• Tooth Wear: When your teeth don’t fit together correctly, they can wear down unevenly, leading to potential damage, TMJ disorder, and broken teeth.
• Increased Risk of Decay and Gum Disease: Misaligned teeth are harder to clean, increasing the risk of plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease.
• Compromised Oral Function: Crooked teeth can make it difficult to chew properly and may even affect your speech.

By straightening your teeth with clear aligners, you can improve your bite, make your oral hygiene routine more effective, and reduce the risk of dental problems in the future.

How Clear Aligners Work

Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment that gradually shifts your teeth into their desired position using a series of custom-made, removable trays. At Kayscreek Dental, we offer SureSmile and ClearCorrect, which provide effective, comfortable, and nearly invisible orthodontic treatment.

The Treatment Process:

1. Consultation: Your straighter smile begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Nelson. During this visit, he will evaluate your teeth and gums, discuss your smile goals, and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for clear aligners.
2. Custom Treatment Plan: If clear aligners are right for you, Dr. Nelson will create a customized treatment plan. This plan includes taking digital impressions of your teeth, which we use to design your aligners. These impressions allow for precise planning of each stage of tooth movement.
3. Wearing Your Aligners: You need to wear your aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next set. You’ll need to wear your aligners for at least 20-22 hours daily, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Regular wear is crucial for achieving the best results in the shortest amount of time.
4. Monitoring Progress: Throughout your treatment, you’ll have periodic check-ins with Dr. Nelson to monitor your progress and receive your following aligners. You’ll notice your teeth gradually moving into alignment within just a few months of starting treatment.
5. Completion: Once you’ve completed your series of aligners, Dr. Nelson will evaluate your results and may provide a retainer to help maintain your new, beautiful smile.

Benefits of Clear Aligners

Clear aligners offer numerous advantages over traditional braces, making them an appealing choice for many patients:

• Discreet Appearance: The clear, plastic trays are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without the noticeable appearance of metal braces.
• Comfortable Fit: Made from smooth, medical-grade plastic, clear aligners fit comfortably over your teeth, reducing the risk of irritation and discomfort.
• Removable: Unlike braces, clear aligners are removable, so you can easily enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine.
• Predictable Results: With advanced digital planning, Dr. Nelson can clearly outline your treatment plan and expected results, giving you confidence.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are excellent for teens and adults with mild to moderate tooth misalignment, crowding, or spacing issues. However, it is important to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy before starting treatment. Dr. Nelson will conduct a thorough examination to check for any signs of decay or gum disease, as we need to address these issues before beginning aligner treatment.
