Clear Aligner Therapy in East Vancouver

Clear Aligner Therapy

Are you concerned about misaligned teeth? Do misaligned teeth affect your confidence when you smile? If you suffer from crooked teeth, talk to your dentist about whether you’re a candidate for clear aligner therapy. This orthodontic treatment is effective and comfortable, with improvements visible within six months.

Am I a Candidate for Clear Aligner Therapy?

Clear aligner therapy is a suitable treatment for crooked teeth, crowded teeth, underbite, overbite, and crossbite. Your dentist will assess if this treatment is right for you by performing an assessment of your teeth and taking scans. Clear aligner therapy is suitable for both adults and children and is a popular alternative to traditional metal braces that are fitted on the teeth. 

How Does Clear Aligner Therapy Work?

Clear aligners sit on top of the teeth and are designed to gently push the teeth into alignment.  Your dentist will take scans of your teeth and send them to the dental lab to create multiple sets of aligners. Each aligner tray is shaped a little differently and designed to slowly bring your teeth into alignment. It is recommended that you wear your trays for at least 22 hours a day to experience the optimal straightening effects of this treatment.
