What Are Clear Aligners and How Do They Work To Straighten Teeth?
Clear aligners use a series of removable plastic trays that are custom-fitted to your teeth. Each aligner (or tray) is numbered and moves your teeth incrementally each week. Every 7 days you’ll switch into the next set of trays. These aligners are worn about 20-22 hours every day to achieve the best and fastest results and should only be taken out to eat/drink, brush, and floss.
Clear aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces. They’re nearly invisible, so most people won’t even realize you’re wearing them. The smooth plastic is comfortable to wear and won’t irritate your mouth. Plus, the removable trays make it easy to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment, and you won’t have to worry about the dietary restrictions that come with braces. If you’re interested in learning more about clear aligners and how they can transform your smile, contact Miller Orthodontics today to schedule a consultation.
Clear Aligner Treatments Available at Miller Orthodontics
Your smile is as unique as you are, and our doctors and team will create a personalized treatment plan to fit your needs and lifestyle. We offer several clear aligner treatment options:
Spark™ Clear Aligner System
Spark clear aligners are known for their superior clarity, stain resistance, and efficiency, making them an appealing choice for patients seeking a discreet orthodontic treatment option. Made from TruGEN™, a proprietary material, Spark aligners are designed to be more comfortable and durable than other aligners. Spark aligners are engineered to exert gentle, consistent pressure, which can lead to more efficient tooth movement. Spark aligners are popular for their exceptional transparency, reducing visibility during wear, and their resistance to discoloration, allowing for discreet treatment with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
While both Spark aligners and Invisalign offer transparent trays that gently move teeth, one major difference is often not mentioned – the certification of application. Many general dentists and orthodontists offer Invisalign. However, the Spark Clear Aligner System requires a higher level of training and is therefore ONLY offered by orthodontists. This is why the Invisalign brand has a wider reach, making it a more well known name.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Invisalign is one of the most widely recognized brands of clear aligners. Using a series of custom-made, transparent plastic trays, Invisalign gradually shifts teeth into their desired positions. Patients typically wear each set of aligners for 1 week before progressing to the next set. The aligners are removable, allowing for easy cleaning and the ability to eat without restrictions. Invisalign’s advanced technology includes 3D imaging to create a precise treatment plan, ensuring a comfortable fit and effective results. This makes Invisalign a popular and convenient option for many patients.
uLab® Clear Aligner System
uLab offers a highly customizable clear aligner solution that emphasizes speed and flexibility. Using advanced software, uLab allows us to design and create aligners right in our office, significantly reducing wait times and increasing control over the treatment process. Patients receive a series of clear, removable aligners that progressively move the teeth into alignment. uLab aligners are created using advanced 3D printing technology, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit. One of the primary benefits of uLab aligners is their adaptability. With uLab, we can make real-time adjustments to your treatment plan.
