Clear braces Q & A
What is clear braces?
Clear braces is a dental teeth-straightening solution that gradually shifts your teeth into alignment. The process usually takes between six to 18 months.
With clear braces, you wear a series of comfortable, custom-made, thermoplastic aligner trays.
How does clear braces straighten teeth?
The first step of the clear braces process is a personal consultation where Dr. Khosrovani produces impressions of your teeth and uses them to form a 3D model. The 3D model helps Dr. Khosrovani to carefully map out the movement of your teeth and create your personalized clear braces treatment plan.
In some cases, Dr. Khosrovani might be able to give you an estimated time frame for your clear braces treatment. Clear braces also allows you to preview your results to see how your straightened teeth will look. You can view a 3D computer simulation and digital design.
Your custom aligner trays are created in a dental lab and sent to the Briter Smile office. You place the trays comfortably over your teeth. It’s important you wear your trays for a minimum of 22 hours every day for the best results.
You return to the Briter Smile office every two weeks to receive your new custom trays and you continue to wear the trays until you and Dr. Khosrovani are happy with the look and functioning of your teeth and smile.
You should remove your aligner trays and rinse them with warm water daily and you might also want to use a soft toothbrush to gently brush your aligners.
After your treatment, Dr. Khosrovani might recommend that you wear a retainer made from the same material as your aligner trays to make sure your teeth don’t drift out of place.
