Why should I choose Clear Aligners?

Clear Aligners are a great option for teens, adults, and anyone looking for a discreet orthodontic solution. Using clear plastic trays to gently exert pressure on your teeth, these aligners shift them into the desired position. They are thin, nearly invisible, comfortable, and removable. With traditional braces, you have to change your diet, your at-home oral hygiene routine, and deal with hard metal brackets and sharp wires that can poke your gums and cheeks. This is not the case with Clear Aligners! You can enjoy your normal routine while watching your teeth become straighter right before your eyes.

The Clear Aligners Treatment Process

Initial Consultation & Exam

During your first visit, your dentist in Franklin will take a look at your bite and smile to determine if Clear Aligners are the right option for you. This is also a great opportunity for you to ask any questions that you may have about your smile, Clear Aligners, or other treatment options.

Aligner Pick Up

Once you’re approved for treatment, we will take scans or impressions of your teeth to ensure your Clear Aligners trays fit perfectly. When your aligners arrive at our office, you’ll come and pick them up to begin your treatment.

Check-ins

Every six weeks or so, you’ll come back to our office to pick up your next few sets of aligners. Every treatment plan is different, so this amount of time may vary based on your needs. These check-ins are essential to ensure your treatment is on track and that your Clear Aligners trays are fitting properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us to speak with our team.

Am I a good candidate for Clear Aligners?

If you have minor or moderate orthodontic issues, you are likely a good candidate for treatment with Clear Aligners. So long as your mouth is free of any oral health issues like gum disease or tooth decay, you will probably be eligible to proceed with treatment. However, Clear Aligners are not for everyone. Severe orthodontic issues may not be able to be addressed with Clear Aligners. In these cases, we usually recommend treatment with traditional metal or ceramic braces as they can provide more powerful results. To find out about your options for orthodontic treatment, schedule your consultation today!

Do Clear Aligners hurt?

While Clear Aligners are usually more comfortable than traditional braces, there is still some discomfort associated with all orthodontic treatments. Since we will be shifting your teeth, you may notice tenderness and soreness as you get used to each new set of trays. Clear Aligners works by applying gentle pressure to your teeth which in turn creates inflammation that signals your tooth roots to shift. If you would like to lessen your discomfort during the initial adjustment period, we recommend that you take Tylenol. It is important to avoid ibuprofen because it is an anti-inflammatory and actually hinders the tooth movement process.

How do I wear my aligners?

For most patients, your treatment plan will indicate that you wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day, however, this may vary based on your unique needs. When in doubt, we recommend wearing your aligners at all times except for when you take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss. This will ensure you are getting the most out of your treatment and that your teeth are shifting as quickly as possible.

How do I care for my aligners?

Caring for your Clear Aligners trays is quite simple. Simply rinse with cold or lukewarm water and brush them gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush every night. You can also use Clear Aligners Cleaning Crystals to soak your aligners to keep them fresh and crystal clear. It is important to avoid rinsing them with hot water as this could warp the trays.

What if I crack my aligners?

If you notice that your aligners become damaged, cracked, worn, or if you lose your aligners, contact your doctor right away. If you delay this will only prolong your treatment and could reverse the progress you have made. In the event that you lose your aligners or if they become damaged, let us know and we will help you get back on track.

How much do Clear Aligners cost?

The cost of treatment with Clear Aligners is usually comparable to the cost of traditional braces. Every case is different, though, so it’s important to discuss your budget with your doctor. During your consultation, your doctor will consider multiple factors including your needs, your lifestyle, and your budget before helping you decide which treatment to proceed with.
