Clear Aligners by Dandy Lab

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are transparent, removable trays designed to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is custom-made based on your unique dental structure and treatment plan. Aligners are generally more comfortable than braces because the plastic is smoother than metal or porcelain.

The Process:

1. Consultation and Digital Scan: We’ll evaluate your smile and determine if you are a good candidate for clear aligners. We then take a 3D digital scan of your teeth using advanced imaging technology. This scan is sent to a specialized team at Dandy Lab. The trays are planned by experienced ortho designers and dentists with review from orthodontists to create your personalized treatment.

2. Custom Aligners Created: A series of aligners is fabricated, each designed to move your teeth incrementally. You’ll receive multiple trays to switch out every 1-2 weeks.

3. Wearing Aligners: Wear your aligners for 20-22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

4. Regular Check-Ups: Periodic visits with us will be scheduled to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned, and assess if any refinements are needed.

5. Final Results: Once treatment is complete, you’ll receive retainers to maintain your new smile.
