Want a confident smile without the “hardware” associated with traditional braces? Clear aligners are a significantly less noticeable option and can be a great alternative for most people. Made from transparent materials, clear aligners are custom-made for each patient using state-of-the-art scanning technology, which creates a 3D model of your teeth. This scan is used to create the transparent aligner, which gradually adjusts the alignment of your teeth. Teens, adults, and parents also love that the clear aligners can be removed. This makes eating your favorite foods more enjoyable and cleaning your teeth much easier.
The dental professionals at Volunteer Orthodontics are experts at creating healthier and happier smiles by using clear aligners to straighten teeth and correct alignment. Call us today to find out more.
When it comes to straightening your smile, experience matters. While many general dentists offer Invisalign, only orthodontic specialists have years of advanced training focused exclusively on aligning teeth and correcting bites.
Here’s why choosing a specialist makes a difference:
Your smile deserves the highest level of care. Choose an Invisalign provider who specializes in perfecting smiles—choose an orthodontist.
Clear aligners are removable orthodontic devices made from transparent plastic materials that adjust your teeth without the metal “hardware” traditionally associated with braces. Our Nashville based team will take precise electronic measurements of your smile and create custom aligners for the specific alignment of your new smile.
Clear aligners come in sets that will be changed typically every 1-2 weeks. They are meant to be worn at all times, ideally 22 hours outside of eating, cleaning, or rigorous sports activity.
Traditional adult braces are constructed to correct the alignment of your teeth using a framework of metal straightening wires and brackets. While braces certainly have cosmetic benefits, they also benefit you by making it easier to care for your teeth. Crooked and misaligned teeth are frequently more difficult to brush and floss effectively. By straightening your teeth, braces make it much easier to maintain oral hygiene.
Ceramic Braces are often referred to as Clear Braces, Tooth-Colored Braces, or Aesthetic Braces.
In dentistry terms, an orthodontics handle the diagnosis, positioning of the jaw, and correction of misaligned teeth.
At Volunteer Orthodontics, expanders are custom dental appliances used to gently widen the upper jaw and create more space for proper tooth alignment. They are especially effective in treating crossbites, crowding, and narrow arches. Expanders are typically recommended for children and teens, but some adults can benefit as well.
At Volunteer Orthodontics, professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile by lifting stains and discoloration from the enamel. Our in-office treatments penetrate the tooth surface to break down deep-set stains. This process delivers noticeable results quickly, and our team ensures a comfortable experience tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Volunteer Orthodontics offers comprehensive orthodontic services designed to enhance smiles and improve oral health. With a focus on clinical autonomy and patient-centered care, our orthodontic solutions are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.
Straighten your teeth with a clear alternative to metal braces. (For Example: Invisalign®)
Clear aligners are a removable, discreet orthodontic treatment. They consist of a series of trays that you wear for several weeks at a time. As your teeth gently move into position, you start using the next set of trays. Schedule an appointment to talk about clear aligners with our orthodontist in Nashville.
Most issues that involve braces or some other orthodontic device will not be so serious that they qualify as an emergency. At Volunteer Orthodontics, we care about your health and want you to call us immediately if you experience an injury involving your braces or orthodontic appliance.
After you have completed your orthodontic treatment and your teeth are properly aligned, our orthodontist will provide you with a retainer. Retainers are a type of custom-made oral appliance designed to help keep your teeth in their newly straightened positions so that they do not shift out of alignment. (For Example Hawley Retainers, Clear -Essix Retainers & Fixed Retainers)
