Clear Aligners

The Dentists @ Belmore are on a mission to help you achieve a healthy and beautiful smile, one that you can be proud to show off. But when our patients suffer from misaligned teeth, gaps and overlaps, we worry that they may hide their smiles from their friends and neighbours.

If this describes you, our team can offer you the newest and most effective ways for you to straighten your teeth. If you’re a suitable candidate, we can show you how a transparent aligner system assesses, plans and achieves a new and more attractive smile.

 

The Advantages of Clear Aligners vs Conventional Metal Braces

Transparent aligner systems offer many advantages to traditional orthodontics, among them being:

  • Discreet – Clear aligners show only your teeth. Where traditional metal braces are eye-catching, people around you will hardly notice that you’re wearing clear aligner trays.
  • Comfort – Constructed of a revolutionary acrylic blend, Invisalign aligners are precisely fitted and cause less irritation to your gums and cheeks than traditional metal braces.
  • Removable – During mealtimes and while you brush and floss, your aligner trays come out. This prevents food from getting stuck in places hard to remove and makes cleaning your teeth much more manageable.

The Clear Aligner Process With The Dentists @ Belmore

Because we prize health over appearance, The Dentists @ Belmore team's first step is ensuring your teeth are in the proper condition for realignment. If your teeth need any restorations, we should perform those first. Then, our dentists will examine your teeth to ensure your suitability for the treatment. Then, using digital images of your teeth, our team can create a treatment plan that fits your particular needs. This plan also helps us accurately estimate your treatment time, cost, and other details.

Your Part in Ensuring Treatment Success

Once you’re ready to create a new smile, a specialty lab will fabricate a set of aligners, and you will begin with the first in the series. The following is how you make your treatment a success:

  • Faithfully wear your aligner trays 20-22 hours each day
  • After approximately 7-14 days, change to the next tray
  • When removed, keep your aligner clean and secure
  • Visit us for regular check-ups to track your progress

As the clear aligner system does its work, you can literally see your progress. With each tray and optional button-type attachments on your teeth, your teeth will move towards their final locations. All you need to do is wear them as recommended and watch your new smile emerge.
