What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, transparent trays that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Unlike metal braces, these aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic and are virtually invisible when worn. Using advanced technology, each set of aligners is precisely tailored to your unique dental needs, ensuring optimal results and comfort.

Clear aligners work through gentle, consistent pressure that moves your teeth incrementally. Every 1-2 weeks, you’ll transition to a new set of aligners, each one designed to advance your treatment. The process is simple, effective, and minimally invasive, making it a top choice for busy lifestyles.

Signs You Might Need Clear Aligners

Clear aligners can correct a variety of orthodontic issues. You might benefit from this treatment if you experience:

  • Overcrowding: Teeth that are too close together can be hard to clean and may lead to dental decay or gum disease.
  • Spacing Issues: Gaps between teeth can affect the aesthetics and functionality of your smile.
  • Overbite: Upper teeth that excessively overlap lower teeth can cause jaw discomfort and uneven wear.
  • Underbite: A condition where lower teeth extend past upper teeth, potentially causing speech or chewing difficulties.
  • Crossbite: Misalignment of the dental arches that can result in chipping or excessive wear on teeth.
  • Open Bite: A gap between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed, often leading to biting challenges.

If you identify with any of these issues, clear aligners may be the perfect solution to improve your oral health and appearance. Schedule a consultation with our Encino dental team to learn more.

The Clear Aligner Procedure

Your clear aligner journey at Clove Dental begins with a comprehensive consultation and continues through a series of easy-to-follow steps:

  1. Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we’ll assess your dental alignment and discuss your goals. Using cutting-edge imaging, we’ll determine if clear aligners are the best option for you.
  2. Digital Scanning and Planning: Advanced 3D imaging technology allows us to create a detailed map of your teeth and design a personalized treatment plan. This ensures precise adjustments at each stage.
  3. Fabrication of Aligners: Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom aligners will be created. Each aligner is designed to move your teeth progressively closer to their desired position.
  4. Wearing Your Aligners: You’ll wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene. Switching to a new set every 1-2 weeks ensures continuous progress.
  5. Regular Check-Ups: Periodic visits to our Encino office will allow us to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
  6. Final Results: Once your treatment is complete, you’ll enjoy a straight, radiant smile. To maintain your results, we’ll provide a custom retainer to prevent shifting.

FAQs About Clear Aligners

Are clear aligners right for everyone?
Even with good at-home care, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. Professional cleaning removes these deposits to prevent cavities and gum disease.
How long does treatment take?

Treatment times vary depending on the complexity of your case but typically range from 6 to 18 months.

Will wearing aligners affect my daily life?
Aligners are designed to be discreet and minimally invasive. You may experience a brief adjustment period, but most patients find them easy to integrate into their routines.
Can I eat and drink while wearing my aligners?
It’s best to remove aligners while eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent staining or damage.
How do I clean my aligners?

Clean your aligners with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic.

How often do I need to visit the dentist during treatment?

Check-ups are typically scheduled every 6-8 weeks to ensure your treatment is on track.
