Clear Aligners in Durham, NC
A beautiful, straight smile can boost confidence and improve oral health. TriPoint Dental offers cutting-edge clear aligner therapy as a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Our practice, conveniently located just one mile from SouthPoint Mall, provides personalized clear aligner treatment for Durham, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh patients who want to enhance their smiles without metal brackets and wires.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are transparent, removable orthodontic devices designed to gradually shift your teeth into alignment. Unlike traditional braces, they are almost invisible, allowing for discreet treatment. Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, these custom aligners fit snugly and apply gentle pressure to move your teeth. You'll use a series of aligners, each adjusted to continue your teeth's movement according to your personalized treatment plan.
The Clear Aligner Process
As your family dentist in Durham, we've streamlined the clear aligner process to make your journey to a straighter smile as convenient and comfortable as possible:
- Digital Scanning: Our advanced Trios digital scanner creates precise 3D images of your teeth without messy traditional impressions. This technology allows for greater accuracy in treatment planning and a more comfortable experience for you.
- Customized Treatment Plan: Based on your digital scans, we develop a personalized treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth and estimates your treatment timeline. You'll be able to preview your expected results before treatment begins.
- Custom Aligner Fabrication: Using your digital scans and treatment plan, your custom aligners are created specifically for your teeth. Each set of aligners is designed to make specific adjustments to tooth position as you progress through treatment.
- Regular Progress Monitoring: Throughout your clear aligner treatment, you'll have periodic checkups at our office so we can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal results.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer numerous advantages over traditional orthodontic methods:
- Aesthetic Appeal: Clear aligners are virtually invisible because they are transparent, allowing you to maintain a natural appearance throughout treatment.
- Removability: Unlike fixed braces, clear aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment.
- Comfort: Without metal brackets and wires, clear aligners eliminate many of the discomforts associated with traditional braces, such as mouth sores and irritation.
- Convenience: Clear aligner treatment typically requires fewer office visits than traditional braces, with checkups usually scheduled every 6-8 weeks.
- Predictability: Advanced digital planning allows for more predictable results and often shorter treatment times for many patients.
