Gaps, misaligned teeth, and poor bite alignment can occur in an otherwise beautiful smile. To resolve these issues, many patients consider the benefits of orthodontic treatment. Along with general, cosmetic, and restorative dental services, Dr. Achana Sheth and her team at Dental Care of Riverside in Riverside, California, are pleased to offer orthodontic options for patients to consider. These include two types of braces that utilize clear aligner trays to reposition the teeth.
Dr. Achana Sheth is pleased to offer patients solutions to straighten their smiles. Many patients avoid the conversation with their dentist about realigning their teeth for fear of being recommended traditional metal bracket-and-wire braces. Fortunately, the advancements in dentistry and orthodontia have allowed for alternative treatments that enhance the smile. This includes clear aligner therapies to straighten the teeth, eliminating the need for metal appliances that cover the smile and cause embarrassment for many teenagers and adults. The two clear aligner treatments available at our office include ClearCorrect and Invisalign.
Both ClearCorrect and Invisalign are popular, easy-to-use orthodontic treatments that are used in correcting bite alignment while treating gaps and turned teeth within the dental arch. Patients are required to wear thin, discreet trays over the dental arch for at least 20-22 hours a day to gently move the teeth into a proper alignment. It is vital that patients comply with their treatment, as these trays are removable, and patients progress through a series of trays to get to the final results. Most patients will achieve their final smile in less than a year with proper compliance and will find treatment to be far less stressful and embarrassing when compared to traditional orthodontia used by orthodontists in the Riverside, California, area. there are no restrictions on what you can eat as well as it is much easier to brush and floss with aligner therapy. also aligners are almost invisible and hence people do not know that you are undergoing ortho treatment. We invite patients to learn more about each to determine if they are good candidates.
During your consultation visit with Dr. Achana Sheth of Dental Care of Riverside, you will undergo an initial assessment to determine which treatment might be better for your unique situation. While both clear aligner treatments are incredibly similar, there are some differences that may make one better for a patient than the other. This may include the severity of misalignment and the cost of treatment to ensure it fits your budget. Speaking with our team is the first step in finding out more about the advantages of each and choosing the treatment best designed with you in mind!
