Clear aligners and traditional braces are both effective orthodontic treatments. Clear aligners are best for fixing mild to moderate conditions such as crooked, gapped, or crowded teeth and common bite problems.
For more complex cases, metal braces may be the better choice. They offer precise control for severe misalignment and teeth movement. Braces may also be recommended for younger kids because they're bonded to the teeth and can't be forgotten or lost. Clear aligners require a higher level of compliance and responsibility since need to be worn 20 to 22 hours a day and switched out every 1 to 2 weeks.
During your initial consultation, we'll go over your oral health, take X-rays, and talk about treatment options. If clear aligners are a good choice for your orthodontic needs, our dental team will digitally scan your teeth and present an individualized treatment plan just for you.
At your next appointment, you'll receive a series of custom-made aligner trays designed to move your teeth as quickly and comfortably as possible. While total treatment time depends on your goals, most patients see amazing results within 18 months. For minor cosmetic fixes, Reveal Clear Aligners Express treatment offers results in 10 months or less.
At Risas, we make sure clear aligner treatment fits into your real life. Our expert orthodontists will monitor your progress with appointments every 10 to 12 weeks. In between those visits, we'll stay in touch through our
Grin self-scan app.
When you start orthodontics treatment at Risas, you will be given a smartphone attachment to submit virtual scans and communicate with our team via the app. With Grin, you'll get extra attention from your dental team, with half the trips to the office. You'll also know exactly what to expect at every stage of your transformation. We're excited to offer this convenient option to our busy patients.
