Clear Aligners in Smiles of Palmetto Bay
Have you ever wished for a straighter, healthier smile but not looked forward to all the metal wires and bands that often go along with braces? At Smiles of Palmetto Bay, we can make your dream of having a new smile come to life.
Dr. Greg Ross is a certified clear aligner provider and can give you a clear, effective, and incredibly comfortable way to wear braces! The clear aligner treatment consists of a series of clear plastic aligners that gently and gradually move your teeth into place.
Clear aligners are more comfortable than traditional metal bracket braces, and since Dr. Ross is an expert at treating patients with clear aligners, he can give you convenient treatment with stunning results.
The clear aligner system features clear acrylic aligners that fit over your teeth, and Dr. Ross uses them to straighten your smile. They're removable, making it easier to eat, drink, brush and floss.
Dr. Ross and our team will take photos and X-rays to create a 3D image of your mouth. Using this advanced 3D technology, Dr. Ross can predetermine your treatment plan and show you the new smile you'll achieve, even before you start your treatment.
We make your first set of custom-fitted aligners from these images, and you begin straightening your teeth. This nearly-invisible option to straighten your teeth is genuinely changing the way people see orthodontic treatment.
State-of-the-art Treatment
Clear aligners take a modern approach to straightening teeth. It uses a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligners are made of smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth.
Wearing the aligners will gently move your teeth into place little by little, based on the exact movements Dr. Ross plans for you.
There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You pop in a new set of aligners every two weeks until your treatment is complete.
At Smiles of Palmetto Bay, you can get a great smile with a treatment that doesn't interrupt your daily life. The best part about the process is that most people won't even know that you're straightening your teeth.
Clear aligners have vastly improved over the years and can be used to handle various simple and complex cases. From crowding to spacing, underbite to overbite, Dr. Ross can use clear aligners to help you reach your ideal smile.
Dr. Ross has years of experience treating people with clear aligners, and we’re excited to offer this technology to our Palmetto Bay braces patients.
Differences Between Braces & Clear Aligners
When it comes to clear aligner treatment, there's a lot to consider.
Thanks to the innovative treatment, most clear aligner patients in Palmetto Bay enjoy:
- Fewer appointments
- Shorter check-ups
- Easier oral hygiene
- Fewer emergency visits
However, the system's biggest pro can also be a con—the fact that the aligners are removable.
Since braces are attached to your teeth, they do the heavy lifting to keep your treatment progressing. With clear aligners, you need to do extra work so your trays can work effectively.
