Clear aligner therapy offers a modern alternative to traditional braces by using custom-made, clear thermoplastic aligners. They're almost invisible, making them a great option if you want to straighten your teeth discreetly. Ideal for correcting crowded teeth or gaps, clear aligners are comfortable, effective, and designed to fit seamlessly into your life.
There are no limitations to eating your favorite foods during clear aligner therapy.
Clear aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth without the need for brackets or wires, resulting in a comfortable fit that's tailored to your smile.
Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are removable, making it easy to eat and drink what you want and keep up with your oral hygiene routine.
Clear aligner therapy can align your smile in less time than traditional braces, allowing you to achieve your desired results faster.
During your initial consultation, we'll determine if clear aligner therapy is right for you. We'll assess your oral health, looking for any signs of gaps or crowding, and ensure your gums are healthy enough for treatment. Together, we'll discuss your smile goals and craft a treatment plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.
Next, we'll take precise impressions of your teeth and bite, either using state-of-the-art digital imaging technology. Once the impressions are complete, they'll be carefully reviewed for accuracy. Any necessary adjustments will be made before sending them to our trusted dental lab, where skilled technicians will create your first few sets of aligners designed to fit perfectly and gently move your teeth into the desired position.
When your clear aligners arrive, you’ll come back to our office so we can ensure they fit correctly and make any needed adjustments. We’ll give you detailed guidance on how to wear and care for your aligners. Typically, each set is worn for about 2 weeks, for 20-22 hours each day. You'll visit us approximately every 6 weeks to receive your next sets of aligners and allow us to monitor your progress, ensuring your smile transformation is on track.

Clear aligners work by using a series of custom-made trays that gradually move your teeth towards their ideal position. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, gently adjusting your teeth little by little. The duration of treatment can vary, the treatments Dr.Dr. Amuasi accepts are usually completed in 8 months or less.
Absolutely! Clear aligners are crafted from BPA-free, medical-grade plastic that is both safe and comfortable for ongoing use. This material ensures your health and comfort throughout the treatment process.
Clear aligners and traditional braces offer distinct methods for correcting your smile. Clear aligners use nearly invisible plastic trays to shift your teeth gently and discreetly. On the other hand, traditional braces consist of metal or ceramic brackets attached to each tooth, linked by wires. Clear aligners are not only more discreet but also tend to be more comfortable, and they can be removed for eating, taking photos, and other activities. However, for more complex dental issues, such as severe misalignment or jaw positioning, traditional braces might be more effective.
The cost of clear aligners can vary based on several factors, including the specific brand of aligners . To get a personalized estimate for your clear aligner therapy, we recommend scheduling a consultation.
