Achieve Your Smile Goals with Clear Aligner Therapy
Is orthodontics in your near future? Consider all that clear aligners can do! Clear aligner therapy is less intrusive than metal braces and can help you achieve your smile goals with greater comfort and ease. Dr. Osayomore Eguakun from Divine Dental Center is the person to see for clear aligners in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The answers to these questions explain more about clear aligners and how they can benefit you.
What is clear aligner therapy, and how does it work?
For most people, clear aligners make a great option for straightening crooked teeth. Metal braces are replaced with a series of aligners that are custom-made for your teeth. These aligners are worn around the clock, day and night, except for when you eat and brush your teeth. Dr. Eguakun will use 3D imaging to create a treatment plan conducive to your orthodontic needs.
What are the main benefits of clear aligners?
Clear aligners blend in with your teeth, making your treatment discreet. They’re made of smooth, plastic material that doesn’t irritate your gums or cheeks. The aligners are removable for a better fit into your normal lifestyle. There are no restrictions on what you can eat as the aligners are removed for meals. You’ll also brush and floss without aligners, enabling you to keep your pearly whites fresh and clean. Fewer dental visits, predictable results, and easy aligner care are additional benefits of clear aligner therapy.
Before and After Actual Patient Results
How long does it take for aligners to work?
Patience is key to achieving the best results with clear aligners. They’re designed to work slowly and systematically to reposition your teeth, making steady progress toward your smile goals. The average time to complete this treatment is 12 to 18 months. Consistent use of an aligner can help shorten your procedure.

Is the process painful?
The aligners aren’t painful to use. You may, however, experience some discomfort at the onset of your treatment due to the pressure the aligners place on your teeth. This same discomfort can be felt when switching to new aligners in your series. Once you adjust, the discomfort will cease.
How do I care for the aligners?
Rinse the aligners in warm water every time they’re removed to keep them clean. Brush the aligners at least once daily with mild liquid soap and rinse. Always store the aligners in a safe place when not in your mouth to avoid misplacing or accidentally damaging them. Broken or lost aligners will need to be replaced, which will delay your treatment.
What happens after my treatment is complete?
We’ll leave you with a retainer to wear, mostly at night, to keep your smile in alignment permanently. The retainer keeps your teeth from going back into their crooked position.
