Achieve a Straight Smile With Clear Aligner Therapy in Oakmont, PA

Clear aligner therapy in Oakmont, PA offers a way for you to straighten your teeth with practically no impact on your professional or social life. Since they are made of clear, BPA-free plastic, aligners won’t stand out in your smile. They are removable, so you won’t worry about food getting caught in them on a date or slurring your words during a presentation at work. Compared to braces, clear aligners are:

  • Comfortable – Without wires, there’s less chance of irritating soft tissues in your mouth.
  • Convenient – You can take them out for eating and oral hygiene, so it’s easier to keep your teeth clean.
  • Quick – The teeth aligners we use are designed for minor movement of front teeth rather than more complex orthodontic cases, so you can complete treatment in as few as three months.

To visit our office, call 412-206-6825. See if clear aligners are the right short-term orthodontics for your smile!

Enjoy a Simple Alternative to Metal Braces

We use SureSmile® clear aligners, and you will love how they straighten your smile so much faster than braces. They can be used to straighten upper teeth, lower teeth, or both.

SureSmile aligners allow your doctor to carefully plan your entire treatment using digital images. Aligners work well to correct cosmetic dental problems like spacing, crowding, and tipping. They may not be effective for more complicated orthodontics issues.

Our dentists will send impressions of your teeth and other information to a lab where your custom aligners are produced. While you wait, they can use a special outcome simulator to show you how great your new smile will look. When the clear aligners arrive:

  • We’ll ensure the first set fits well and that you understand the treatment process.
  • You’ll wear each aligner set for a short time before moving to the next one in the series.
  • You’ll visit our office for periodic checkups so we can make sure your orthodontic treatment is on track.
  • That’s it! Unlike braces, you won’t need any adjustments.

Common Questions About Clear Aligner Therapy
Who does clear aligner therapy work for?

Clear aligner therapy can address many of the same issues as conventional braces. However, not everyone is a candidate for this orthodontic treatment, if the severity of the problems requires a more involved solution. That said, you will never know the best way forward until you schedule a consultation appointment with us.

Are clear aligners visible?

Barely. Unlike classic braces made of stark metal brackets and wires, these modern orthodontic aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable, clear plastic that is virtually invisible. This means you won’t draw any unwanted attention to the construction zone in your mouth, and there won’t be any awkward questions or stares from onlookers during your months of treatment.

How does clear aligner therapy work?

Unlike traditional braces that use metal brackets, bands, and wires, this alternative uses clear plastic teeth aligners to straighten your teeth. You simply slide the aligners over your teeth and wear them for at least 20-22 hours a day. You can freely remove your aligners for eating, brushing, or a special occasion, so long as you put them back in when you’re done.
