Achieve a Healthy, Confident Smile with Discreet, Convenient, and Comfortable Clear Aligner Orthodontics
Orthodontics has come a long way, giving you more choices than ever. At Mint Dental in Meridian, Idaho, Drs. Kevin Pulsipher and Tysen Wood use the Invisalign and SureSmile clear aligners to correct orthodontic issues. These clear aligner brands work wonders in improving the alignment of your teeth so you can smile with greater confidence and ease.
What is clear aligner therapy?
Clear aligner therapy, like SureSmile and Invisalign treatment, is an orthodontic system that straightens teeth discreetly and conveniently. It uses clear, plastic aligners to shift teeth into a straighter, healthier position. Unlike traditional metal braces, the aligners can be removed for eating, oral hygiene, and special activities, making them a better fit for an active lifestyle.
How do clear aligners work?
Clear aligners use 3D digital imaging technology to plan your treatment. This technology allows our doctor to visualize the movements of your teeth and depict how your smile will appear upon completion of your treatment. This same technology is used to fabricate your aligners.
Although removable, you must wear the aligners for at least 20-22 hours daily, and switch the aligners every 7-10 days to stay on track with your treatment. As you progress with treatment, we’ll schedule check-in appointments every 4-6 weeks to monitor your progress until you achieve your smile goals.
Can clear aligners correct all orthodontic issues?
SureSmile and Invisalign have come a long way and can correct mild to complex orthodontic problems, including crookedness, overlapping teeth, overcrowding, uneven spacing, and bite issues. If your problems are severe and beyond the scope of clear aligner treatment, your Meridian dentist will recommend alternative treatments.
What’s the cost of clear aligner treatment?
The cost depends on the complexity of your treatment. Minor problems will be quicker and less costly than more extensive orthodontic issues. Your dentist will give you an estimate of your treatment cost during your consultation. For your convenience, we accept several dental insurance plans and offer flexible payment plans to put this treatment well within your financial reach.
Is clear aligner therapy a good choice for orthodontics?
Considering clear aligner therapy? Before taking the plunge, it’s vital to consider its benefits. First, the aligners are clear. When worn, they’re hardly noticeable on your teeth and won’t affect your appearance. Second, the aligners are removable for eating and oral hygiene. You can eat whatever you want and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine.
Additional benefits include:
- Comfort, as the aligners have no metal parts to irritate your mouth, gums, or cheeks.
- Effectiveness in correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues.
- Time-saving, as you won’t need as many dental visits.
- Convenience, as your treatment won’t interfere with your lifestyle.
