Hi-Tech Dentistry in Waterford Township, MI, has recently introduced clear aligners as one of its modern orthodontic solutions for discreetly correcting tooth misalignment quickly and without interruption to daily routines.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of transparent, custom-made trays that will gradually move teeth into proper alignment. Each tray is worn for a distinct period, usually about one to two weeks, before being replaced by the next in the series. Clear aligners differ from traditional braces in the following ways:

• Virtually invisible – designed to blend naturally with your teeth.
• Comfortable – no wires or brackets to irritate the mouth.
• Removable – eat, brush, and floss without restrictions.
• Custom-fitted – adapt digital impressions in conjunction with treatment, resulting in precision treatment planning.

Hi-Tech Dentistry will provide current, modern technology to scan with such high accuracy that your aligners will fit and deliver results consistently, without surprises.

Why Get Clear Aligners from Hi-Tech Dentistry?

Orthodontic care at Hi-Tech Dentistry does not intend to move teeth to achieve better positions; it strives to give balance and function with a less stressful treatment. Ultimately, patients come to us for clear aligners due to:

• Digital precision: Advanced scanning replaces messy impressions.
• Personalized plan: Each set of aligners is tailored to the exact case.

Conditions Clear Aligners Can Address

Clear aligners are highly versatile and can address nearly any orthodontic issue. They can work on:

• Crowding teeth – those that overlap or are too close together.
• Spacing problems – gaps between teeth.
• Overbite – in which the upper front teeth extend too far over the lower front teeth.
• Underbite – when the upper teeth are placed under the lower teeth.
• Crossbite – whereby both upper and lower teeth do not line up properly with each other.
• Open bite – wherein upper and lower teeth do not meet when the mouth is in a closed position.

Although many common orthodontic problems can be addressed with clear aligners, some complex cases will still require traditional orthodontic treatment. During your consultation, we will determine whether clear aligners are the best option for you.

The Treatment Process

With clear aligners from Hi-Tech Dentistry, your care takes a very structured yet personalized journey:

1. Initial Consultation
This process begins with a comprehensive review by our experienced team. We take the time to thoroughly understand your concerns, review your dental history, and help you determine whether aligners can be the right solution for you.

2. Digital Impressions
Rather than mold impressions, we use advanced digital scanning technology to make highly accurate 3D images of your teeth. This accurately fits your aligners and maps out your complete treatment.

3. Individual Treatment Plan
With digital models, we create a plan that shows how your teeth will be moved step by step with each aligner, providing you with a clear view of what you can expect moving forward.

4. Custom Fabrication
Your aligners are custom-made from smooth, medical-grade plastic. Each aligner is designed to apply gentle pressure, gradually shifting your teeth into their new positions.

5. Progress Visits
You will visit our office regularly to monitor your progress during treatment. These appointments are times when we follow the course of your alignment and make any necessary adjustments.

6. Completion and Retention
Once treatment is finalized, we may recommend using a retainer to help maintain the results. Retainers are often included as part of your long-term care to prevent teeth from shifting back.

Clear Aligners for Grown-Ups and Teens:

Adults
Most adults postpone seeking orthodontic treatment because they don't want to be caught wearing conspicuous, metallic braces. Clear aligners, however, offer a discreet and professional option that seamlessly integrates into everyday life. Whether at work, mixing with friends, or managing family affairs, with clear aligners, people carry on as usual without self-consciousness.

Teenagers
Clear aligners also suit teenagers who want a solution for straightening their teeth that requires minimal maintenance. The removable aligners simplify oral care and allow for greater participation in activities. If users comply, teenagers can achieve great results without the complications associated with traditional orthodontics.
