Clear Aligner Therapy in Kelowna

Clear Aligner Therapy

Clear aligner therapy is also sometimes known as “invisible braces.” This is a popular treatment option for those who want to correct their bite and align their teeth, but without the look and feel of traditional braces. Clear aligner therapy can be a good option for people with mild to moderate alignment needs.

How Clear Aligner Therapy Works

Clear aligner therapy uses transparent plastic trays that fit over the teeth and slowly adjust their positions over time. Depending on how your teeth need to be shifted, you will receive several different trays during the course of your treatment. Aligners need to be worn for the majority of the day to be effective (including during sleep), but can be removed to eat and to clean your teeth and the trays. 

Why Patients Choose Clear Aligner Therapy 

Clear aligner therapy delivers several benefits that orthodontic patients enjoy. First, the aligners are nearly invisible in the mouth, allowing you to smile naturally without any visible structures in the mouth. Another benefit is that there are no restrictions to eating; as long as you clean your teeth and aligners well, you can enjoy all the foods you would normally eat. Finally, eating and cleaning your teeth and aligners is convenient and simple, because the aligners can simply be removed when necessary.
