Many patients believe that Invisalign is the only option for orthodontic treatment with clear aligners. This is, in fact, not true. Our orthodontists in Los Angeles offer Clear Correct braces as an effective alternative. Clear Correct uses see-through aligners that fit perfectly and comfortably around the arches. Here is how these trays are made.
Our expert in Clear Correct braces will begin by taking impressions of your teeth. This is to create trays that are custom designed for you and your teeth. These impressions are used to generate 3D images, which will demonstrate what the progression of the teeth should go like. This will give you an idea of what your final smile will look like and what you are aiming towards.
The impressions will then be sent to a lab, where your custom trays will be made from a plastic-like material. Each one will be slightly different, applying more pressure on the teeth in order to move them into their correct, healthier spaces. The trays should be worn about twenty-two hours a day in order for the pressure applied to be effective.
