Consider Aligner Treatment to get the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted – without braces! A consultation with your Boise or Meridian orthodontist, Dr. Tingey, can determine if Aligner treatment” is right for you.
What is Aligner Treatment?
Aligner treatment uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing. So you can smile more during treatment as well as after.
Aligner Treatment is made with 3D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective. More than 70% of orthodontists in the US and Canada are certified to treat with Aligner treatment”.
Why would I want Aligner Treatment?
Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment!
Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor’s office getting adjustments.
Aligner treatment also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
How does it work?
You wear each set of Aligner Treatment” aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to the final position your orthodontist has prescribed.
You’ll visit our Boise or Meridian orthodontic practice about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time typically lasts nine to 15 months, and the number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both numbers will vary from case to case.
