If you’re looking to straighten your teeth but aren’t keen on traditional braces, clear aligners might be the perfect solution. At Towson Dental Group, Dr. Joseph Chung and our expert team offer clear aligners as a modern, discreet, and effective alternative to metal braces.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a set of custom-made, clear plastic trays that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners use no metal brackets or wires, offering a more comfortable and subtle treatment option. Whether you’re an adult looking for a more discreet way to straighten your teeth or a teenager avoiding the appearance of traditional braces, clear aligners can give you the smile you’ve always wanted.

The Benefits of Clear Aligners

• Discreet: The clear material is virtually invisible, making it difficult for others to notice that you’re wearing them.
• Comfortable: With no metal components, aligners are more comfortable and gentle on your gums and cheeks.
• Removable: You can take clear aligners out when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene throughout the treatment process.
• Effective: Clear aligners are as effective as traditional braces for many types of alignment issues, giving you the same results with less hassle.

How Do Clear Aligners Work?

Clear aligners work by applying gentle pressure on your teeth to shift them into their correct positions. You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next set. Over the course of your treatment, your teeth will gradually move, and you will see progress toward your desired smile.

How Long Does Treatment Take?

The length of treatment depends on your individual needs and the degree of correction required. Most patients complete their clear aligner treatment in approximately six to eighteen months. Throughout the process, you’ll be able to see steady progress, with results becoming more noticeable over time.

Are Clear Aligners Right for You?

Clear aligners are an excellent option for many patients, but they may not be suitable for everyone. During your consultation, Dr. Chung will evaluate your specific needs to determine if clear aligners are the right choice for you. If your case requires more complex movement or if you have other dental issues, traditional braces may be recommended.
