Clear Aligner Therapy
If you have considered straightening your teeth but can’t picture yourself in metal brackets and wires, we have a solution. At Frontier Dental in Medina, OH, Dr. Mohamed Morgan offers clear aligner therapy as a discreet, comfortable alternative.
How Clear Aligners Work
Custom-made clear aligners are transparent trays that fit snugly over your teeth, like a mouthguard, and gradually shift them into the correct position. Treatment is easy; just wear each set of trays for one to two weeks, then switch to the next in the series.
What Problems Do Clear Aligners Correct?
Clear aligners work well for a range of mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowded, overlapping teeth
- Uneven gaps and spacing issues
- Overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites
- Teeth that have relapsed after previous orthodontic treatment
In more complex cases, traditional braces may still be the better option. After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Morgan will advise you on the approach that is right for you.
Dr. Morgan starts with a thorough examination where he discusses your goals and takes digital x-rays, photos, and scans of your teeth. He gathers this information and uses specialized software to map out how each tooth will move through treatment.
