How Clear Aligners Work
Clear aligner treatment always begins with a consultation, during which our team evaluates your teeth, bite, and smile goals. Using digital impressions, we’ll design a series of custom-made trays that each apply gentle, consistent pressure to shift your teeth over time.
You'll wear each set for about one to two weeks before moving to the next, swapping them out at home on your own schedule. We’ll also have periodic progress visits that allow us to observe your results and keep your treatment on track.
Once your final tray is finished, we’ll check your bite and either suggest refinements or give you a retainer. These final steps ensure your smile stays straight and symmetrical in the long run.
Who Can Clear Aligners Help?
Clear aligners are an excellent solution for patients with mild to moderate alignment issues, including:
Crowded Teeth
When teeth overlap or rotate due to limited space, clear aligners can gradually create room and guide them into a more comfortable, natural position.
Gaps Between Teeth
Spaces between teeth can trap bacteria and affect your confidence. Clear aligners apply targeted pressure to gently close unwanted gaps, creating more symmetry, and making your smile easier to clean.
Bite Alignment
Overbites, underbites, and crossbites can all contribute to uneven wear and jaw discomfort. Aligners can help gently draw your bite into a better place.
The Benefits of Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer several advantages that make them a popular choice for adults and teens alike:
- Discreet: The clear trays are virtually undetectable, so most people won't notice you're in treatment.
- Removable: Take them out to eat, brush, and floss—no dietary restrictions or special cleaning tools required.
- Comfortable: Smooth plastic trays eliminate the irritation that brackets and wires can often cause to soft tissues.
- Convenient: Clear aligner treatment follows a set routine that slips easily into any lifestyle.
- Quick Follow-Ups: Progress visits are typically short and straightforward, fitting easily into a busy schedule.
How Much Do Clear Aligners Cost?
The cost of clear aligners in Gahanna varies depending on the complexity of your case, the number of trays needed, and the length of your treatment. Our team will provide a full cost estimate during your consultation, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Some PPO dental insurance plans may include orthodontic benefits that can be used to cover a portion of the cost. However, it’s always best to check with your insurance company directly. Our team is in-network with many major providers, and we’re always happy to help patients understand their benefits.
No insurance? CareCredit financing lets you break payments into monthly installments, while our in-house membership plan may offer discounts that lower your out-of-pocket costs.
