Our convenient locations ensure that you can access high-quality orthodontic care close to home. We specialize in advanced treatments like clear aligners, which offer patients a nearly invisible way to straighten their teeth.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners have transformed the orthodontic industry by offering a more discreet alternative to traditional braces. Made from transparent, medical-grade plastic, clear aligners fit snugly over your teeth and gradually move them into alignment. This orthodontic treatment has become increasingly popular among teens and adults who prefer to straighten their teeth without the visibility of metal braces. The aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and can be removed for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene, offering both convenience and comfort during treatment.
How Clear Aligners Work
Clear aligners work by applying gentle, continuous pressure to gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. The treatment process begins with a thorough consultation, during which Dr. McInnis will assess your teeth and create a personalized treatment plan. Using digital scans of your teeth, a series of custom aligners will be created. Each aligner is worn for approximately one to two weeks before progressing to the next in the series. To ensure the best results, aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, only removing them for eating and brushing. As you move through the series of Seneca clear aligners, your teeth will gradually move into proper alignment, with regular check-ups to monitor progress.
Advantages of Choosing Clear Aligners
Choosing Seneca clear aligners offer several benefits compared to traditional braces, such as:
Discreet Appearance
Clear aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing.
Removable Convenience
You can remove the aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.
Comfortable Fit
Made from smooth plastic, clear aligners are comfortable and less likely to cause irritation compared to metal braces.
Fewer Office Visits
With no need for adjustments, clear aligners require fewer in-office visits, making the treatment more convenient.
