Are you hunting for a way to breathe new life into your smile? But perhaps you don’t want to bother with braces? Have you heard about clear aligners at Kanning Orthodontics? Kanning Orthodontics is your place to find out everything you need to know about them! Our team offers clear aligners as a way to straighten your teeth without anyone else knowing about it. If you’re local to Kansas City or Liberty, Dr. Kanning is your go-to expert for anything related to clear aligners.
Why Pick Clear Aligners?
Why pick clear aligners over old-school metal braces? Well, there are lots of reasons. First off, this treatment is almost invisible. Yes, that means you can wear them without anyone really noticing. You may hear the word “transparent” around our offices. That’s what it means. Plus, they are comfortable—no wires or metal to bug you.
Another big win is that you can take them out (gasp!). Going to a big game, a friend’s party, or just want to eat your favorite snack? No problem. Just take out your aligners and be our guest. Brushing your teeth is simple since you don’t have to work around braces.
This treatment is perfect for all sorts of situations. Are you a parent with a teenager who doesn’t want braces cramping their style? Perhaps you’re an adult who prefers a less obvious way to get a great smile. If that’s you (or your teen), ask Dr. Kanning about clear aligners!
Why We Use Clarity Clear Aligners
Our Liberty and Kansas City offices proudly use Clarity clear aligners. They’re comfortable, easy to use, and simple to take care of. Put them on at the beginning of your day, and wear them as you need to. But unlike braces, they’re not fixed to your teeth. That’s right! The biggest thing that distinguishes our clear aligners from braces is that you can take them out.
Got an oral report for school? A big meeting at work, maybe? Awesome! Take your aligners out and get after it. When you’re finished, just slide your aligners back in place. You can keep studying, working, and smiling. Clarity clear aligners from Dr. Kanning allow you to keep being yourself without your treatment getting in the way.
How Clear Aligners Work
Clear aligners are clear plastic trays that fit over your teeth. Dr. Kanning designs your trays, especially for you (we don’t practice “one-size-fits-all”). You switch to a new set every two weeks. Each tray is slightly different, so they slowly move your teeth where we need them to be. You keep wearing them until your smile is just right. Most people finish clear Aligner treatment in 12 months or less. More complicated cases might take a bit longer.
Invisible? Indubitably!
One of the best things about clear aligners is that the trays are hard to see. This means you can wear them without feeling shy about your smile. Whether at school, hanging out with friends, or taking pictures, most people won’t be aware you’re wearing them. If you’re a Harry Potter fan, think of them like the cloak of invisibility—but for your teeth!
Clearly Comfortable
Clear aligner trays are smooth and made of plastic. So they feel much better in your mouth than metal braces. No wires or brackets to poke or irritate you. This makes clear aligners a wonderful choice for getting a straighter smile. It lets you focus on your day without worrying about your treatment.
Simple Cleaning
Keeping your teeth clean with clear aligners is really easy. Just take out the trays, brush, and floss as normal. No trying to clean around wires or brackets. This means you can keep your teeth clean and healthy. No skipping out on hygiene during your treatment!
More Dietary Options
Love popcorn? Apples? Corn on the cob? With clear aligners, you don’t have to stop eating your favorite foods. Just take out your aligners before you eat, and enjoy whatever you like (within reason!). Then, clean your teeth and put your aligners back in. You wouldn’t have so much freedom with traditional braces.
All About That Clear Aligner Life
Living with this treatment is easy and doesn’t get in the way of your daily routines. As we discussed earlier, you won’t have to make any big changes to your nutrition. That’s clear aligners for you! Since your aligners are clear and removable, you can take them out whenever you need to eat or brush your teeth.
Dr. Kanning recommends wearing your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day. Any less than that, and you won’t be getting the full benefit. But wearing them will quickly become a part of your life. Eventually, you won’t even know your aligners are there. Almost like wearing a watch or glasses. You’ll also visit our Kansas City and Liberty offices occasionally to check your progress. But you won’t need any adjustments since you’re not wearing braces!
