At Shadowridge Dental, we offer patients in the San Marcos, Vista, Carlsbad, and Encinitas communities cutting-edge teeth straightening solutions. Dr. Norling is here to help you achieve the smile of your dreams. Clear aligners have become a popular choice for patients looking to correct misaligned teeth, offering an incredibly discreet look and a smoother overall orthodontic treatment experience.
Straighten Your Teeth Without Braces
What sets clear aligners apart is their virtually invisible appearance and everyday convenience, allowing you to straighten your teeth without the hassle of metal wires and brackets. Custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth, these aligners gently and gradually shift your teeth into their proper positions over time. Clear aligner therapy has a number of benefits for patients:
- Discreet appearance: Made from transparent, medical-grade plastic, clear aligners are virtually invisible. You can smile, speak, and laugh with confidence throughout your entire treatment.
- Removable convenience: You can take your aligners out to eat, drink, brush, and floss. This means there are no dietary restrictions, and maintaining optimal oral hygiene is much easier than with traditional braces.
- Enhanced comfort: The smooth, custom-fitted plastic means there are no sharp metal brackets or poking wires to irritate your cheeks, lips, and gums.
- Predictable results: Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we map out your entire treatment plan from start to finish, allowing you to see your projected smile transformation before you even begin!
How Clear Aligner Treatment Works
Your treatment experience is tailored precisely to your tooth needs across three simple phases.
The Initial Consultation First, we will evaluate your smile, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if clear aligners are the right orthodontic solution for you. We take the time to answer all your questions so you can feel completely confident before beginning.
Your Custom Treatment Plan Next, using highly precise digital impressions, we map out the step-by-step movements of your teeth. This advanced 3D imaging allows us to create a customized series of clear aligner trays designed specifically for your mouth, letting you preview your results before you even start.
Wearing Your Aligners Once your custom trays are ready, you will wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day, swapping to the next set in the series every one to two weeks. With each new set, your teeth will gently and gradually shift closer to their ideal, healthy positions.
