Let us guide you through the clear aligner process and explore the numerous benefits they offer over traditional metal braces.

Clear aligners are an innovative orthodontic treatment that provides a discreet and convenient solution for a range of dental issues. Whether you have crooked teeth, gaps, or bite alignment problems, clear aligners can effectively address these concerns, helping you achieve a beautiful and straight new smile.

Clear plastic aligners are more comfortable than wires and metal brackets and are the safest solution for a straight and healthy smile.

Our dental practice in Seattle has been providing clear plastic aligners to people like you for years, and has the experience you need when it comes to a straight teeth and beautiful smile.

Dental Specialties Northwest explains that dental grade plastic removable braces are a series of patented tooth straighteners that are made to gradually move teeth into position.

These aligners are custom made to fit your smile and swapped out according to your prescription which is usually every 7 to 14 days.

Our team of doctors will prescribe 10 to 50 sets of aligners that you’ll wear for 22 hours for at least six months.

On average you will see a straighter smile in 12 to 18 months. Keep in mind that conventional wires and brackets can take up to two years before you will see any results.

The clear aligner process begins with a comprehensive examination by our experienced team. Dr. Thomas Sweeney, a highly skilled and trusted orthodontist, will evaluate your dental condition and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This includes digital impressions and X-rays to accurately map out your teeth’s current position and plan the desired tooth movement.

Using advanced technology, our team will create a series of custom-made clear plastic trays that gradually move your teeth into their proper alignment. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, applying gentle pressure to guide your teeth toward their ideal position. As you progress through the clear aligner trays, you will notice a significant improvement in your smile, with minimal discomfort compared to traditional braces.

Because you remove your aligners when you clean your teeth you won’t have to worry about tooth decay or gum disease. Unfortunately both of these problems are an issue with metal braces. Remember, wires and brackets are permanent throughout the entire treatment time.

You’ll also spend less time in our dentist’s chair as well. Old school metal braces require adjustments every two weeks or so. With clear plastic aligners you’ll only need to see us every six weeks to make sure your treatment is on schedule.

While most of or patients are excellent candidates for clear plastic aligners, those with serious issues, such as severe under or overbites, may fare better with conventional braces. Consequently, scheduling an appointment with our dental practice is the only way to be sure.
