Clear Aligners in Columbus, OH
Straightening your smile is easier than ever with Clear Aligners like Invisalign®!
What Are Clear Aligners ?
You deserve to look and feel your best! Ask Dr. Sharon Schindler how aligners can help.
Columbus, Ohio patients seeking a straight, confident smile can count on Dr. Sharon Schindler for a smooth orthodontic transformation. Aligners gradually position teeth into the ideal placement for your smile and oral health. With the series of new Aligners, your new smile begins to take shape gently. Evenly spaced teeth benefit more than your confident appearance – it’s easier to brush, floss, and keep your teeth healthy as well.
Dr. Schindler helps you look your best while straightening your smile. The Clear Aligners are thin and very discreet. Best of all, they are removable, so you can eat and drink whatever you like. They also make brushing and flossing much easier than traditional braces.
What are the Benefits of Clear Aligners?
How Do Clear Dental Aligners System Work?
Clear Aligners are virtually invisible Aligners, rather than metal bands, brackets or wires, that straighten teeth comfortably. The Aligners are custom-made to fit the teeth, and are easily removable so guests can eat, drink, brush and floss. The advantage that teeth Aligners have over regular braces is that they are virtually undetectable.
In addition to straightening crooked or misaligned teeth, Aligners can eliminate crowding and large spaces between teeth. More complex conditions, such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites, can also be treated.
Our Clear Aligner system uses advanced 3-D computer-imaging technology to project tooth movement in a Guests’ mouth. This allows Dr. Schindler to create a series of clear, custom-made aligners, also called repositioners, that gradually move the teeth in line with one another. A guest wears each Aligner for about two weeks, then moves on to the next set, and then the next, until the teeth-positioning goal has been met.
