Clear Aligners in Huntsville, AL

Blonde woman smiling, huntsville al Clear aligner therapy is an orthodontic treatment system that gives you beautiful, straight teeth without traditional metal braces.

Instead of metal braces, we use clear plastic aligners to move your teeth into the correct alignment gradually. Clear aligners can correct many of the same alignment problems as traditional braces, from crooked teeth to dental bite issues.

You should wear your aligners at night and throughout the day, removing them only for meals and brushing and flossing. They are virtually invisible, and most people will never know that you are wearing them.

Clear aligners are available for both teenagers and adults. Average treatment times are 12 to 18 months, but everyone starts with different needs, so your treatment time may be longer or shorter. Our dentist will work with you to create your customized plan and keep you informed of your progress.

What Are the Benefits of Clear Aligners in Huntsville, AL?

When considering whether clear aligners in Huntsville are right for your smile, consider the following benefits:

Fewer Appointments

With traditional braces, you'll need to visit your dentist more frequently for wire tightening and bracket checks. When you wear clear aligners, your visits are limited.

Less Tooth Damage

If plaque builds up around your brackets, it can damage your tooth enamel. Even if you brush, floss, and take good care of your teeth, braces can still leave permanent marks.

No Food Restrictions

Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners make it possible to eat all your favorite foods. Since you remove your aligners to eat, you can have popcorn and chewy foods without worry.

Increased Comfort

Traditional braces have wires that can poke your mouth, causing discomfort and injury. Not only that, but a broken wire can mean an added visit to your Huntsville dentist.

Who Is a Candidate for Clear Aligners?

Caring for Clear Aligners

It is easy to practice good oral hygiene habits during clear aligner therapy. Remove the aligners and brush and floss your teeth as usual. Brush your aligners and rinse with warm water or use the clear aligner cleaning kit to keep your aligners in good shape and free from bacteria.

Never use hot water to rinse or clean your aligners, as it can warp the plastic. You should also call our office if you crack or damage your aligner in any other way. A cracked aligner will not correctly move your teeth and impede your progress.

You should always brush your teeth following a meal and before placing your aligners back in your mouth. If you don't brush, bacteria become trapped against your teeth, and your aligners can become stained or damaged.

Please contact our office to find out more information. We are happy to schedule a consultation appointment to find out whether clear aligners are a good option for you.
