Redefining Your Smile With Clear Aligners Near Avondale, Chicago, IL

During the initial consultation, our orthodontist will examine your teeth and bite and if clear aligners are deemed suitable, we will take digital impressions to create a 3D model of your teeth, which helps in planning the movement of your teeth throughout your treatment. Based on this 3D model, a series of custom aligners will be made that will gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.

The duration of your treatment depends on the severity of your case. If you have minor crowding or small gaps, it may only require seven aligners and the treatment can be completed in as little as seven weeks. People who previously wore braces but didn’t use retainers often just need minor corrections, which can be done relatively quickly.

However, severe crowding may require 20 to 50 aligners. Our orthodontist will evaluate your situation, discuss different options available to address your concerns, and provide an estimate of the number of aligners needed to correct crowding or spacing issues.

Clear aligners are a modern alternative to traditional braces. Instead of metal hardware and wires, they are made of clear plastic trays and easily slide onto your teeth. These aligners fit comfortably and apply gentle pressure to gradually shift your teeth into their correct positions. Unlike regular braces, which can take years, clear aligners typically achieve the desired results within a few months.

Our clear aligners are comfortable, free from metal or sharp edges that may cause irritation in your mouth. Most patients find it easy to adjust to the aligners, experiencing minimal or no issues. The aligners fit securely over your teeth, gently guiding them towards their desired positions.

This advanced orthodontic treatment has made significant progress in addressing various orthodontic problems, such as:

• Overbite – When the upper teeth extend over the lower teeth.
• Underbite – The opposite of an overbite, where the lower teeth overlap the upper teeth.
• Overcrowding – When there is insufficient space in the mouth for the teeth to align properly.
• Gaps between teeth – Clear aligners can close gaps resulting from missing teeth, misalignment, or abnormal jaw growth.
• Crossbite – When one or more upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth.

The cost of clear aligner treatment is comparable to the cost of traditional braces. The average price range of aligner treatment ranges between $4,000 to $7,000. However, as each case is different, your orthodontists will be able to give you an accurate cost. Aligner treatment near Avondale starts at $2,880 with Aligner Experts.”
