Customized Aligners
All orthodontic patients who qualify for smile alignment using customized aligners quickly realize the many perks of this subtle but powerful treatment. At Mariana Orthodontics in Monroe, WA, we design and create individual aligners in our office, so you can change your teeth and oral health quickly and effectively.
Unique Benefits of Customized Aligners
Every patient treatment plan is unique, no matter what type of orthodontics are recommended. The benefits of customized aligners, though, are what distinguish this treatment from its counterparts:
- In-house creation. Every customized aligner is made in-house at your orthodontist’s office using a 3D printer. This incredible technology allows for the perfect fit. If a tray doesn’t work flawlessly, it can be tweaked and corrected immediately.
- Personalized trays. Every type of orthodontic treatment that uses customized aligners is tweaked to fit the patient perfectly to allow for targeted and efficient movement of tooth crowns and roots.
- Complex treatment plans. Some patients have tricky alignment needs, which may require combo and hybrid treatments. Whether a case of misalignment is mild or severe, customized aligners make orthodontics more manageable for the patient.
Customized Aligners Speed Up Orthodontic Treatment
Treatment speed is always a concern for orthodontic patients. When it comes to customized aligners, the answers to these common questions make patients hopeful:
- How long will it take to start treatment? The customized aligner treatment planning software is used to finetune every plan for a perfect smile, right in the orthodontist’s office. Once you say yes to straightening your teeth, the work begins, no waiting for a dental lab to create your aligners.
- How long will treatment last? Average aligner treatment time is about 12 months, but this number varies depending on what needs to be corrected and the number of aligners that need to be worn to make the transformation happen.
- How long will treatment be delayed if I damage or lose an aligner? The beauty of working with an orthodontist who has a 3D printer and sophisticated, in-house software means distressing problems can be corrected almost as soon as you step foot in the office where a new aligner is crafted and printed.
Why Customized Aligners Can Work for You
Many people are told that their smile cannot be straightened using clear aligners because their misalignment is too complex. When people think their only option is metal braces, it may discourage them from pursuing any alignment method. The results are unhappiness with appearance, increased risk of oral health complications, and mouth and jaw pain.
Whatever is going on with your teeth and alignment, it can be corrected. Here are reasons customized aligners could work for you:
- Plenty of info. Treatment plans are created in the office within minutes and presented to patients so everyone knows what to expect from start to finish – how many aligners, how long they must be worn, if additional treatment is needed to complete overall alignment and teeth-straightening.
- Bring on hybrid cases. Some patients use fixed appliances on one arch of teeth but and aligners on the other arch. This creates a feeling of some freedom and satisfies patients who worry about full brackets and wires while undergoing treatment.
- Combos are possible. If you want to create true hope in an orthodontic patient, let them know their metal braces only need to be worn for a certain time and then they can easily and quickly switch to clear customized aligners to refine their case.
