Clear Aligners in Jacksonville, FL

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, transparent trays made of medical-grade plastic that fit snugly over your teeth to gradually and gently shift them into the correct position. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are removable and virtually invisible. Today, there are several effective types and brands of clear aligners available, offering many patients a great Invisalign alternative.

The process begins with a detailed, digital scan of your teeth to create a precise 3D model. We then develop a personalized treatment plan that maps out your teeth's exact movements, allowing you to see a preview of your future smile. You'll wear each set of custom aligners for about one to two weeks, for almost the entire day each day. As you progress through the series, your teeth will gently move into their desired positions.

Clear aligners are commonly used to fix:

• Crowded Teeth: Clear aligners can gently create space and align crowded teeth, making them easier to clean and improving your overall oral health.
• Gaps Between Teeth: Clear aligners can effectively close spaces between teeth, creating a more uniform smile and correcting any bite issues that may arise from the gaps.
• Overbites, Underbites, and Crossbites: These common bite issues can often be corrected with clear aligners, leading to improved jaw function and reduced wear and tear on your teeth.
• Open Bites: If your upper and lower teeth don't meet when your mouth is closed, clear aligners can help shift them into a position where they properly contact each other.

While clear aligners can treat a wide range of concerns, a proper assessment by an experienced dentist is essential. Our team at Northpoint Dental will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and bite to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you receive the most effective care for your smile goals.

Embarking on your clear aligner journey with Northpoint Dental is an exciting process. Here’s a general overview of what you can expect from your treatment with clear aligners:

Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation. We'll discuss your smile goals, take detailed digital scans of your mouth, and show you a preview of your new smile to determine if clear aligners are the right treatment for you.

Receiving Your Aligners: Once your custom aligners are ready, we will provide you with your first few sets. Our team will walk you through how to wear and care for them and what to expect during the initial adjustment period.

Wearing Your Aligners: For successful treatment, you must wear your aligners for at least 20-22 hours each day. You'll only need to remove them when you eat, drink anything other than water, or brush your teeth.

Progress and Check-ups: You will switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks. We'll schedule quick, regular check-ups to monitor your progress and provide you with your next set. These appointments are less frequent than with traditional braces.

The Final Result and Retention: After completing your final aligner, your treatment is complete. We'll then discuss the importance of wearing a retainer nightly to ensure your teeth don’t shift back, maintaining your beautiful new smile for years to come.
