CLEAR ALIGNERS IN ASHBURN, VA
STRAIGHTEN YOUR TEETH WITHOUT THE EMBARRASSMENT OF TRADITIONAL BRACES
Do you want to straighten your misaligned teeth, but just won’t do it because you hate the way traditional braces draw attention to your mouth? You know straighter teeth will make you feel better about your appearance, but it doesn’t make a lot of sense to have to go through two years of embarrassment wearing traditional braces in order to get your new smile. At Simply Smiles - Family & Implant Dentistry of Ashburn, we understand your concerns about your appearance while wearing braces. That’s why we offer a clear aligner system for straightening teeth.
With Clear aligners, there are no metal bands or brackets to call attention to your teeth and no wires to try to brush around. Custom-fitted, clear plastic trays are used to gently shift your teeth into the correct position. The trays can be removed, making it much more convenient when eating or when cleaning your teeth.
BENEFITS OF USING CLEAR ALIGNERS
Efforts to straighten teeth with some sort of wire wrapping date back over 2000 years. This eventually developed into what we think of today as traditional metal braces. This system works well, but has some disadvantages. The metal brackets and wires can sometimes be uncomfortable and cause irritation to the inside of your mouth. And traditional braces don’t look very appealing. In fact, many people avoid having their teeth straightened because they don’t want “a mouthful of metal.”
With clear aligners, you achieve a beautifully aligned smile while avoiding these problems. The benefits of Clear Aligners include:
5 HEALTH BENEFITS OF STRAIGHT TEETH
We all want to look our best, and having a great smile is a big part of that. But in addition to looking good, there are other benefits to having evenly aligned teeth which have a positive effect on your health:
HOW CLEAR ALIGNERS WORKS
We take x-rays, photos and impressions of your teeth which the Clear Aligners lab uses to custom-make a series of aligner trays which fit snugly over your teeth. Each tray is designed to shift your teeth just a little bit. You wear each set of aligner trays for about two weeks, then switch to the next set. About every six weeks, you come to our office so we can check how the treatment is progressing. Your teeth become straighter with each succeeding set of aligner trays until they are beautifully aligned and you have the smile you wanted.
We would love to help you achieve the smile you want. Call us at (703) 858-3456 to set an appointment for your free consultation to see if clear alignment is right for you.
