Treatment
Clear Aligners
Clear, removable aligners that straighten your teeth quietly, with no metal brackets or wires.
Clear aligners are a series of thin, see through trays that fit over your teeth. You wear each set for a couple of weeks, and your teeth shift a little at a time.
We start with a digital scan from our Primescan, so there is no putty tray. We map out each step, and you switch to a new aligner on schedule until your teeth reach their finished spots.
Because the trays come out, you brush, floss, and eat the way you normally would. Most people barely notice you are wearing them, which makes treatment easy to live with at work or school.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about clear aligners.
Teens and adults in Saline with crowding, gaps, or a bite that bothers them are good candidates for clear aligners at Powell and Udrys.
After a digital Primescan, you wear a series of clear aligner trays, switching to a new set on schedule as your teeth shift.
Most clear aligner cases finish in 6 to 18 months, depending on how far your teeth need to move.
Clear aligners only work when you wear them 20 to 22 hours a day, and Powell and Udrys fits a retainer afterward to hold the result.
There is no real downtime, and a new tray can feel snug for a day or two. With any concern, reach out to Powell and Udrys DDS PC.
