Interested in Clear Aligners Near You?


Teeth that are crooked, misaligned, or have gaps, can make you self-conscious when it comes to your smile. While braces are the traditional method of straightening your teeth, there may be many factors preventing you from seeking this orthodontic treatment option. Maybe you do not want others to know you are straightening your teeth, or you do not want to deal with the discomfort or restrictions that come with braces. Luckily for you, clear aligners are an option to straighten your teeth without the hassle! If you are looking for clear aligners near you, Totally Orthodontics offers clear aligners in NE Calgary. 

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners, otherwise known as Invisalign, offer a solution to straighten your teeth using customized, clear trays. Instead of metal brackets and wires, removable aligners will be worn for twenty-two hours every day to straighten your teeth. They are just as effective as traditional braces! Clear aligners can be used to treat: 

  • Crooked teeth
  • Bite problems (underbite, overbite, crossbite)
  • Close gaps in your teeth
  • Minor teeth crowding 

If you have a concern and want to know if clear aligners are the correct solution for you, contact our orthodontist in NE Calgary for a consultation. 

Why Choose Clear Aligners?

Choosing to get your teeth straightened can lead to many things, including increased confidence, improved oral health, and satisfaction with your smile. Straightening your teeth can improve how you speak and chew as well. There are many benefits to choosing clear aligners near you for your teeth concerns, which include:

  • They are invisible: Since the aligners are clear, they are barely noticeable, so no one will know you are fixing your teeth. 
  • They are removable: With removable aligners, you can brush, eat, and floss how you usually do without restrictions. Yes, you can still enjoy caramel candies and chew gum!
  • Less dental visits: Instead of visiting every couple of weeks to get your wires tightened, you will receive a set of custom aligners for a set period during your treatment. They will be replaced as needed. 
  • They are comfortable: There will be no discomfort, scratching from broken brackets or wires. 
  • It can be relatively quick: Some people see results in just a year! With advanced technology, we can give estimates of your treatment time and provide a sneak peak of your results.

How to Take Care of Your Aligners

While clear aligners are removable, they still need attention and care to be in pristine shape. Follow these tips to keep your aligners in the best condition possible:

  • Rinse them each time you remove them to ensure they are bacteria and food particle free.
  • Keep your teeth clean by practicing good oral hygiene.
  • Soak your aligners when you are not wearing them.
  • Clean your aligners with a clear, bacteria-free soap. 
  • Be careful and gentle when brushing your aligners, do not be too rough as they can scratch. 
  • Do not eat or drink anything that can stain your teeth when wearing your aligners.
  • Do not use toothpaste on your aligners.
  • Do not use any colored soap that can stain your aligners. 
  • Bring your case with you to have a safe and clean place to store your aligners when you are not wearing them.
  • Keep an extra set on you in case you happen to lose your aligners.

All you need to know about overbites and fixing them with braces

Image
An overbite occurs when the upper teeth protrude over the lower teeth mostly because of an underdeveloped upper or lower jaw. The medical term for overbites is malocclusion. Many a time, an overbite may emerge as crooked teeth, but in reality, the individual’s teeth are not in line with their jaw. Overbites can be hereditary in many cases but can also be a repercussion of habits such as excessive use of pacifiers or thumb sucking during childhood. Overbites can affect an individual’s eating habits, ability to swallow, and speech patterns. There are two types of overbites : Vertical Overbite: In this case, the upper teeth predominantly overlap the lower teeth.  Horizontal Overbite: In this case, the upper teeth bulge or protrude over the lower teeth.   Dental procedures and treatments can either reduce or fully repair the overbite. The application of braces to correct overbites is a viable solution. Visit a orthodontist in Northeast Calgary today for a consultation.   How do
