Manhattan Beach clear aligners experts
If you want the same great results that traditional braces provide, but want more freedom and flexibility during your treatment, you may consider treatment with a clear aligner system. We're proud to be your trusted Manhattan Beach orthodontist creating beautiful, forever smiles for patients of all ages each and every day.
How clear aligners work
Clear aligner systems are a highly popular orthodontic treatment option that can effectively align your teeth and improve your oral health. At Hom Orthodontics in Manhattan Beach, we specialize in creating customized clear aligners tailored to meet each patient's unique needs. During your initial consultation, we will use advanced technology, including x-rays and digital impressions, to create a precise 3D image of your teeth. With this information, we will design aligners that are made from a smooth and comfortable material, ensuring a snug fit over your teeth. To achieve the desired results, you will switch to a new set of aligners every 1-2 weeks, gradually moving your teeth into their correct positions.
Our experienced team of experts will closely monitor your progress throughout your treatment journey. It is crucial to follow our instructions and wear the aligners as directed to ensure the success of your treatment. By adhering to the recommended guidelines and attending your scheduled appointments, you can avoid setbacks and achieve optimal results within the estimated timeframe.
In addition to being highly effective, clear aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces. They are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly. You can also enjoy the freedom of removing the aligners when eating or drinking, making mealtime more enjoyable. Maintaining good oral hygiene is easier, as you can easily remove the aligners for brushing and flossing. Say goodbye to wires and brackets with clear aligners!
Your orthodontic journey with clear aligners offers a less invasive alternative to traditional braces for achieving a straighter smile. However, as every patient and smile is unique, the duration of treatment can vary. While the average timeframe is typically 6 to 18 months, factors such as case severity, age, oral health, and patient compliance can influence the outcome.
To ensure optimal results, strict adherence to our guidelines is crucial. Wearing the aligners for a minimum of 20-22 hours per day is essential throughout the treatment process. Even a slight deviation from the recommended routine can prolong the treatment duration. Clear aligners provide flexibility and convenience, but they also require personal responsibility.

Benefits of clear aligners
They're practically invisible.
Clear aligners are a popular orthodontic treatment because they are virtually undetectable. You can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing you're wearing them.
You can eat or drink whatever you want.
Unlike braces, which restrict certain foods, clear aligners are removable, so you can eat and drink whatever you like without worrying about damaging your orthodontic appliance.
You can easily brush or floss.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial during orthodontic treatment. With clear aligners, you can remove them easily to brush and floss your teeth normally.
There are no pesky wires.
Braces can be uncomfortable because of the wires that can poke or irritate your mouth, and they need to be adjusted periodically. Clear aligners, on the other hand, don't have wires, and there's no need for adjustments during your treatment. You'll still need to visit your orthodontist to check on your progress, but the process is much simpler.
