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.
In recent years, we’ve seen the emergence of Invisalign and other forms of Clear Aligners. These removable trays are customized and crafted for each individual and are an excellent way to achieve a straighter smile. Since Clear Aligners can be taken out, they make eating, brushing and flossing teeth, and cleaning the aligners much easier. They’re also called invisible aligners because they are entirely transparent and nearly unnoticeable when being worn.
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.
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.
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)
