Everyone seeks the perfect smile, yet no one seems to have one naturally. In terms of straight teeth, teenage years bring metal braces with constant tightening appointments. In the past, metal braces were the only option for readjusting teeth, yet with the introduction of Clear Aligner Systems your can realign your smile without the unappealing metal. If these clear braces sound like the right alternative for you, then a visit to Dr. Gilly Calcagno, your Rochester, MN dentist is in order.
Correct Your Smile at any Age
Having perfectly aligned teeth isn’t a luxury exclusively available for teenagers, adults can correct their smiles just effectively and efficiently with Clear Aligner Systems clear braces. These alternatives to metal braces come with a series of custom-made aligners to straighten your teeth in small increments. The patient wears one set of aligners for a two period before disposing of that set and beginning a new one. The entire process takes about a year, and the result is a beautifully adjusted smile.
For these clear braces, Dr. Calcagno in Rochester, MN must determine your candidacy. Clear Aligner Systems works best for patients with minor dental issues, such as:
- Crooked teeth
- Gapped teeth
- Overcrowded teeth
- Mild overbites and underbites
Once Dr. Calcagno approves the treatment, a series of pictures, x-rays, and impressions take place. This information is then sent to the Clear Aligner Systems lab where technicians create the custom-fitted aligners. With a final appointment to ensure the fit of your braces, you can begin altering your smile.
Caring for Clear Braces
In order for the braces to take full effect, you must wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily. The aligners only require removal during meal times and to clean your teeth. Clear Aligner Systems braces also stain easily, therefore, smoking and consuming dark colored beverages during use isn’t advised.
