Clear Aligner Braces

Clear aligner braces, also known simply as clear aligners, are a type of orthodontic treatment designed to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. Unlike traditional braces that use metal brackets and wires, clear aligners are made of transparent plastic material, rendering them nearly invisible when worn. These aligners are custom-made for each patient based on digital scans or impressions of their teeth.

Here are some benefits of clear aligner braces:

• Removability: Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. This feature makes maintaining oral hygiene easier and allows for more flexibility in diet, as there are no dietary restrictions associated with fixed brackets and wires.
• Comfort: Clear aligners are generally more comfortable to wear than traditional braces. They are made of smooth plastic without any sharp edges that can irritate the cheeks and gums, leading to a more pleasant orthodontic experience.
• Improved Airway Function: Clear aligners play a pivotal role in addressing various airway-centered orthodontic issues by promoting optimal dental arch expansion, which in turn alleviates airway restrictions and enhances airflow. By encouraging proper tongue posture and facilitating nasal breathing, these aligners contribute significantly to overall respiratory health. Some common airway-centered issues that clear aligners can help mitigate include obstructive sleep apnea, snoring, breathing difficulties, and malocclusions caused by narrow dental arches or improper jaw positioning.
• Predictable Results: Clear aligner treatment is meticulously planned using advanced computer software. This precision allows for highly accurate and predictable tooth movement. Patients can often visualize the anticipated results through digital simulations before starting treatment.

Invisalign: The Invisible Solution to a Perfect Smile

As an Invisalign® dentist in Rockville, we specialize in providing discreet teeth-straightening solutions. At Rockville Family Dental, we offer Invisalign®, a popular choice for patients seeking a subtle method to align their teeth. Invisalign® involves a series of clear plastic aligner trays that fit snugly over the teeth, offering a nearly invisible alternative to traditional metal braces. These aligners are not only discreet but also removable, allowing for easy maintenance of oral hygiene and flexibility in daily activities.

The process begins with an impression of the patient's teeth, which is used to create a customized series of aligners in a dental lab. Made from a strong yet flexible thermoplastic material, these aligners gradually shift the teeth into the desired position. Patients wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, switching to the next set in the series as directed by their dentist. This gradual adjustment process ensures comfort while achieving optimal results over several months.

Invisalign® offers numerous benefits compared to traditional braces. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them an attractive option for individuals seeking discreet treatment. They can be removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions, providing convenience and comfort. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign® aligners are easy to clean, reducing the risk of staining. Additionally, the gentle and targeted movement of teeth results in a more comfortable experience for patients.

Regular checkups are necessary to monitor progress and ensure the treatment is proceeding as planned. While treatment duration varies depending on individual cases, most patients can achieve straighter teeth within approximately twelve months. With fewer office visits required compared to traditional braces, Invisalign® offers a convenient and efficient teeth-straightening solution for patients in the Rockville, MD area.

ClearCorrect® braces utilize a series of clear aligners made of a comfortable plastic material. These aligners resemble full retainers and are virtually invisible when worn. Customized to fit your teeth and gums, the aligners apply gentle pressure to gradually move your teeth into alignment. With proper care, including avoiding scratching the aligner surface, they remain clear throughout the treatment process.

Unlike traditional metal braces, ClearCorrect® aligners offer convenience and flexibility. Patients receive all aligners at the beginning of treatment, eliminating the need for frequent office visits for adjustments. Each aligner is worn for about four to six weeks before progressing to the next in the series. This approach minimizes chair time, allowing you to carry on with your daily activities with minimal interruption.

ClearCorrect® braces offer numerous advantages over traditional braces. They are removable for eating and oral hygiene, eliminating dietary restrictions and simplifying cleaning routines. Additionally, they are comfortable to wear and do not interfere with activities such as sports or playing musical instruments.
