What are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position over time. Unlike metal braces that use wires and brackets, clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a discreet choice for adults and teenagers who want to improve their smile without drawing unwanted attention.
At Lowry Advanced Dentistry in Denver, CO, Dr. Michael Hoagburg uses advanced 3D imaging technology to create a precise treatment plan and craft each set of clear aligners to fit your unique smile. These clear, plastic trays are designed to be worn 20 to 22 hours per day, with the ability to remove them for eating, brushing, and flossing.
How do Clear Aligners Straighten Teeth?
The process of straightening your teeth with clear aligners from Lowry Advanced Dentistry in Denver, CO is quite simple. Dr. Michael Hoagburg will first conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health and create a custom treatment plan based on your specific needs and desired outcome.
Using advanced 3D imaging technology, Dr. Hoagburg will then design a series of clear, custom aligners that will gradually shift your teeth into the optimal position. Each set of removable aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next in the series, gradually moving your teeth little by little until you achieve your dream smile.
Unlike traditional metal braces that use tension from wires and brackets to straighten teeth, clear aligners use gentle, controlled force to shift your teeth. This makes the process more comfortable and less disruptive to your daily life.

It’s important to note that not everyone is a candidate for clear aligners. Patients with more complex orthodontic issues may require traditional braces or other specialized treatments.
