Clear Aligners | Straighten Your Teeth In Comox

The decision to undergo orthodontic treatment can greatly improve the appearance of your smile, oral health, and self-confidence. For patients with moderate alignment issues, clear aligners may be your best bet for a quicker, straighter smile, however, every patient and their needs vary and not every patient is a suitable candidate for clear aligners. For patients with more severe cases, including over and underbites, crooked teeth, or overcrowding, traditional braces are for you. Whether your case is moderate or severe, you can rest assured that our dentist can provide you with the highest level of orthodontic care possible to provide you with a smile you will love.

Instead of wearing wires and brackets for the duration of your treatment, you receive sets of clear trays that need to be worn for several weeks at a time. Once a series of trays is complete, you will wear a new set, specifically designed to progress the movement of your teeth into their proper position. The trays must be worn for 20-22-hours each day to keep your treatment on track.

Typically, the average treatment timeline using clear aligners is about one year, however, every patient is unique. If you only need small adjustments, you may only need to wear your trays for a few months. Similar to other orthodontic options, the greatest benefit of clear aligners is the boost in self-confidence. In addition, clear aligners are significantly less noticeable and are more comfortable than traditional braces. They are also completely removable, allowing you to care for your teeth and eat anything you like with ease.
