Wellington Office:
Fast, Effective, and Custom-Made for Your Smile
Clear aligners offer an effective and discreet alternative to traditional braces, using a series of clear, removable trays to straighten your teeth. In the past, creating clear aligners involved sending molds of your mouth to off-site labs, which increased wait times and limited control over your treatment. Today, thanks to digital technology and 3D printing, we can scan your mouth, create a digital model, and produce your clear aligners right in our office. This process saves time and money, allowing for a more streamlined, efficient experience.
What Are Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays that gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. Designed using digital scans, they fit comfortably and are nearly invisible when worn. Patients switch to a new set every few weeks, allowing controlled tooth movement while maintaining flexibility for eating, brushing, and daily routines.
Orthodontic Home Care for Clear Aligners
Orthodontic home care for clear aligners focuses on keeping both your teeth and trays clean throughout treatment. Patients are guided to rinse and brush aligners daily, maintain regular oral hygiene, and wear them as directed. Consistent care helps prevent staining, odor, and delays, ensuring smooth and effective tooth alignment.
High-Quality Clear Aligners Made In-House
Our custom-made aligners are crafted from the same high-quality materials as name-brand aligners, offering the same effectiveness in straightening your teeth. Each aligner is tailored to fit over your teeth and gently move them into position over time. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners use gradual pressure to align your teeth without the need for metal wires or brackets.
How Do Clear Aligners Work?
Clear aligners work by applying controlled pressure to your teeth, gradually shifting them into their ideal positions. As your treatment progresses, you'll switch to a new aligner every two weeks, with each aligner moving your teeth a little further into alignment. To ensure optimal results, aligners should be worn for at least 20 hours a day.
Benefits of Digital Scanning and 3D Printing
Our practice uses advanced digital scanning technology to capture a detailed 3D image of your teeth and gums without the need for uncomfortable molds or trays. The painless process takes only 5-10 minutes and produces a precise digital impression that helps us plan your treatment.
Using this digital data, we print models of your teeth at each stage of movement. These models are used to create your custom clear aligners, ensuring that your treatment is tailored to fit your unique dental needs.
