Are you dreaming of a straighter smile without the hassle of traditional metal braces? Clear aligners have revolutionized orthodontics, offering a discreet, comfortable, and highly effective alternative. At NEESH Dental, we specialize in helping our patients achieve their best smiles using the latest clear aligner technology, including popular options like Invisalign.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are custom-made, removable plastic trays designed to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Unlike fixed braces, they are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who want to correct their smile subtly.

How Do They Work?

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation and digital scan of your mouth. Using this scan, your NEESH Dental professional creates a precise, 3D treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth from beginning to end.

‍

1. Custom Trays: A series of aligners are fabricated, each designed to achieve a specific movement.
2. Gradual Shifting: You wear each set of aligners for 1 to 2 weeks (as prescribed by your dentist) before moving on to the next set in the series.
3. Continuous Force: Each new aligner applies gentle, consistent pressure to move your teeth incrementally until they reach their final, correct position.

Clear Aligners vs. Traditional Braces

While both methods are effective for straightening teeth, clear aligners offer distinct advantages:

Are Clear Aligners Right for You?

Clear aligners are an excellent solution for correcting a variety of common orthodontic issues, including:

‍

• Crowding: Teeth that overlap or are too close together.
• Spacing: Gaps between teeth.
• Overbite: Upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth significantly.
• Underbite: Lower teeth protrude past the upper front teeth.
• Crossbite: Some upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth.
• Minor to moderate misalignments.

During your consultation at NEESH Dental, our experts will determine if clear aligners are the best course of treatment for your specific needs.

The Clear Aligner Treatment Journey at NEESH Dental

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Digital Scan

Your journey starts with a thorough examination. We use advanced digital scanning technology—no messy impressions needed—to create a perfect 3D model of your teeth.

Step 2: Custom Treatment Plan (The "Smile Preview")

We utilize specialized software to map out your treatment, showing you the exact movements of your teeth and providing a digital preview of your future smile before you even start treatment.

Step 3: Getting Your Aligners

Once your custom aligners arrive, we will ensure they fit comfortably and review all care instructions, including how to wear them for the required 20-22 hours per day.

Step 4: Follow-up Appointments

You will visit NEESH Dental periodically (typically every 6-8 weeks) so our team can monitor your progress and provide you with your next sets of aligners.

Step 5: The Retainer Phase

After your treatment is complete, we will provide custom retainers. Wearing your retainer as prescribed is crucial for keeping your teeth in their new, perfectly straight position—protecting your investment for life!

The Importance of Wearing Your Aligners

The success of clear aligner treatment relies heavily on compliance. For optimal results, aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours every day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, and cleaning your teeth. Inconsistent wear can extend your treatment time and compromise the final outcome.
