Straighten Your Smile the Clear Way: Why Choose Clear Aligner Therapy at Topsail Dental

A beautiful, confident smile doesn’t have to come with metal brackets and wires. Clear aligner therapy offers a modern, comfortable, and nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth and at Topsail Dental, we’re proud to bring this advanced solution to our patients.

Let’s take a look at how clear aligners work, what they can treat, and why Topsail Dental is the perfect place to start your journey to a straighter, healthier smile.

What Is Clear Aligner Therapy?

Clear aligner therapy uses a series of custom-made, transparent trays to gently move your teeth into their ideal position. Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are virtually invisible, comfortable to wear, and removable making it easier to eat, brush, and floss as usual.

You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next in the series. Over time, your teeth shift gradually into alignment, with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

How the Process Works

Clear aligner therapy involves a few key steps to ensure a smooth and effective process:

1. Consultation & 3D Scanning Your journey starts with a detailed consultation at Topsail Dental. Using digital 3D scans, we evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and design a personalized treatment plan. You’ll even get to preview your future smile!

2. Custom Aligner Creation Your digital scans are sent to the lab, where your custom aligners are crafted from smooth, durable, clear plastic designed to fit snugly and comfortably over your teeth.

3. Wearing Your Aligners You’ll wear your aligners 20-22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, or floss. This consistent wear time is crucial for the aligners to work effectively.  Their removable design means you can enjoy all your favorite foods without restriction.

4. Progress Checkups Every 6-8 weeks, you’ll visit us for a quick progress check to ensure your teeth are moving as planned. During these visits, we may take new scans or photos to assess your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

5. Maintaining Your New Smile Once treatment is complete, we’ll fit you with a custom retainer to keep your smile beautifully aligned for years to come.
