces
Having a straight, beautiful smile is something many people desire, not only for the aesthetic benefits but for the health improvements and confidence boost it brings as well. However, many patients do not find traditional orthodontics to be the ideal solution to straighten teeth due to the lengthy treatment times and prominent appearance of metal brackets and wires within the mouth. To make orthodontics and healthy, straight teeth easier for patients, we offer modern clear aligners in Batesburg-Leesville, SC.
Clear Aligners can effectively straighten teeth using removable plastic clear aligners. While worn, Invisalign-like aligners are virtually invisible and often much more comfortable. The clear aligners guide your teeth into the proper position while still allowing you to remove them to eat or brush your teeth.
For many patients, clear aligner treatment will give them the smile of their dreams while putting less stress on the tooth root surface. This often leads to a gentler treatment with less soreness during alignment.
How Invisalign Achieves Your Dream Smile
To create less of an impact on your lifestyle, we use sets of plastic clear aligners that are custom-fitted to your bite. We create these aligners based on digital images we take of your teeth using our state-of-the-art iTero® intraoral scanner. This not only eliminates the need for messy impressions but ensures your orthodontic treatment is as customized as possible. Your clear aligners are worn for one to two weeks at a time to shift your teeth into proper alignment. You will then switch your current set of aligners out for a new one, which is designed to adjust your teeth a little bit more. The clear aligners will need to be worn for 20-22 hours a day and can be removed for proper brushing and flossing as well as to eat. By the end of your treatment, you will have beautiful, straight teeth, often in less time than with traditional braces.
