Cumming Clear Aligners
Hidden Treatment for a Happy Smile
At Forsyth Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, Dr. Nick uses advanced 3D imaging technology to create custom clear aligners right in our office. Our in-house aligners are designed just for you, offering a convenient and effective way to straighten your teeth.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a modern way to straighten your teeth without the look of traditional braces. At Forsyth Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, we create custom aligners in-house using advanced 3D imaging technology.
Made from clear plastic, our aligners fit comfortably over your teeth and gently move your bite into a straighter, healthier alignment. The aligners are nearly invisible, and you can remove them when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set. Our in-house production means faster turnaround times and aligners tailored perfectly to your smile.
How Your New Smile Gets Made
With Clear Aligners
Our clear aligners are custom-made in-house using advanced technology.
Here's how we create your perfect smile step by step.
Smile Scan
We begin with a digital scan of your teeth using 3D imaging technology. This creates a precise, detailed model of your mouth.
The scan is quick and painless, capturing every angle of your teeth.
This digital model is the blueprint for designing your aligners to ensure you get a perfect fit and the perfect treatment plan for your unique smile needs.
Design Time
Using the 3D model, Dr. Nick and our team design a series of clear aligners tailored to your teeth. We carefully calibrate each aligner to move your teeth in small, precise steps and to keep your smile on track
The design process happens right in our office. You benefit from a team that customizes your aligners in-house instead of sending them off to a lab.
Custom Creation
Once your design is complete, we create your aligners in-house. Our advanced equipment means each aligner is made to fit your teeth to a "T."
This in-house creation process speeds up delivery time and ensures high quality. You'll receive a series of aligners, and you'll wear each one for about two weeks.
Advantages of Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer many benefits that make them a popular choice for straightening teeth.
They are convenient, comfortable, and nearly invisible.
Let's explore the top advantages of clear aligners.
Invisible Appearance
Clear aligners are made from transparent plastic, which means they're nearly invisible. You can straighten your teeth without anyone noticing.
Whether you're at school, work, or social events, you can smile with confidence. Clear aligners let you feel good about your appearance while you work towards a better smile.
Removable Convenience
You can remove your clear aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This makes it easy to maintain your normal diet and oral hygiene routine.
Even better, you won't have to avoid your favorite foods like you would with traditional braces. Just take out the aligners when you eat, then brush your teeth and put them back in. It's that simple!
Comfort
Made from smooth plastic, clear aligners are more comfortable than traditional braces because you won't have to worry about metal wires or brackets irritating your mouth. The aligners slide over your teeth to provide gentle and consistent pressure.
Most people find clear aligners easy to wear and get used to them quickly. Say goodbye to the discomfort of metal braces and hello to a more comfortable way to straighten your teeth.
