Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment option used to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. They are an alternative to traditional braces and are designed to be less noticeable and more comfortable. Clear aligners are made of a clear, plastic-like material that fits over the teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired position. At Lilac Dentistry you’ll receive the best possible care on your journey to a beautifully aligned smile.

Why pick clear aligners or products like Invisalign instead of braces?
Custom
Clear aligners are custom-made for each patient based on their unique dental impressions and treatment plan. They are designed to address specific alignment issues and achieve optimal results.
Removable
One of the significant advantages of clear aligners is that they are removable. Patients can take them out for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This makes maintaining oral hygiene more accessible compared to traditional braces.
Invisible
Clear aligners are nearly invisible when worn, making them a discreet option for those who prefer a less noticeable orthodontic treatment.
Comfortable
Clear aligners are typically more comfortable than traditional braces because they lack brackets, wires, and bands that can cause irritation or soreness in the mouth.
Progressive
Patients receive a series of aligners, each slightly different from the previous one, which gradually moves the teeth into the desired positions. Patients switch to a new aligner approximately every two weeks.
Versatile
Clear aligners can address a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. However, the suitability of clear aligners depends on the complexity of the case and the patient's commitment to wearing them as directed.
