Straighten your teeth with clear aligners, a discreet alternative to metal braces, here at SiRa Dentistry in Spotswood, NJ.
Clear aligners are a way to work on your smile without traditional brackets and wires. Our dentists offer clear aligner orthodontics to address a range of cosmetic, functional, and tooth-alignment concerns. Below is what they are, who they tend to fit, and what to expect along the way.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
Discreet Design
Aligners are made from clear plastic instead of metal brackets and wires, so they are far less noticeable when you smile or talk.
Removable
You take them out to eat and to brush, so there are no food restrictions and cleaning your teeth stays simple.
Custom to You
Each set of trays is made for your teeth and designed to move them gradually toward their planned position over the course of treatment.
Who Clear Aligners Tend to Fit
Clear aligners work well for many people who want to address mild to moderate alignment and bite concerns. The best way to know if they are right for you is an exam. Our team has advanced training across a range of procedures, so if aligners are not the right tool for your case, we can talk through other options. Ask us about our comfort menu when you visit. We want your time with us to feel easy from the first appointment.
What to Expect
When you first receive your aligners, they may feel snug from the light pressure they apply. That is normal and usually settles within a few days as your mouth adjusts. You wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat or brush. Clean them regularly to prevent bacteria buildup, and take them out whenever you are eating or drinking anything other than water.
The Planning Process
Consultation
We examine your teeth and check whether clear aligners are a good option for your bite. A series of scans, photographs, or molds may be taken.
Your Custom Aligners
You receive a series of custom-made trays designed to move your teeth gradually toward their planned position.
Ongoing Check-Ins
Treatment commonly runs 6 to 18 months depending on your case. Our Spotswood dentists monitor your progress and make adjustments along the way.
Payment plans are available. If you are curious whether clear aligners are right for you, ask us during your visit.
