Clear Aligners Specialist in Norwalk, CT

At Daniel Dental Studio, we offer the following clear aligners:

• Invisalign — Clear aligners first gained widespread popularity thanks to Invisalign, the pioneers of the invisible aligner industry. Since their inception in 1997, Invisalign has helped transform the smiles of over 9 million people around the world.
• SureSmile — One of the most popular clear aligner brands, SureSmile has been gaining attention for its ability to achieve incredible results while still being affordable. It uses advanced scanning technology to provide the highest quality results, promising a highly customized and accurate treatment for every patient.

Invisalign and SureSmile are two of the most popular brands of clear aligners; while they have many similarities, there are a number of important distinctions that set these two options apart. Both treatments use advanced 3D digital scanning, however, Invisalign uses an iTero Element scanner, and SureSmile uses Primescan intraoral scanner. Invisalign uses patented technology, such as SmartTrack material, which enhances comfortability and durability; SureSmile utilizes laser trimmed aligners with polished edges that offer added comfort and a more precise fit. SureSmile is typically more affordable when compared to Invisalign, and produces similar outcomes.

The benefits of SureSmile and Invisalign include:

• Better Gum Health — When teeth are crooked, it can be more difficult to brush and floss properly, increasing the risk of residual food particles between the teeth; this can develop into plaque. Plaque can cause tartar and inflammation; inflammation in the mouth can lead to gum disease, which runs the risk of loose teeth, bad breath, pus between the teeth and gums, teeth sensitivity, pain when chewing, and a receding gum line.
• Minimize Tooth Decay — Along with proper brushing and flossing, Invisalign treatment could help reduce the risk of tooth decay.
• Avoid Bruxism — When teeth are not properly aligned, bruxism could develop, a condition characterized by grinding the teeth together. Invisalign can help fix alignment issues, working to avoid bruxism and its sequelae.
• Improve Digestion — Problems with digestion can arise if crooked or misaligned teeth make it difficult to chew certain foods. Invisalign can achieve straight teeth, allowing people to chew and digest food with ease.
• Boost Confidence — Crooked teeth can affect a person’s self-esteem, therefore one of the top benefits of Invisalign is the confidence boost people experience.

Clear aligners are a great choice for many people, but they are not suitable for everyone. Good candidates for clear aligners are people with mild to moderate dental irregularities, including spacing issues, crowded teeth, and crooked teeth. In order for someone to receive clear aligners, they must have good oral health; if there are any oral health issues present, they must be dealt with first before moving forward with clear aligners.
