What Are Clear Aligners and How Do They Work?
At Boss Orthodontics, we offer cutting-edge clear aligner therapy, which allows you to achieve your ideal smile gently and discreetly. As you swap one set of aligners for the next, the teeth will gradually move into alignment. You must wear the aligners for a minimum of 22 hours each day, and only remove them to brush and floss, or to eat. For the right person, aligners allow you to achieve your BOSS Smile without anyone having to know!
Hybrid Treatment
For many adults and teens who desire quick and discreet orthodontics, hybrid treatment is ideal. It combines the best attributes of self-ligating braces and clear aligners. This involves using self-ligating braces for up to six months to rapidly unravel crowding, broaden the arch, improve smile arc, and do most of the heavy lifting. After the self-ligating braces work their magic, braces are removed, and we do the fine-tuning with our clear aligners. Hybrid treatment allows us to correct your teeth much faster than with just aligners alone.
Aligner Treatment Overview
1. Consultation and Assessment
The journey begins with a consultation at Boss Orthodontics. Here, we will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign®/Clear Aligner treatment is suitable for you. We will review your medical and dental history, take 3D X-rays, photographs, and 3D scans of your teeth to create a comprehensive treatment plan.
2. Custom Treatment Plan
Using our advanced 3D technology, we will create a personalized clear aligner treatment plan for you. We divide the movement into stages so that each subsequent aligner is moving your teeth towards our end goal. We then submit your aligners for manufacturing. Typically the aligners will arrive in the office within 2 weeks. If we need them faster, we can elect to print some of the first aligners in house and order the remaining ones in the plan.
3. Receiving Your Aligners
When your aligners arrive in the office, we will call to schedule your delivery appointment. You’ll receive your first box of aligners including multiple stages of aligners with instructions on how to wear and care for them and the frequency to move onto the next set. Typically aligners are worn for 2 weeks each. At this visit we will also deliver your attachments, these are tooth colored bumps that are placed on the teeth. They help the clear plastic of the aligners grip the smooth slippery tooth surfaces in order to move them in the right direction.
4. Wearing Your Aligners
For optimal results, you’ll need to wear your aligners for 20–22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Cleaning your teeth before reinserting your aligners is crucial to prevent bacteria buildup.
5. Regular Check-ups
Regular visits to Boss Orthodontics will ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. We may make adjustments as needed to your plan and provide additional series of aligners until you reach your smile goals.
6. Final Stages and Retainers
Once we have achieved your smile goals, we will remove the aligner attachments and take final records including a 3D scan of your teeth. To preserve your results, you’ll need to wear a retainer, which prevents teeth from shifting back. Your orthodontist will guide you on how to wear it effectively.
The In-Office Aligner Advantage
We offer the latest 3D technology for our patients' aligner treatment. This technology allows us the advantage of being able to order your aligners traditionally using an outside lab or print those same aligners in-office using our 3D printer and aligner fabrication machinery. This means you’ll be on your way to your BOSS Smile much sooner- no waiting for the back and forth process with typical outside labs, manufacturing, and shipping delays.
How does this benefit you? In most orthodontic offices, it typically takes 4-6 weeks to get your clear aligners back from the lab to get started with treatment. Our aligners typically arrive in just 2-3 weeks. However, with our high-tech software and equipment, we can get started much faster if they want to (sometimes in just days). We upload the 3D scan of your teeth into our virtual software and we plan out your tooth and bite movements in every aligner. This technology is truly a game changer.
