Clear Braces Burien, WA
Looking for a solution that will quickly fix your crooked teeth? Maybe you’ve been putting off treatment because you don’t want to deal with the inconvenience of spending years in metal braces.
Comfort and Convenience
Clear braces are an orthodontic treatment that can be used by older teens and adults. They are very popular because they work quickly and are comfortable to wear.
We use clear plastic aligners to gently reposition your teeth that are virtually invisible and much gentler on your mouth than metal braces. Another advantage of clear braces is that you can remove the aligners to eat, so you don’t have to give up your favorite foods during treatment. Since the aligners are removable, it's also easier to practice proper oral hygiene.
How Clear Braces Works
Your clear braces are created using state-of-the-art 3-D computer imaging technology. You will be able to see for yourself how your smile will be transformed when your treatment is finished.
Once Dr. Sessions plans your treatment, we will provide you with a set of custom aligners. You wear each for about two weeks and then move to the next set in the series. As you go through treatment, you’ll actually be able to see your teeth move into their correct position.
We’ll make appointments to see you about once every six weeks so we can check on your progress. Treatment usually takes about a year for adults, and treatment time for teens is about the same as with traditional braces.
Many patients appreciate the fact that they continually see and feel progress throughout treatment. At first, your new aligners will feel a little snug, but they will gradually get more comfortable. That’s how the system works; each set of aligners is designed to gently move your teeth into their proper position as treatment progresses. Every time you advance to the next set of aligners, you will be able to see and feel the difference as your teeth become straighter!
