How Clear Aligners Work

Clear aligners work similarly to braces by applying gentle pressure to guide your teeth into place—but without the hassle of metal wires or brackets. Crafted from durable, high-quality plastic, these aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth. As your treatment advances, you’ll switch to a new aligner, with each new aligner designed to bring your teeth closer to their final alignment and your perfect smile.

  • Customized Fit: The process starts with your orthodontist taking detailed digital impressions or scans of your teeth. These are used to create a precise 3D model, which serves as the blueprint for your personalized aligner series. Each aligner is tailored to target specific movements and gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position.
  • Step-by-Step Adjustments: You’ll wear each aligner for approximately 22 hours a day, changing to a new set every one to two weeks. These aligners apply controlled, gentle pressure, ensuring steady progress throughout your treatment.
  • Regular Check-Ins: To keep your treatment on track, you’ll visit your orthodontist every six to eight weeks. During these visits, your progress will be evaluated, and you’ll receive the next sets of aligners to continue your journey toward a beautifully aligned smile.

The Procedure

When you visit us at our Carleton Place clinic, we will first assess your situation to confirm if Clear Aligners are suitable for your needs. Creating your perfect smile will take time but the end results are well worth it:

  • Pre-Screening Appointment: Our first session together, we will be gathering all the information to ensure your treatment starts off on the right foot. This will include photos and x-rays to help determine the correct treatment plan for you.
  • Treatment Plan Discussion: Once Dr. Agrawal has determined the best course of action, you will have another appointment to go over all of the details and answer all of your questions including the treatment steps, timeline, and financials.
  • Treatment Monitoring: Once the treatment has started appointments will be made every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress and to give you the next set of aligners.

Why Choose Clear Aligners?

As mentioned above, the difference between a porcelain inlay and an onlay is its placement on the tooth. Regardless of which one you receive, there are similar benefits:

  • Discreet Appearance: Clear aligners are nearly invisible, offering a subtle solution for those seeking a more aesthetic orthodontic treatment.
  • Enhanced Comfort: Made from smooth, plastic material, aligners eliminate the discomfort of metal brackets and wires, reducing irritation to the gums and cheeks.
  • Removable Convenience: Aligners can be easily removed for meals, brushing, and flossing, allowing you to maintain better oral hygiene compared to traditional braces.
  • Lifestyle-Friendly: Whether you’re an active teen playing sports or a busy professional, aligners adapt seamlessly to your daily routine without getting in the way.
  • Reliable Results: Clear aligners effectively address various orthodontic concerns, from minor spacing and crowding issues to more complex problems like overbites and crossbites.
  • Minimal Interruptions: With no wires to poke or brackets to break, aligners minimize the risk of orthodontic emergencies, making treatment smoother and less disruptive.
