CLEAR ALIGNERS
in Dacula, GA
HOW DO CLEAR ALIGNERS WORK?
Clear aligners are the ideal treatment option for patients looking for discreet and comfortable orthodontic care. Clear aligners use custom-made from transparent thermoplastic and used to move your teeth into the correct alignment. Here’s how clear aligners work:
- Dr. Kurz will take 3D scans of your teeth and map out a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs. The 3D scans allow Dr. Kurz to create a model to chart out the smile you can expect when treatment is complete.
- Using these scans, technicians at a dental lab will create a series of custom-made clear aligners. The aligners are clear, comfortable, and gently reposition your teeth over 6-24 months.
- You will receive a new set of aligners 1-2 weeks. Wear your aligners for 22 hours a day to achieve the desired position as determined by our dentist.
- Attend checkups every 6-8 weeks to monitor your treatment progress and make adjustments as needed.
Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are removable, allowing you to enjoy your daily routines without interrupting treatment. Simply remove your aligners during meals to enjoy your favorite foods. You can also take them out to play sports and engage in other physical activities, so you never have to worry about damaging your aligners!
