Clear Orthodontics
We are very pleased to provide clear aligners here at Lakeland Family Dentistry in Flowood, MS.
Overview
Be proud of your smile at Lakeland Family Dentistry
Our invisible orthodontic treatments can straighten your teeth in as little as 9 months. Aligners can correct many dental problems, such as overcrowding, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and widely spaced teeth.
With 3-D computer imaging, a complete plan is provided from the current status of your teeth to your final new smile. Your dentist designs clear thermoplastic aligners, and you transition to a new set every 2–3 weeks as your teeth gradually shift into place. Evaluation is only every one or two months. Your total treatment time depends on your own correction and goals.
Advantages to Clear Aligners
Unnoticeable
There are specific advantages to wearing clear aligners. Discreetness is very important, and no one will ever know you are straightening your teeth. The aligners are only noticeable if someone looks at your teeth close up.
Comfortable
You can wear them comfortably because they are a single piece, eliminating the need for frequent checks and adjustments. Metal brackets bonded to your teeth and adjusted with wires are now a thing of the past. Headgear is also a thing of the past, and you will not have any type of mouth irritation with these advanced aligners.
Removable
You wear them all day and during sleep, but they are removable for eating and brushing and then replaced. You can eat whatever you like during your treatment time – absolutely no food restrictions!
