A smile that is both aligned and confident can influence a person’s life in various ways. It’s arguably the most fundamental aspect of human social interaction and can even affect one’s job prospects, as smiles have been known to do since the dawn of the modern business world. Now, when it comes to achieving the kind of smile that one is proud to confront the world with, one no longer has to rely on traditional metal braces. With clear aligner therapy, one can achieve the same result in a far more aesthetically pleasing way.
At the Precision Dentistry of Olympia, we are thrilled to offer clear aligner treatment using an advanced technology from Clear Aligner company, Dandy. We work closely with each patient to create a custom-fit clear aligner for their smile using our state-of-the-art technology. This innovative orthodontic solution allows you to straighten your teeth gradually and discreetly with a series of nearly invisible removable aligners.
The Clear Aligner Treatment Process
The clear aligner therapy process starts with an exhaustive examination and consultation to determine if the patient is suited for this type of orthodontic treatment. With the help of 3D imaging and computer simulations, a fully personalized treatment plan is made that is geared toward the individual’s specific needs and desired outcomes for their smile.
A series of clear plastic aligner trays are custom-made for you, detailing the precise, predetermined movements to shift your teeth into proper alignment. You get several sets of the aligners at a time and switch to a new set every 1-2 weeks. As you trust the system, there are clear, dramatic changes in your smile that unfold over months.
The dental aligners are clear, comfortable, and BPA-free. They are made with precision to fit your mouth and are almost undetectable when worn. The aligners are designed for you to wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day. You will take them out when it’s time for you to eat or perform your oral hygiene.
The Nearly Invisible Way to a New Smile
The transparency of clear aligners allows orthodontic patients the discretion that traditional metal braces can’t match. The freedom that comes with clear aligners is something that most patients truly appreciate. Some of the clear advantages include:
- Discreet Treatment – When worn, the clear thin aligners are nearly undetectable, enabling you to straighten your smile with supreme confidence.
- Dietary Freedom – Because the aligners can be removed, there are no limits on what you can eat or drink.
- Easier Cleaning – In contrast to brackets and wires made of metal, you can achieve a normal level of cleanliness with your teeth during the orthodontic process by merely removing clear aligners.
- Improved Comfort – Smooth plastic makes up clear aligners, with no wires, brackets, or abrasive parts to irritate the inside of your mouth.
- Minimal Disruptions – The majority of individuals will not even detect that you are having orthodontic work done!
In addition to lifestyle conveniences, clear aligners often permit a faster overall treatment time than traditional braces. Most cases treated with aligners can expect to be done in an average of 12-18 months, getting you to your straighter smile at least as quickly and quite possibly much quicker than when using braces.
Custom Treatment Plans for Outstanding Results
At Precision Dentistry, the clear aligner therapy we provide is tailored just for you. Using advanced technology, including digital impressions and 3D treatment previews, we plan your smile transformation in detail well ahead of time—even before the first clear aligner is fabricated.
If you require only small adjustments, we can produce plans for simple realignment. If your case entails larger corrections, we develop precise comprehensive treatment plans to deliver the desired result. Our approach to cosmetic dental care ensures that these plans are tailored not only to your specific orthodontic needs but also to your anatomy, facial structure, and smile goals. We work with you to achieve an outcome that is pleasing and beneficial to you.
We are not only focused on making our patients’ smiles straighter and more uniform but also on achieving bite alignment and oral health that functions optimally. We closely monitor our patient’s progress and adjust treatments as needed to keep them on track.
An Investment in Your Confidence and Well-Being
Besides producing results that are beautifully aligned, clear aligners offers benefits that are long-lasting. Helping you to your confidence, and your overall quality of life.
