Clear aligners are a modern, flexible alternative to traditional braces. They use custom-made, removable trays to gently guide teeth into better alignment.
Advanced Technology for Precision
At Cook Orthodontics, we utilize advanced motion view technology and a high-resolution scanner to craft clear aligners, including uLab aligners, without the need for traditional impressions. Our in-office 3D printer ensures faster processing and precise fit, enhancing your treatment experience with Dr. Brian Cook.
How Do Clear Aligners Work?
Each aligner is custom-designed to fit snugly over your teeth and gradually shift them into place. This is how the process works:
- Custom Design: Every aligner is tailored to your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit and effective results.
- Daily Wear: Wear each set of aligners for at least 20 hours daily. Switch to a new aligner approximately every three weeks.
- Treatment Duration: The duration of treatment varies, typically ranging from six months to two years.
Advantages of Clear Aligners
Clear aligners, such as uLab aligners, are a great choice for individuals seeking a discreet way to straighten their teeth or refine previous orthodontic work. Here are some of the key advantages:
- Easy Maintenance: Clear aligners are simple to clean, promoting better oral hygiene by making it easy to brush and floss effectively.
- Comfort: Made from smooth plastic, they minimize irritation to the gums and cheeks, offering a comfortable fit throughout your treatment.
- Removability: Clear aligners are removable for eating and drinking, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions. This also makes it more convenient to maintain oral hygiene practices such as brushing and flossing.
Why Choose Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a great option for people who want a discreet and comfortable orthodontic treatment. They are especially suitable for individuals who want to avoid the look of metal braces or need to refine previous orthodontic work.
