Clear Aligner Therapy

• Step 1. Initial Consult: First we need to evaluate if you are a candidate for alignment at this point.
  

Do you have any of the following:
Cavities?
Gum Disease?
Infection?
Broken teeth?
We want to make sure before you commence your journey you are healthy to start your transition.

• Step 2. Smile Journey: Avatar creation

At this point we need to digitize you, we will take photos, a digital scan, and a 3D scan. This way we are able to engineer your future smile, and how your teeth will function, via creating a digital avatar.

• Step 3. Smile Journey: DAY 1

It takes on average 3 weeks to receive your case. Once it arrives at our office, we examine that everything is perfect and schedule you to come in. We will review all instructions, ins and outs, and what not to do. We will deliver your first set of trays, and you have officially started your journey to a new you and new smile.

• Step 4. Smile Journey: Bright & Shiny
  

Hey, at this point we are doing great and almost done. We know you want to finish up but we want to make sure when we are all done, your bite isn't just right but your smile is radiating.

We will then give you a special whitening kit designed by SureSmile® to help get those pearly whites just right.  

• Step 5. Smile Journey: Retainers for Life.
  

It's been a journey but all journeys come to an end. Here at Midtown Dental Studio, we stand with you and want you to have a protected smile, so we are one of the only offices in the world to offer RETAINERS FOR LIFE. That's right you read this right, retainer for life. All you have to do is stay up to date with your cleanings and exams and every 18 months you will be eligible for a new retainer!

Why SureSmile® over braces?

Clear aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces:

• Aesthetic appeal: Clear aligners are virtually invisible, made from transparent material, so they're much less noticeable than the conspicuous metal brackets and wires of braces.
• Removable: Unlike braces, clear aligners are removable, allowing you to take them out when eating, brushing, or for special occasions. This means no food restrictions and easier oral hygiene routines.
• Comfort: Clear aligners are smooth and don't have sharp edges like braces, making them more comfortable to wear without the risk of irritation to the cheeks and gums.
• Safety: With no wires or brackets, there is a reduced risk of mouth injuries or emergency visits due to broken components.
• Shorter treatment time: In some cases, clear aligners can achieve desired results faster than braces, although this depends on the specific treatment plan and the complexity of the orthodontic issues.
• Predictable results: Clear aligner treatment involves advanced computer simulation, allowing you to see the projected progress and final outcome even before you begin.
• Minimal impact on speech: Adjusting to clear aligners is generally easier on speech compared to the initial challenges of speaking with braces.
• Fewer orthodontist visits: Clear aligner treatments may require fewer in-person appointments since patients can often switch to the next aligner set at home.

Despite these advantages, it's essential to consult your dentist to determine the most suitable treatment option for individual dental needs.
