Some believe that orthodontic treatment is only for kids and teens, but more adults are undergoing therapy with clear aligners than ever before.
Clear aligners, like SureSmile® and Invisalign® in Medina, OH, can discreetly correct most mild to moderate orthodontic issues, making them ideal for adults who do not want to wear wire braces for a year or longer.
It may be that you had braces as a child but did not wear your retainer and suffered an orthodontic relapse. Maybe you feel you missed the window for orthodontic treatment. No matter the case, we invite you to join the growing list of adults straightening their teeth with Invisalign® or SureSmilet®.
How Clear Aligners Work
A special lab fabricates your aligner supply from impressions we take of your teeth. You work through the supply, changing aligners every few weeks until you reach the end of treatment. At that time, we fit you with a retainer to prevent orthodontic relapse or teeth shifting into pre-orthodontic positions.
Benefits of Clear Braces During and After Treatment
- You can remove your aligners to eat, brush, and floss, which means no eating restrictions.
- The clear plastic means discreet orthodontic treatment, which appeals to many adults.
- The smooth design means a more comfortable treatment compared with traditional braces.
- After treatment, you’ll find brushing and flossing more productive as no overlapping teeth exist.
- Your aligned bite surface can mean fewer orthodontic issues and support for your jaw joint health.
