Clear Aligner Treatment at Ohmart Orthodontics

At Ohmart Orthodontics, we are proud to offer clear aligner treatment, a modern, discreet way to straighten your teeth and achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Clear aligners, such as Invisalign® or Angel Aligners™, have become an increasingly popular choice for patients looking for an alternative to traditional braces.

Clear aligners use a series of custom-made transparent trays to gradually move teeth into better alignment. They are removable, nearly invisible when worn, and designed to fit comfortably over the teeth. For many teens and adults, clear aligners offer a flexible treatment option that fits easily into school, work, meals, and daily routines.

During your consultation, the Ohmart Orthodontics team will evaluate your teeth, bite, smile goals, and treatment needs to determine whether clear aligners are the right choice for you.

How Clear Aligners Work

Clear aligners use a series of custom-made, transparent trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Each set of aligners is designed to gradually shift your teeth into the correct position over time. Here’s how the process works:

1. Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we’ll take a 3D digital scan of your teeth and create a personalized treatment plan.
2. Custom Aligners: Based on your treatment plan, you’ll receive a series of custom aligners. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before switching to the next in the series.
3. Gradual Movement: The aligners apply gentle pressure to move your teeth into alignment. You'll wear them for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss.
4. Regular Check-ups: Throughout the treatment, you’ll visit our office for regular check-ups to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.
5. Final Results: After completing the series of aligners, your teeth will have moved to their final, desired positions, giving you a beautifully straight smile.

Why Choose Clear Aligners?

There are several reasons why patients at Ohmart Orthodontics opt for clear aligner treatment:

• Discreet Appearance: Clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a great option for adults and teens who want to straighten their teeth without the look of traditional braces.
• Comfort: The aligners are made from smooth plastic, which is more comfortable and less likely to irritate your gums and cheeks compared to metal braces.
• Convenience: Aligners are removable, allowing you to eat whatever you like without worrying about damaging braces. You can also maintain excellent oral hygiene since you can remove the aligners to brush and floss.
• No Dietary Restrictions: Unlike braces, clear aligners don’t come with a list of foods to avoid. You can continue to enjoy your favorite meals throughout treatment.

Who Qualifies for Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are an excellent solution for a wide variety of orthodontic cases. At Ohmart Orthodontics, we may recommend aligners for patients who have:

• Mild to moderate crowding of the teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
• Patients who prefer a discreet treatment option or wish to avoid traditional metal braces

However, clear aligners may not be suitable for everyone. Complex orthodontic issues may require more advanced treatments. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your unique needs and determine if clear aligners are the best solution for you.

FAQs

Are clear aligners more effective than braces?

Clear aligners and braces are both effective orthodontic treatment options. The best choice depends on your individual needs, smile goals, and the complexity of your case. While clear aligners offer the convenience of being removable, traditional braces are often recommended for more complex orthodontic issues. During your consultation at Ohmart Orthodontics, we'll help determine which treatment is right for you.

How long does treatment take using clear aligners?

Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners. Most patients wear their aligners for 20–22 hours per day to achieve the best results. During your initial consultation, the team at Ohmart Orthodontics will provide a personalized treatment timeline.

Will clear aligners be painful?

It's normal to experience mild discomfort or pressure when you begin wearing a new set of aligners. This temporary sensation is a sign that the aligners are gently moving your teeth into their planned positions. Most patients find the discomfort fades within a few days.

Is it possible to eat food while wearing clear aligners?

No. Clear aligners should always be removed before eating or drinking anything other than water. Removing your aligners during meals helps prevent damage, staining, and the buildup of food and bacteria, keeping both your aligners and teeth clean and healthy.

How long should I wear clear aligners each day?

For the best results, clear aligners should be worn for approximately 20–22 hours each day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking anything besides water, brushing, and flossing.
