What Are Clear Aligners?
Misaligned teeth affect more than just your look. They're also often harder to clean and can even cause jaw pain, headaches, and permanent damage to the jawbone. While traditional metal braces can be helpful in correcting alignment issues, they're not the only option you have. At La Jolla Dental Wellness Center, we offer orthodontic treatment using clear aligners, which can offer the same benefits as metal braces without the same hassles and discomfort. Instead of using brackets and wires, our clear aligners apply gentle pressure to specific areas of your teeth, gradually guiding them into their proper position. They're discreet, comfortable, and removable, allowing you to eat, brush your teeth, and go about your daily routine with minimal disruption. Schedule a consultation with our dentists in La Jolla, CA to learn if you're a candidate for clear aligners.
How Are Clear Aligner Treatments Performed?
First, we'll perform a detailed examination of your teeth and jaw to determine if clear aligners are the right solution for your needs. If so, we'll build out a personalized treatment plan, taking digital scans of your teeth to create custom sets of aligner trays. Each tray is designed to be worn for 1 – 2 weeks before switching to the next set. You'll need to wear your aligners for most of the day, but you can remove them to eat and clean your teeth. Once your treatment is complete, we'll provide you with retainers to keep your smile looking straight and healthy.
What Are the Benefits of Clear Aligners?
Clear aligner therapy offers a flexible and discreet approach to orthodontic treatment for individuals in the La Jolla, CA area. By gently guiding teeth into their correct positions, clear aligners can create a more balanced and harmonious smile, offering benefits that include:
- Straightens crowded or uneven teeth for a more balanced smile
- Improves bite alignment to reduce uneven pressure on teeth
- Discreet treatment that is difficult for others to notice
- Can often achieve results faster than traditional braces
- Removable aligners make it easy to eat normally and brush your teeth
- Supports long-term oral health by making the teeth and gums easier to clean
La Jolla Dental Wellness Center Reviews
Always a great experience! I moved to sd recently and been having a hard time finding a good dentist. Everyone at this center is super nice and really takes the time to listen to every concern I have. I would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing dentist and team!
A medical office of excellence, where all personnel are kind as well as competent.That helped make an oral surgery experience, as pleasant as possible.
amazing staff, great place, thank you for helping me with my teeth! Dr. Kim, Cathy, and Crystal all great! Dr. Kim really listened and helped me become confident about the recommendations she was making for my teeth and I'm happy with the results.
As someone who has always struggled with anxiety at the dentist, the staff here has always put me at ease taking care of my teeth. Dr. Kim is very thorough and explains what she is doing step by step to ensure the integrity of my teeth, rather than proposing the most invasive procedure from the get-go. Crystal, the hygienist, is very meticulous during my cleanings and always offers good dental advice. Cathy, at the front desk, is extremely helpful dealing with insurance, very responsive when it comes to scheduling, and always greets you with her warm presence and a smile. I cannot recommend this dental office enough!! Another perk is that there is plenty of parking and they validate your parking ticket for you!
The best experience I have ever had the people are extremely friendly make you feel welcomed they are very careful with you and the procedure is quick and effective best in the industry100% recommend
