Clear Aligners

Gone are the days when straightening your teeth meant dealing with the inconvenience of metal braces. Welcome to the modern age of orthodontics at Raleigh Dental Arts, where clear aligners make the journey to your dream smile comfortable and discreet.

Oral Health Benefits of Clear Aligners

Clear aligners, such as ClearCorrect® and Invisalign® in Raleigh, NC (or similar brands), offer aesthetic enhancement, but these systems also promote improved oral health. We've shared a few of the dental health benefits below.

Wear and Tear

Closing gaps between your teeth and fixing an overcrowded smile promotes even bite distribution and more efficient brushing and flossing.

Jaw Joints Pain

Misaligned teeth stress your jaw joints, leading to pain and even TMJ. Clear aligners fix this misalignment for improved comfort.

Better Oral Function

Straight teeth are typically healthier than overcrowding and promote better oral function, such as easier chewing for better overall digestion.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Discreet. Comfortable. Convenient.

Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic solution that uses a series of nearly invisible trays to gently shift your teeth into place. Custom-made for your smile, these aligners can address a variety of dental concerns, including:

  • Crooked teeth

  • Crowding

  • Gaps or uneven spacing

  • Overbites

  • Underbites

  • Crossbites

While clear aligners are a great option for many patients, they’re not right for everyone. At Raleigh Dental Arts, Dr. Tarun Agarwal, Dr. Katie Hetrick, and Dr. Jim Pyle  will carefully evaluate your smile and recommend the best treatment for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. Clear aligners correct issues such as crooked teeth, gaps, crowding, and mild to moderate bite problems (overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites).

Who Is a Good Clear Aligner Candidate?

You may be a good clear aligner candidate if you:

  • Have mild to moderate orthodontic issues, such as crooked teeth, gaps, or bite problems.
  • Are committed to wearing your aligners the recommended 20-22 hours per day.
  • Understand that treatment requires visits every 6-8 weeks to monitor your progress. 
  • Have healthy teeth and gums without untreated tooth decay or gum disease.

It's essential to consult with the dental professionals at Raleigh Dental Arts to determine if clear aligners are the right choice for your specific needs.

Benefits of Clear Aligners

Clear aligners offer numerous advantages compared to traditional braces:

  • Discreet — Clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to undergo orthodontic treatment discreetly.
  • Comfortable — Clear aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, which reduces irritation to the cheeks and gums.
  • Convenient — Removable aligners allow for easy oral hygiene, as you can brush and floss without any obstacles.
  • Flexible — You can enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions by removing the aligners for meals. 
  • Predictable — Clear aligners use advanced 3-D imaging and planning technology, so you and your dentist can visualize the expected outcome before treatment even begins.
