What’s the Point of Orthodontic Treatment Besides Pretty, Straight Teeth?
Did you know that a straighter smile can offer more benefits than just making you feel better about your smile? Straighter teeth have been shown to minimize your risk of developing common dental problems, like gum disease and cavities, by making brushing and flossing more effective.
Our Clear Aligner Options
When you visit our team for a clear aligner consultation, we will examine your mouth and speak with you about the different brands that we offer. Our office utilizes ClearCorrect and Spark aligners, which are two modern, recognized top-of-the-line brands. Depending on your desires and unique case, we can speak with you about the unique benefits of each brand to help you choose the one that’s best for you.
How Do Clear Aligners Work?
ClearCorrect and Spark aligners work in virtually the same way. Every two weeks, you’ll graduate to the next pair of trays in your treatment, each of which will be custom-designed to gently shift your teeth into alignment, addressing bite problems, crowding, and gaps between your teeth. Every six to eight weeks, you’ll return to our office for a quick check-in visit with Dr. Rochelle and to pick up the next series of aligners in your treatment. This process will continue until your final goals have been reached. At this point, our team will create a retainer for you to wear to help keep your newly aligned teeth from drifting out of place again.
The Benefits of Clear Aligner Orthodontics
There are a number of reasons why clear aligners are the top choice of orthodontic treatment for patients in Minneapolis! When you invest in the metal-free way to straighten your smile, you’ll be able to enjoy countless benefits, including:
- Eat the same foods that you love, just be sure to remove your aligners before you eat or drink anything besides water.
- Easier to maintain a healthy smile, as you won’t need to worry about brushing and flossing around metal orthodontic appliances. Just take your trays out and brush and floss like normal!
- More comfortable treatment that doesn’t require you to carry around orthodontic wax with you. Your aligners will be smooth and won’t catch on the inside of your cheeks or lips.
Am I Too Old for Orthodontic Treatment?
Our team regularly sees older patients who either weren’t able to receive orthodontic treatment as a teen or weren’t diligent about wearing their retainers afterwards for clear aligners in Minnetonka. Because having a straighter smile can benefit your confidence as well as your oral and overall health, we wholeheartedly believe that none of our patients are too old for orthodontic treatment!
