Clear Aligner Treatment
At Swihart Orthodontics, Clear Aligner Treatment provides a discreet, comfortable way to straighten teeth without brackets or wires, guided by Dr. Corrie Swihart, an ABO-certified orthodontist trusted by patients across Newport News and Gloucester.
Let’s take a closer look at what clear aligners are, how they work, and whether they’re the right choice for you or your child.
What Is Clear Aligner Treatment and How Does It Work?
Clear aligners use a series of custom-made trays that gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. Each set is worn for a specific period before switching to the next, helping your teeth shift step by step. Because aligners are removable, you can eat, drink, brush, and floss with ease and no dietary restrictions or special tools required.
How Long Does Clear Aligner Treatment Take?
Treatment time varies for every patient. Some cases take just a few months, while others can take longer depending on alignment complexity and consistency. The key to success is wearing your aligners for about 22 hours a day and following the plan Dr. Swihart designs for you. At your consultation, she’ll give you a clear timeline based on your specific goals, case and lifestyle.
Is Clear Aligner Treatment Right for Everyone?
Clear aligners can be an excellent choice for kids, teens, and adults, but they’re not the best option for every smile. Aligners require daily commitment and responsibility, so consistency is essential. Dr. Swihart and her team will carefully evaluate your bite, alignment, treatment goals, and lifestyle to determine if clear aligners or braces are the best treatment for you or your child.
