Clear Aligners in West Seattle, WA

In today’s busy online world, it’s essential to feel confident about your appearance to make the most of social media, photos, and Zoom meetings where your smile takes center stage.

If crooked teeth have you hiding your smile, but you don’t want to wear traditional metal braces to straighten them, clear aligners may be the perfect solution for you!

Why Are Straight Teeth So Important?

Besides the boost they can give your confidence, having straight teeth also makes oral hygiene with routine brushing and flossing easier, reducing your chances of developing common problems like tooth decay or gum disease. 

Having your bite aligned correctly also significantly lowers your risk of developing jaw joint (TMJ) problems like popping, clicking, tenderness when chewing, frequent headaches, or neck and shoulder pain. 

Instead of relying on brackets and wires to move your teeth into alignment, CandidPro uses clear, BPA-free plastic aligners.

The aligners fit snugly against your teeth and apply gentle pressure that gradually moves them. Our patients achieve their best results when they wear their aligners for at least 22 hours daily, removing them for meals, brushing, and flossing.

You’ll change your aligners at home every one to three weeks according to Dr. Holliday’s treatment plan specifications, and you’ll check in with her periodically at Holliday Dental Wellness to ensure your teeth are moving as planned. CandidPro even uses virtual AI technology that allows Dr. Holliday to monitor your results from the comfort of your home. You can take follow-up scans right on your smartphone and connect with your West Seattle dentist in real time for progress updates. This helps keep the patient’s treatment on track, as compliance is the key to successful treatment with clear aligners. With diligent wear of their clear aligners, most patients can finish their treatment in 10 to 18 months, depending on their needs.  

Clear aligners offer several benefits that our patients love:

• Freedom: There are no restrictions to your diet with clear aligners so you can enjoy all the foods you love.
• Predictability: Clear aligners deliver reliable results because Dr. Holliday uses 3-D imaging to plan your treatment before it even starts.
• Ease: Brushing and flossing your teeth is simple because you can remove your aligners, and you won’t have to navigate around brackets and wires.
• Discretion: Probably the feature our patients love most! No one will ever know you’re straightening your teeth because clear aligners are discreet and virtually invisible.
