Clear plastic aligners, like Invisalign, are a modern and discreet solution to straighten teeth. At Glander Rochford Orthodontics in Indianapolis, IN, we specialize in creating personalized orthodontic treatments, helping you achieve the perfect smile without the hassle of traditional braces.
But how do clear plastic aligners actually straighten teeth?
Clear aligners are custom-made trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Each aligner exerts gentle pressure, gradually moving your teeth into the desired position. Here’s how the process works:
Consultation and 3D Scanning: During your initial visit to our Indianapolis office, we use advanced 3D imaging technology to create a precise digital model of your teeth. This allows us to map out the exact movements needed to correct your smile.
Custom Aligners: Based on your personalized treatment plan, a series of clear plastic aligners are created. Each set is slightly different from the last, guiding your teeth through small, calculated shifts.
Gradual Shifts: You’ll wear each aligner for about two weeks before moving on to the next set. Over time, the aligners shift your teeth by targeting specific teeth to move at each stage. The pressure is consistent and gentle, minimizing discomfort.
Regular Check-ups: Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit Glander Rochford Orthodontics to monitor your progress and receive new aligners as needed.
Clear plastic aligners are nearly invisible, removable, and comfortable—making them a popular choice for adults and teens alike.
