If you want to straighten your teeth without metal brackets or wires, clear aligners are worth looking into. They’re removable, low profile, and work for a wide range of alignment issues in both teens and adults.
At Superior Orthodontics, we offer Clear Aligners at our Eastpointe and Southfield offices. We’ll look at your teeth, tell you if you’re a good candidate, and go over exactly what treatment would cost before you decide anything.
Clear aligners are a practical alternative to metal braces. Instead of brackets and wires, you wear a series of custom-fit plastic trays that gradually shift your teeth into place. They fit snugly over your teeth and are nearly invisible when worn.
One of the biggest advantages is that they’re removable. You take them out to eat, brush, and floss like normal. That said, they do need to be worn consistently to work, typically 20 to 22 hours a day. Taking them out too often will slow down your progress.
Reasons adults and teens choose clear aligners:
Clear aligners work well for a wide range of cases, but they’re not the right fit for everyone. At your free exam we’ll let you know honestly whether clear aligners are a good option for your situation, or whether braces would get you better results.
Clear aligners work on the same basic principle as braces. They apply steady, gentle pressure to your teeth to move them gradually into the right position. The difference is the material and the process.
Here’s how it works:
A note for parents of teens: Clear aligners for teens include built-in compliance indicators that fade with wear. This makes it easy to tell whether the trays are being worn as directed, which is important since treatment only works if the aligners are in consistently.
Clear aligners aren’t the right fit for every case. At your free exam we’ll tell you honestly whether this is a good option or whether braces would work better for your situation.
Clear aligners are a practical option at any age. Whether you’re a parent looking into options for your teen or an adult who wants to straighten your teeth without metal braces, clear aligners are worth considering.
For Teens
The teen years are one of the most common times to start orthodontic treatment, and clear aligners are a popular choice for teens who want something less visible than metal braces.
A few things to know:
For Adults
Patient adults put off orthodontic treatment because they don’t want to deal with visible metal braces. Clear aligners are a low-profile option that fits into everyday life. You can take them out for meals and brush normally, which makes the day-to-day manageable.
Clear aligners work for a wide range of cases but not every situation. At your free exam we’ll tell you honestly whether you’re a good candidate.
Clear aligner costs vary depending on your case. Factors like how long treatment takes and how much movement is needed will affect the overall price. The best way to get an accurate number is to come in for a free exam so we can look at your specific situation.
What we can tell you upfront is that we work hard to make treatment affordable and accessible regardless of your budget.
Ways we help make clear aligners more accessible:
At your free exam we’ll go over exactly what treatment would cost for your case and walk you through your payment options. No pressure, no surprises.
If you’ve been searching for Invisalign in the Eastpointe or Southfield area, it’s worth knowing that Invisalign isn’t the only clear aligner option available. There are other brands that work on the same principle and deliver comparable results, often at a more affordable price point.
At Superior Orthodontics, we offer Angel Aligners, a clear aligner system that uses the same custom tray approach to gradually shift your teeth into place. The process is straightforward, the results are comparable, and the cost is accessible.
Why consider Angel Aligners over Invisalign:
If you’ve been put off by the cost of Invisalign, Angel Aligners are a practical alternative that’s worth looking into. Come in for a free exam at our Eastpointe or Southfield office and we’ll go over whether you’re a good candidate.
Finding out whether clear aligners are right for you is simple and free. At your free exam we’ll evaluate your teeth, go over your options, and give you a clear cost breakdown before you decide anything.
No pressure, no surprises. Just a straightforward conversation about what treatment looks like for your situation.
