If you are looking for an alternative to traditional metal braces, Dr. Joseph Kayne and Dr. John Wilson may recommend clear aligner therapy. Clear aligners are a great option for straightening your teeth, allowing you to improve your smile while also enjoying a completely natural appearance during your treatment.
Clear aligners are made from smooth, thin plastic and are custom designed and computer generated to fit your smile perfectly. When you receive this treatment, our dentists will provide you with a series of these aligners and instructions on how to wear them. You will switch to a new set of aligners every few weeks, with each new aligner making small changes to the positions of your teeth until they have been moved into their ideal positions.
Your aligners will be nearly invisible when worn to ensure a natural appearance throughout your treatment. Your aligners are also removable, producing only minimal impact on your day-to-day life since you can eat, brush and floss normally while receiving treatment. We do, however, recommend that you wear your aligners at all times except when eating, brushing or flossing since your treatment will progress more quickly if you are wearing your aligners as directed. We also recommend that you clean your aligners regularly — because they are made from clear plastic, they may cause your teeth to appear discolored, dirty or stained if the aligners are not kept clean.
We invite you to call Rock Canyon Dentistry at 801-373-6362 to schedule your consultation with our dentists and learn if clear aligners in Provo, Utah, are right for you.
