Aligner therapy is an innovative orthodontic treatment method that provides patients with a virtually invisible way to straighten their teeth. A series of custom-made, clear, removable aligners are used for each patient’s needs. These custom-fit aligners gradually move your teeth into position as you wear them and can be removed while eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
SoulSmile Orthodontics is committed to providing our patients with the most advanced orthodontic treatment options available which is why we offer both Candid and Invisalign clear aligner therapy in our practice. We strive to provide our patients with the best treatment possible and results that are both pleasant and aesthetically pleasing.
We understand that everyone’s orthodontic needs are unique, and that is why aligner therapy treatment provides our patients with a range of benefits that traditional braces cannot. Some of the most significant benefits include the following:
Esthetic – Virtually invisible.
Comfort – They are made from smooth, comfortable material and are designed to fit your teeth perfectly.
Candid aligners are a newer alternative to Invisalign. They are a series of clear, removable aligners made from a smooth plastic material that gradually move your teeth into the desired position as you wear them. The process is much the same as Invisalign, you must replace the aligners every couple of weeks and wear them for at least 22 hours daily. Like Invisalign, Candid aligners can be used for both adults and teens.
One of the major differences between Invisalign and Candid aligners is that with Candid aligners the need for use of attachments (tiny bums on your teeth) is completely eliminated or significantly reduced. However, both methods are effective and comfortable orthodontic treatments. SoulSmile Orthodontics is proud to offer both to provide more treatment options for our patients.
Invisalign is a brand of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten teeth. The aligners are made of a flexible material called SmartTrack, and are designed to be less noticeable than traditional braces. Invisalign treatment involves wearing the aligners 20–22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, brush, and floss
The classic and trusted treatment method of traditional braces with twin brackets has been around for some time and with good reason. It has proven both effective and safe without breaking the budget..
Clear ceramic brackets are a popular choice as they are barely visible and offer an aesthetic appeal that can give you the confidence to show off your smile.
As technology has advanced, so has the traditional braces system. Self-ligating brackets are made from the same materials as traditional braces, but they differ in how each component works together to move teeth into place. The key to self-ligating braces is that there is no need for elastic ties that attach to the brackets and hold the wire in place. Instead, these brackets use an integrated clip system to place them more quickly and efficiently than traditional braces.
No matter your case and which type of braces you choose, we are here to assist you in achieving the smile you’ve always desired. If you or your child are considering braces, please contact us with any questions.
A consultation in our practice is a thorough and comfortable experience. We will evaluate your child’s teeth, facial structure, and any existing dental issues to create the best effective treatment plan for success. After that, X-rays are performed to see whether any underlying pathology could interfere with the treatment.
Following the consultation, we will discuss the best course of treatment that is specific to each patient’s needs. Our braces are designed to be comfortable, provide maximum accuracy and effectiveness and minimize the amount of disruption to normal activities. We will evaluate their progress and make modifications as needed during treatment and also train patients on how to properly care for their braces and what they may do to improve results and reduce discomfort. Our goal is to provide each patient with a beautiful, healthy and confident smile in the most effective and efficient way possible.
