From Self-Conscious to Confident: How Clear Aligner Orthodontics Can Convert Your Life

Clear Wireless Orthodontics in Maryville TN Area

Crowded, crooked, and gapped teeth can affect your confidence, speech, and eating ability. Dental misalignments also cause health complications like bruxism and discomfort in the jaw area. Despite understanding the importance of a straight smile, you may still hesitate to pursue orthodontic care due to disliking metal braces.

You don’t have to rely on traditional braces to straighten your smile. Clear aligner therapy in Maryville, Tennessee, presents a discreet, convenient, and comfortable treatment. With removable, transparent, and custom-fitted aligners, Proffitt Dentistry can perfect your smile without needing metal wires, brackets, or elastics.

How do clear aligners work?

Clear aligners provide a personalized dental experience. We begin by examining your teeth and jawbone using digital X-rays and scans. Once we clear you for aligners, we preview your therapy with sophisticated software with incredible simulation properties to see how your teeth move during each therapy session.

Next, our dental lab fabricates your bespoke aligners using digital scans of your smile. Once you get the aligners, wear them 20-22 hours daily. Change to the next set every 10-14 days until you achieve your desired results.

Will you wear your aligners forever?

Like traditional braces, your aligners must come off at some point. While patients differ, clear aligners take 9-18 months to correct most orthodontic cases. Your therapy timeline depends on the severity of your problem and compliance with wearing your aligners.

After treatment, your dentist will provide a retainer to prevent your teeth from shifting back. Your teeth may have moved to a new position, but it takes time for the bone and gums to adjust to the new positions. Wearing a retainer maintains your teeth in the new straighter position. Without this orthodontic device, your teeth will return to their old positions!

Why should I choose clear braces?

What’s not to love about clear aligner orthodontics? This revolutionary therapy moves your smile without moving your life. The following are reasons why dentists and patients alike love clear braces.

Removable convenience: Clear aligners can be removed at will. Although you should wear your aligners almost full-time, you can remove your straighteners during meals and teeth cleaning. That way, there are no food restrictions or disrupted oral hygiene.
Discreetness: Clear braces are nearly invisible, keeping your orthodontic care your best-kept secret. The aligners are barely noticeable in the mouth, even to the eagle-eyed onlookers.
Comfort: You don’t have to undergo uncomfortable procedures to get the healthy, straight smile you deserve. Clear braces are created from a smooth, flexible material, allowing comfortable procedures from start to finish.
Versatility: Clear braces allow you to correct multiple dental issues, including misaligned teeth and malocclusions.
