For many students, the prospect of wearing traditional braces can be daunting. Having a mouth full of metal during such a socially active and formative time can be off-putting. However, orthodontic care doesn’t have to mean bulky, noticeable braces. At Orthodontic Specialists, we offer a superior alternative—clear aligners for students. These virtually invisible aligners are a fantastic option for students, offering both the effectiveness of traditional braces and the discretion students crave.
The Customization Advantage
Let’s face it, school is a time when appearances matter. Whether for school photos, class presentations, or social events, students want to feel confident in their smiles—and that’s where clear aligners come in, offering a discreet way to achieve a beautiful smile without the hassle of traditional braces.
At Orthodontic Specialists, we take pride in the fact that we make our clear aligners in-house, right here in our office. By making clear aligners in our office, we maintain 100% control over the entire process, ensuring that every aligner is of the highest standards.
Why is this important? We can ensure that each aligner fits perfectly, providing the most efficient tooth movement. Our precision aligners mean shorter treatment times and more predictable outcomes. For students, this is a significant benefit—less time in treatment means getting the perfect smile faster, allowing students to focus on their studies and social lives without the prolonged distraction of orthodontic care.
Comfort Without Compromise
Traditional braces, while effective, can sometimes cause discomfort. The metal brackets and wires can irritate the mouth’s soft tissues, leading to sores and other issues. Clear aligners eliminate this problem. Made from smooth plastic, these aligners are designed to be gentle on the mouth, reducing the risk of irritation. This is especially important for students juggling busy schedules filled with classes, extracurricular activities, and social events. The last thing they need is the added discomfort of braces.
Another significant advantage of clear aligners is that they are removable. Patients can remove clear aligners whenever necessary, unlike braces, which are fixed in place. This means students can remove them during meals, preventing food from getting stuck in their orthodontic appliances and making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene. They can also take them out when brushing and flossing, ensuring that their teeth and gums stay healthy throughout the treatment process.
Efficiency Meets Effectiveness
While comfort and aesthetics are important, the ultimate goal of orthodontic treatment is to achieve a beautiful, healthy smile. Clear aligners are highly effective at gradually moving teeth into their desired positions. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks, during which time it gently shifts the teeth according to the treatment plan. Once the teeth have moved as planned, the patient moves to the next set of aligners.
The treatment timeline can vary depending on the individual’s dental needs. Still, in many cases, students can complete their orthodontic treatment in under a year. With clear aligners, students can achieve the smile they’ve always wanted in a fraction of the time, allowing them to move on to the next chapter of their lives confidently.
A Tailored Approach to Every Smile
Getting clear aligners starts with Dr. Jeff Erikson thoroughly examining the patient’s oral health. At Orthodontic Specialists, we take detailed impressions of the teeth to create a precise model of the mouth. This model is then used to design a series of custom-made aligners, each tailored to Our level of precision is crucial for achieving the best possible results. As the patient progresses through their treatment, they’ll see gradual improvements in their smile. Each new set of aligners brings them one step closer to the final result—a perfectly aligned, beautiful smile.
The Advantages of Clear Aligners for Students
In a world where students are constantly on the move, from the classroom to the sports field to social events, clear aligners provide the flexibility and convenience they need. They offer a solution that fits seamlessly into their busy lives, allowing them to focus on what matters while still achieving the smile they’ve always dreamed of.
