At South Shore Dental Prosthetics, we offer clear aligners, both Invisalign and SureSmile, as a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces. Clear aligners are made of a clear, flexible plastic that is virtually invisible when worn.
They are custom-made to fit your teeth and gently move them into the desired position over time. The best part about clear aligners is that they can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, meaning you can continue enjoying your favorite foods and drinks without worrying about damaging your braces. Pros: 1. You can see the results of your treatment before you even start wearing the aligners. Clear aligners are more comfortable than traditional braces.
The treatment time is usually shorter with clear aligners than with braces. Cons: 1. Clear aligners can be more expensive than conventional braces. You have to be diligent about wearing them for at least 22 hours a day to get the best results.
You may have to use a retainer after your treatment to keep your teeth from shifting back to their original position. Clear aligners can cause some temporary discomfort when you first start wearing them.
The first step is to visit Dr. Pavlicic for a consultation. Pavlicic and our staff will examine your teeth and take X-rays to determine if clear aligners are a good option for you. If they are, Dr. Pavlicic and our team will take impressions of your teeth which we will use to create your custom aligners.
