Frequently Asked Questions

How do clear aligners work?

Clear aligners are a modern, aesthetically pleasing way to straighten teeth without traditional metal braces. At North Shore Dental Practice, we're excited to offer this innovative treatment to our patients.

The process begins with thoroughly examining your teeth, including 3-D scans or impressions. Using this information, we create a series of custom-made, transparent plastic aligners that fit snugly over your teeth.

Each set of aligners is designed to gently shift your teeth into a slightly different position. You'll wear each set for about a couple weeks before moving on to the next in the series. Over time, these minor adjustments add up to create your desired smile.

The Advantages of Clear Aligners

One of the great benefits of clear aligners is their removability. You can take them out for eating, drinking, and cleaning your teeth. However, for the best results, wearing them for 20-22 hours each day is essential.

Throughout your treatment, you'll have regular check-ups with us. These check-ups are not just to monitor your progress and provide you with your next sets of aligners, but also to ensure that you are comfortable and confident in your journey to a straighter smile.

The total treatment time varies for each individual but typically ranges from six to 18 months.

Panoramic x-rays are quick, comfortable and emit less radiation than traditional dental x-rays. They're invaluable for detecting issues like impacted wisdom teeth, jaw disorders and even some sinus problems. This broader view aids in thorough diagnosis and efficient treatment planning for our patients.
