Are you noticing a slight shift in your teeth after forgetting to wear your retainer for a little while? You’re not alone. Many adults feel hesitant to return to the orthodontist after experiencing minor relapse, especially if they’ve had braces before. The good news? At Boss Orthodontics, serving Bee Cave, Kyle, and Austin, TX, we offer in-house clear aligners to address minimal tooth movement without the need for metal braces. Whether you’re searching for affordable Invisalign, clear aligners near me, or a cost-effective solution for teeth alignment, we’re here to help!
What are In-House Aligners?
In-house aligners at Boss Orthodontics move teeth the same way as outsourced lab-made aligners, like Invisalign, U-Lab, Clear Correct, Suresmile, and many others, but are made right in our office. At Boss Orthodontics we have the latest technology and have a 3D dental printer printer and custom aligner fabrication machines. See this video on how the process works.
In-House Aligner Process:
- Free Consultation. Much like Invisalign treatment, we’ll start by scanning your teeth using our 3D intra-oral scanner. This painless process creates a 3D digital model of your teeth with no traditional goopy impressions. Our orthodontic consultations are complimentary and we can evaluate to see if minor tooth movement or limited treatment can get your teeth straight and bite improved.
- 3D Aligner Treatment Planning Software. Dr Boss will digitally moves your teeth within the aligner software and sequence the movement into aligners sets.
- 3D Printing. We then print the Aligner models using state-of-the-art technology (3D Dental Printer – Sprint Ray),using the planned movements and staged the sequence of tooth changes,
- Very Quick Turnaround. The huge advantage of in-house clear aligners is that we can have your first aligner to you sometimes within the same day or following day if we are in a crunch. Most cases we will have ready the following week, allowing you to start your journey to a perfect smile sooner. These aligners will apply gradual force to guide your teeth into the desired position.
- Effective Treatment. When worn for at least 22 hours a day, in-house aligners are just as effective as braces or Invisalign at correcting alignment of the teeth.
Save Time with In-House Aligners
In-house aligners and limited treatment complement each other perfectly. Instead of being stuck with a set number of aligners from a manufacturer, we print the exact number needed to straighten your teeth. This differs from utilizing a third-party lab, which can dictate using a certain package/number of aligners and a substantial lab fee.This ability to make the necessary number of aligners instead of purchasing a fixed amount from a third party makes us more cost-efficient, allowing us to offer very affordable limited aligner treatment plans. Limited aligners are great for individuals who have minor tooth movement needs or stopped wearing their retainer and had their teeth shift. This not only reduces costs, but also accelerates the production process, ensuring you can start treatment quickly and affordably.
