Clear Aligners are a type of orthodontic device that is placed on the teeth to align them. It applies pressure on the teeth, which helps to push them to the desired position. The dentists of Ralston Creek Dentistry recommend clear aligners for patients who prefer a clear device for their treatment.
There are three significant steps that are involved in the procedure of clear aligners.
During the initial consultation, the dentist conducts a complete dental analysis of the patient. Several X-Rays of the mouth are obtained, which helps the dentist to draft a precise treatment plan for the patient.
The dentist takes the impressions of the teeth, which are sent to the laboratory for the fabrication of the clear aligners. Each patient requires multiple aligners for complete treatment.
In the next dental appointment, the dentist places the aligner on the teeth and check for any adjustments. The patient should visit the dentist regularly to analyze the changes in the alignment of the teeth. After attaining the desired result from each clear aligner, a new set of aligners are provided.
The dentist advises the patients to practice good dental care. The patient should brush and floss the teeth regularly before placing the aligner on the teeth. A soft-bristled brush must be used to clean the aligners. When not in use, it must be placed in a cleansing solution and should be rinsed under running water before placing it back on the teeth. They should not bite on hard objects as they may damage the aligner. In order to attain the best results at the earliest, the patient should wear the aligners for at least 22 hours a day.
Clear Aligner is an excellent treatment option for patients who like to avoid traditional braces.
