Clear Aligner Therapy
Crooked teeth and a misaligned jaw can impact your smile, confidence, and quality of life. Your dentist in Fort Myers, FL, can help. At Gulf Coast Advanced Dentistry, we offer clear aligner therapy to straighten your teeth and align your jaw.
Clear aligner therapy can gently push your teeth into place to enhance your smile. Most patients don’t have to wear braces to straighten their teeth: clear aligners do the job easily and effectively.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are made from clear plastic that fits over your teeth and moves them gently into the desired position. During clear aligner therapy, your dentist will provide a series of aligners, each new set moving your teeth a little more. When your teeth are in the correct position, your dentist will give you a retainer to make the change permanent.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
