How do I fix crooked teeth?

Clear Aligners is an invisible approach to straightening teeth that uses a series of nearly undetectable, removable aligners that you change every two weeks for a new set. Each aligner is custom-made for you, ensuring optimal comfort. It's the ideal orthodontic treatment for today's lifestyle.

Clear Aligner technology that offers an alternative to traditional metal braces with bonded brackets. The advantages include improved patient comfort, compliance, and aesthetics during treatment. You have to wear your retainers for 22 hours a day to see the results you desire. With Clear Aligner, your teeth are easier to maintain. Treatment typically takes about 12 months to complete.

How does it work?

We build a computer model of your treatment. Clear Aligner creates a series of customized aligners. Each clear aligner is slightly different, shifting your teeth gently towards the correct position. Each aligner is worn for two weeks before proceeding to the next in the series.

Treatment duration will vary depending on your condition, but the standard course of treatment will be nine to fifteen months. 222 Main Street Dental in Milford will meet you for a progress check every 4 to 6 weeks, during which time you will receive your new aligners.

Is Clear Aligner the right choice for me?

Crossbite: A crossbite occurs when one or more teeth from the upper jaw bite the interior of the lower set of teeth. This occurs when both the upper and lower jaws are misaligned. It can lead to tooth decay, bone loss, and gum disease.

Crowded teeth: Crowding happens when there is not enough room in the upper and lower jaws to accommodate all of your developing teeth. The teeth become crowded as a result, and if the misalignment is not corrected, they can become extremely crooked. Plaque, gum disease, and tooth decay issues are common with crowded teeth since it's difficult to adequately clean teeth that are out of alignment.

Teeth gaps: Teeth gaps may develop as a result of irregular jawbone development or as a result of tooth loss when adjoining teeth move from their normal positions into the extra space. Periodontal disease and gum disorders can develop as a result of gaps in the teeth.

Deep Bite: Overbite, often known as a deep bite, occurs when the upper jaw covers the lower jaw abnormally. An overbite can result in gum issues, lower jaw tooth deterioration, and problems with joint function.

Underbite: An underbite occurs when the lower jaw protrudes outward due to insufficient growth of the upper jaw or the absence of upper teeth. This might hurt the jaw and prevent the front teeth from functioning normally.
