Hobbs clear aligners experts
If you're seeking the remarkable results that traditional braces provide, but crave more freedom and flexibility during your treatment, a clear aligner system could be the answer. At our Hobbs orthodontic practice, we take pride in creating stunning, lifelong smiles for patients of every age.
Benefits of clear aligners
You can easily brush or floss.
Keeping your teeth and gums healthy is important during orthodontic treatment. With clear aligners, you can remove them to brush and floss your teeth with ease.
There are no pesky wires.
Braces can sometimes irritate your mouth with wires that poke or prod. With clear aligners, there are no wires, making them a comfortable alternative. While you'll still need to check in with your orthodontist, there are no adjustments needed.
They're practically invisible.
Clear aligners provide a discreet way to straighten your teeth. For those who prefer a subtle orthodontic treatment method, clear aligners can be a great option.
You can eat or drink whatever you want.
Unlike braces, clear aligners are removable, allowing you to eat and drink anything you want without worrying about damaging them.
How clear aligners work
Clear aligner systems are a series of removable aligners that straighten teeth and boost oral health. Studies have shown that when used as recommended, clear aligners are as effective as traditional metal braces in treating most common orthodontic problems.
During your initial consultation, our team utilizes X-rays and digital impressions to create a precise 3D model of your teeth. With this model, we custom design aligners specifically for your smile. Made of a soft, comfortable material, these aligners fit snugly over your teeth and are replaced every one to two weeks to gradually move your teeth into the correct positions.
At Farnsworth Family Orthodontics, our experts monitor your treatment's progress and ensure that your aligners are swapped at the correct time and worn as instructed. Consistency is critical for the success of clear aligners, and missing appointments or failing to change your aligners can quickly undo any progress made, leading to longer treatment times.
It is important that you follow our recommended guidelines to ensure that your treatment is successful. Our team of experts will make sure that your treatment is progressing as planned, and it is critical that you change your aligners at the right time and wear them as instructed. Failure to do so can negate progress and result in longer treatment times.
Since every person is unique, the time it takes to see results with clear aligners can vary from one patient to the next. However, by wearing your aligners as instructed, you can minimize the time it takes to achieve the desired results. At Farnsworth Family Orthodontics, we are here to help you throughout the process, whether you want to learn more about Invisalign® clear aligners or find out if you are a good candidate for this treatment.
