Dr. Troy Kemahli can evaluate your oral health, including new x-rays, to determine whether clear aligners will correct your orthodontic issues.
Typically, clear aligners works well for mild to moderate alignment concerns:
- Crossbite
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crooked teeth
- Twisted teeth
- Overlapping teeth
You wear the first aligner for about two weeks and then move on to the next one in the set, staying the course until you have exhausted your supply. This marks the end of treatment and a new, straight smile.
As far as the length of treatment, it can vary from several months up to two years, depending on the complexity of your orthodontic issues. Your dentist will provide a timeline during your consultation. You can also remove your aligners when eating and brushing your teeth.
