Achieve a Straighter, Healthier Smile with Clear Aligner Orthodontics

If you are looking for a convenient, discreet, and faster way to align your smile in Longmont, Colorado, clear aligners are ideal for you. Crossroads Dental uses state-of-the-art ClearCorrect and Clear Express orthodontics to fix almost all bite and teeth alignment issues without disrupting your everyday life. Made from see-through, custom-made trays, clear aligners are virtually invisible, perfecting your smile without drawing unnecessary attention. 

Dental problems we can resolve with clear aligner therapy

Straighter teeth aren’t only beautiful but promote good oral health by improving your oral hygiene and preventing issues like bruxism and TMJ disorder. Fortunately, you can align your smile to achieve a straight, functional smile without conspicuous metal braces. 

Dr. Amy Farmer will recommend Clear Express for minor orthodontic issues or relapsed teeth after orthodontic treatment. We use ClearCorrect to address mild to moderate issues like:

  • Misaligned or crooked teeth
  • Gapped teeth
  • Overcrowding
  • Bite issues, including open bite, crossbite, underbite, etc.

What to expect from clear aligner treatment

Whether you want to perfect your smile with Clear Express or ClearCorrect, the first step is a consultation with Dr. Farmer. We’ll use digital X-rays and 3D scanning to evaluate your oral health, bite, and teeth to establish your eligibility for the treatment. We also use your digital records to create a personalized treatment plan, predicting when and how each tooth will move to the desired position.

Next, we’ll send your digital scans to a dental lab to create personalized aligners. When your aligners are ready, you’ll pick them up from our office as we direct you on how to wear them for optimal results. 

Typically, clear aligners are worn in progression. You’ll wear a series of aligners, each slightly different from the last, incrementally moving your teeth into the intended position. This gradual progression allows for precise and controlled movement of the teeth, resulting in predictable results.

While clear aligners are removable, you should wear them 20-22 hours daily for the best results. Only remove your aligners when eating and brushing your teeth, meaning you should sleep with your aligners on. This shouldn’t worry you because your custom-fitted aligners fit snugly over your teeth for optimal comfort—you’ll barely realize you have them on when catching some Zzzs.
