Achieve Your Dream Smile With Easy Aligner Treatment

At Valley Dental and Orthodontics, Dr. Wong has numerous orthodontics available for his patients. We’re not a one-size-fits-all practice and it shows. While braces may work better for some, clear aligners are one of the more popular options. Treatment with aligners is ideal for those who want to discreetly straighten their teeth without anyone noticing.

You can find out if you are a candidate for this treatment with a consultation. Dr. Wong will do an exam of your mouth and take digital X-rays. This information helps him determine if clear aligners are a good fit for you. If they are, he’ll capture impressions of your teeth with a digital scanner instead of messy goop. The information is sent to a lab, where the aligners are made. You’ll return to our office to pick them up when they are ready.

You can expect numerous benefits from teeth aligners:

  • Discreet Appearance – The SureSmile aligners blend right in with your natural teeth. They fit snugly over your teeth and gradually shift them into the correct position over the course of 12-18 months.
  • Fit Your Lifestyle – Aligners allow you to maintain your normal routines. You can eat the foods you want without restrictions. Simply remove your aligners for meals or snacks. You can also take them off to brush or floss.
  • Comfortable Progress Checkups – With clear aligner treatment, there are no uncomfortable progress appointments. You simply switch to the next set in your series about every two weeks. You also come in for quick check-ins every four to six weeks to ensure things are going smoothly.

Common Questions About Clear Aligners

Who do clear aligners not work for?

Clear aligners can address many of the same issues as conventional braces. However, not everyone is a candidate for treatment with aligners. The severity of your problems may require a more involved solution. That said, you will never know the best way forward until you schedule a consultation appointment with us.

Are clear aligners visible?

Barely. Unlike classic braces made of metal brackets and wires, modern orthodontic aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable, clear plastic that is virtually invisible. This means you won’t draw any unwanted attention to your mouth, and there won’t be any awkward questions or stares from onlookers during your months of treatment.

How do clear aligners work?

Unlike traditional braces that use metal brackets, bands, and wires, this process uses clear plastic teeth aligners to straighten your teeth. You simply slide the aligners over your teeth and wear them for at least 20-22 hours a day. You can freely remove your aligners for eating, brushing, or a special occasion, so long as you put them back in when you’re done.

How many hours a day do I need to wear clear aligners?

Most aligner treatments require about 22 hours of wear each day. They’re generally removed for meals, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear matters because leaving them out for long periods can slow tooth movement and extend treatment.

Can I eat while wearing clear aligners?

It’s usually best to remove them for anything other than plain water. Chewing can damage or distort the trays, and foods or drinks can become trapped underneath. Taking them out for meals also gives you a chance to clean your teeth before putting them back in.

Can I drink coffee with my aligners in?

Hot coffee may warp the plastic, while coffee, tea, and other colored drinks can stain clear trays. Removing the aligners is the safer option. If you drink something besides water, rinse or clean your teeth before putting the trays back in whenever possible.

Will clear aligners affect my speech?

You may notice a slight lisp at first because your tongue has to adjust to the trays. Most people adapt fairly quickly as they continue speaking normally. Reading aloud for a few minutes can help your tongue get used to the new position.

Do clear aligners hurt?

It’s common to feel pressure or mild soreness for a day or two after switching trays. That pressure means the aligners are guiding your teeth toward their next position. Significant pain, sharp edges, or an aligner that won’t seat properly should be checked rather than ignored.

Will I still need a retainer after clear aligners?

Yes. Clear aligners move teeth, but they don’t eliminate the natural tendency for teeth to shift afterward. A retainer holds the new positions while the surrounding bone and tissues adjust. Long-term retainer wear helps keep your finished smile where you worked to put it.
