Clear Aligners Colorado Springs
Clear aligners in Colorado Springs offer a discreet way to straighten teeth without traditional braces. Patients enjoy the comfort and convenience of removable aligners tailored to their smile goals. We know how exciting it can be to take that big leap towards having straighter teeth – because we’ve helped so many patients achieve those perfect smiles with clear aligners. We’ve seen a lot of clients come to our office for orthodontic treatment because they really want clear aligners, and that’s because they’re way less noticeable than metal braces.
Clear aligners work by using a set of clear plastic trays that are custom made for you, and these gently shift your teeth into position over time. You wear each set for about two weeks, before swapping them out for the next one. Treatment usually takes anywhere from six months to two years, depending on how tricky your situation is and how well you stick to the treatment plan. Teen orthodontics helps guide jaw growth and tooth alignment during crucial developmental years. Our orthodontics for teens includes braces and aligners tailored for active lifestyles. With teen orthodontics, we monitor progress closely to ensure healthy, lasting results.
One of the best things about clear aligners is that they’re almost invisible when you’re wearing them. Adults in the workforce, and teenagers who are worried about how they look, love these because most people just don’t notice you’ve got them on. We’ve had a lot of patients who were really nervous about getting braces at first because they hated the thought of the metallic look – but clear aligners really helped them feel more confident about going through with treatment.
Our patients also love that you can take these things off when you need to – so you can eat, brush your teeth or floss without any hassle. But we always tell our patients that the aligners won’t do their job if you don’t wear them for the full 22 hours a day. You’ve got to be pretty disciplined to get the best results.
At Inner Smiles Orthodontics, we’ve got the latest technology to create a treatment plan that’s just right for each patient. We take digital impressions of your teeth, which are way more comfortable than the old-fashioned molds. Then we use computer software to plan out how your teeth are going to move during treatment. Lots of our patients find it really reassuring that we can show them what their smile will look like before they even start treatment – it really gives them an idea of what to expect.
We’ve found that clear aligners are pretty good for fixing a lot of the common orthodontic problems – like crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites and crossbites. But, they’re not always the best choice for everyone. Some cases are just too complicated, so we might end up recommending something else like braces, or other orthodontic tools. We’ll take a good hard look at your teeth, and we can discuss whether clear aligners are the way to go during your consultation.
The price of clear aligner treatment depends on how long it takes, and how complicated your case is. We take most insurance plans, and we’ve got payment plans to help make treatment more affordable. Lots of people assume that their dental insurance will cover the cost, so we’ve got a list of common policies that do – it’s always a good idea to check with your own insurance provider to see what you’re covered for.
Lots of our patients in Colorado Springs like the fact that they can just carry on with their busy lives while working towards a straighter smile with clear aligners. These things are pretty flexible, so whether you’re a busy pro, a parent with a lot on your plate, or a teenager who’s got a lot going on – you can just fit them into your schedule.
