The Clear Aligner Process
Let’s talk particulars. How do clear aligners work?
Dr. Pakravan will start by creating a precise 3D image of your unique dental structure, allowing us to craft a personalized treatment plan just for you.
Throughout the course of your treatment, you'll wear Spark clear aligners for approximately 9-15 months, transitioning through 18-30 sets of aligners.
These aligner trays are designed to be worn for about 22 hours a day, with easy removal for meals and oral care. You'll notice significant progress within just a few months.
Spark aligners are made from smooth, comfortable, and nearly invisible plastic, offering a hassle-free experience as your teeth gradually shift into their desired positions.
No need to worry about metal brackets or wires – you'll switch to a new set of aligners every two weeks until your journey to a straighter smile is complete.
Digital Impressions
Forget about the hassle and discomfort of traditional impressions with the cutting-edge iTero Element Scanner at Windy City Orthodontics.
This digital marvel, available at both our Lincoln Park and Lakeview offices, replaces messy putty with a comfortable and precise 3D model of your teeth and gums, streamlining your orthodontic experience.
The Clear Difference
Spark clear aligners offer distinct advantages over traditional braces. With their smooth plastic composition, you'll avoid potential irritation from metal components.
Enjoy the freedom to remove the aligner trays before meals, granting you the liberty to savor all your favorite foods without restrictions.
Remember to follow Dr. Pakravan’s recommendations, remove the clear aligners when drinking anything other than water, and clean your teeth before reinserting them to prevent staining. Cleaning is a breeze without brackets and wires to navigate.
Proper Care for Your Aligners
It’s important to follow Dr. Pakravan’s guidelines for your care with clear aligners. Commit to wearing your aligners for at least 22 hours each day to ensure they effectively guide your teeth into their desired positions.
Maintain impeccable oral hygiene to keep your aligners clean, invisible, and free from odors.
Always remove your aligners before eating and drinking, followed by prompt cleaning to prevent discoloration and the accumulation of bacteria.
To preserve the clarity of your aligners, use a soft toothbrush and water to remove debris. Avoid using toothpaste, as it can contain abrasive particles that may create micro-abrasions, leading to a cloudy appearance.
Steer clear of denture cleaners and mouthwash when caring for your aligners, as these can potentially damage the plastic's surface, making it more visible and affecting your teeth's appearance.
And remember, enjoy meals and beverages (other than water) only when your Spark clear aligners are safely stowed away, as many substances can stain or discolor them.
