Move over, crooked teeth.
We are proud to be one of Colorado’s leading aligner providers.
Why aligner treatment?
- Faster treatment: With weekly aligner changes, you’re on your way to the smile you want even faster. Depending on your response to treatment, particularly in mature adults, we may consider longer periods between aligner changes.
- Better fit: Aligners made from SmartTrack material are comfortable, fit well, and are easy to put on and take off.
- Effective: Clear aligners can treat a wide range of teeth-straightening conditions, including crossbites, crowding, open bites, gapped teeth, overbites, and underbites.
- Virtually invisible: Most people won’t even know you’re going through treatment, because aligners are virtually invisible!
- Comfortable: Clear aligner trays are not only smooth and comfortable to wear, but they’re also removable. That means you can continue doing all the things you normally would, from brushing and flossing to eating whatever you like.
- Convenient: Aligner treatment is ideal for your busy schedule, since you only need to visit our office every six weeks.
- Virtual Appointments: Dental Monitoring will allow you to scan your teeth at home for weekly virtual appointments. We can keep a closer look at your progress without you having to come into the office as often.
The Aligner Treatment Process
Your First Consultation
At your initial consultation, we will discuss your orthodontic needs and evaluate whether aligner treatment is right for you.
Your Custom Treatment Plan
We will use our iTero® digital scanning system to create fast, precise 3D digital images of your teeth. Then, Dr. Kohrs will craft a precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth and how long your treatment will be. You’ll even get to see how your teeth will move and preview your new smile.
Your Clear Aligners
Your custom-made aligners are virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them during your teeth straightening.
Wear your clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results, and take them out only to eat, brush, and floss.
Your Progress
As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place. We may recommend that you begin wearing a new set of aligners every week and schedule checkups every six weeks or so.
Taking Care of Your New Smile
When your treatment is complete, you will be provided with a set of clear retainers to wear at night.
To learn more about aligners and all your orthodontic treatment options, please feel free to schedule an appointment at our office. We look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve a smile that’s made to move!
