El Paso Clear Aligners
Your Clear Option for Straighter Smiles
At Gross Orthodontics, you can get your best smile without sacrificing aesthetics using our innovative clear self-aligners.
Spark, Angel, and our u-Lab in-house clear aligners use customized trays to guide your teeth into alignment without any metal brackets or wires.
Your Nearly-Invisible Treatment Option
Clear aligners have become a solution for patients of all ages because they’re transparent and unnoticeable.
When you wear clear aligners. people rarely notice that you even have them! This is what makes clear aligners a preferable treatment option for many people.
When wearing traditional metal braces, you can still feel self-conscious because they’re visible as they straighten your teeth.
With clear aligner trays, you can smile in public while undergoing treatment — you won’t have to wait until you remove them!
Benefits of Clear Aligners
Choosing clear aligners gives you several advantages, including:
Aesthetics
Clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your treatment.
Comfort
Made from smooth plastic, aligners are more comfortable than traditional braces and less likely to irritate your gums and cheeks.
Convenience
Aligners are removable, making it easy to maintain your regular oral hygiene routine and enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.
Efficiency
With options like Spark, Angel, and uLab aligners, you can expect efficient and effective treatment tailored to your specific needs.
What to Expect With Clear Aligners
You’ll wear your clear aligner trays for about 22 hours each day, only removing them when it is time to eat or when you want to brush and floss your teeth.
Due to the sustained period that you wear your aligner trays, you can expect positive results within a short period of time compared to wire braces.
Also, since you get a set of aligner trays that you change every two weeks, they work effectively in correcting your misaligned teeth. Each tray that you wear improves the alignment of your teeth.
Considerations & Care for Clear Aligners
While clear aligners offer many benefits, it’s essential to follow Dr. Gross’ instructions to ensure the best results. Here are some tips:
Wear Your Aligners as Directed
For the best results, wear your aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours per day.
Maintain Good Oral Hygiene
Brush and floss regularly to keep your teeth and aligners clean. Clean your aligners as instructed to prevent staining and bacteria buildup.
Attend All Scheduled Appointments
Regular check-ups are crucial to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
Clear Aligner Candidates
Clear aligners are suitable for a wide range of patients, from teens to adults, and can effectively treat various orthodontic issues, including:
- Crowded teeth: Aligners can help straighten teeth that are overlapping or too close together.
