Here at Dynamic Smile Design we offer clear aligners, an effective alternative to traditional braces. We’ve found that some of our patients greatly appreciate this orthodontic option over traditional braces.
Using gradual force, clear aligners gently move teeth into alignment without the use of metal wires or brackets. Clear aligners are made with very strong plastic material that is fabricated specifically to fit the patient’s teeth. As treatment progresses, the patient switches through a series of aligners, each one bringing the teeth closer to their correct alignment. It is recommended that the patient wear the aligners for twenty hours each day. New aligners are switched out approximately every two weeks.
For our patients who want a straighter smile but do not want to wear metal bracket braces or for patients who have had braces but want to make minor corrections to their smile, clear aligners are a fantastic option. They’re extremely simple to keep clean, which makes it easier to maintain healthy gums and teeth. They are less likely to irritate gums and cheeks. They prevent wear and tear on your teeth from tooth grinding. They are also removable, which allows the patient to brush and floss after each meal with ease.

You should wear clear aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene. Consistent wear ensures effective and timely results.
No, aligners should be removed before eating or drinking. This prevents damage and staining of the trays. You can enjoy all your favorite foods without restrictions.
Clean aligners daily using a soft brush and mild solution. Rinse them regularly to prevent bacteria buildup. Proper cleaning keeps them clear and odor-free.
