Clear Braces Burien, WA

standing woman with bright, straight smile I 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.

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!

Traditional Orthodontics in Burien, WA

Many adults who want a straighter smile can benefit from treatment with clear aligners. But in some cases, traditional bracket and wire braces are the best solution to help you achieve your smile goals. Dr. Sessions is a member of the Academy of GP Orthodontics and will help you decide which is the right treatment for you.

Convenient, Personalized Care

Our goal is to provide you with personalized care that takes your oral health, lifestyle, and budget into account. We encourage you to be a part of the process because we want you to be in control of decisions about your treatment. Our dental team will take all the time you need to talk to you about your goals so that you’re thrilled with the results.

A wide number of dental insurance plans cover the cost of clear braces just as they would other orthodontic treatments. We know that it can be frustrating to try to figure out your coverage, so we will be happy to get the information you need so you can get the most out of your benefits.

We want you to know exactly what costs you’re responsible for so that there are no surprises after treatment. We are in-network with most major insurances, but we're happy to file all claims on your behalf. If you don’t have insurance, please ask us about CareCredit interest-free financing.

Our accommodating hours make it easy to schedule appointments that fit your family’s busy schedule. Our dental office is open every Saturday so you don’t have to take time out of the school or work week to receive dental care.

If you are interested in learning if treatment with clear braces the right choice for you, please call Burien Dental Clinic to arrange a commitment-free consultation.

"I am a third-generation dentist, and I remember spending time in my grandfather’s office when I was only five or six years old. My uncle became my dentist when my grandfather retired, and I got to pick his brain about the profession and really grew to love it.
I studied hard for a lot of years, and now I’m so happy and excited that I did. For me, dentistry is the best job in the world. I love the people I work with, and I get to fix problems to make ...

How can I benefit from clear braces?

So your teeth are healthy and strong, and your smile is polished and white—but you're still not happy when you look in the mirror. Crowded, crooked, or protruding teeth can affect the way you look and may not be attractive. If you're considering having your teeth straightened but worry about dealing with bulky, uncomfortable, metal braces; clear braces may be the solution you are looking for.

Clear braces are surprisingly comfortable and more efficient than traditional metal braces. Not only can you reduce the treatment time by months, no one will be able to tell that you are in the process of straightening your teeth unless they look closely.

Clear Aligners in Burien, WA

Most people know someone who sported metal braces; they inevitably complained about food getting stuck in metal brackets, or the frequent dental visits that resulted in a painful tightening of braces, or worse, the pain and tenderness.

Clear braces are composed of soft plastic, so you will never have cut cheeks or gums. You'll never have to worry about your lunch sticking to your braces since you remove your clear aligners before every meal and brush your teeth before popping them back in. Dr. Blake Sessions will supply you with your personal set of custom aligners that you wear for two weeks before moving on to the next set. You'll be able to see the process as your teeth straighten visually.

Instead of seeing Dr. Sessions every two weeks when wearing traditional braces, with clear braces, you'll only have to go once every six weeks. The entire process takes about a year for adults, which is more time-efficient than metal braces. Clear braces benefit you with gentle teeth positioning, virtually invisible orthodontics, and no change to your lifestyle and eating habits. Clear braces are hygienic, easy to wear, and save you time.
