Dr. McMaster uses special digital tools to make a highly accurate impression of your mouth. He then uses that impression, along with special SureSmile software, to analyze your bite, your anatomical factors, and design your series of clear aligners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your aligners are designed to fit snugly over your teeth and exert a continuous pressure on your smile that gently pushes it towards its target alignment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each aligner is designed to shift your smile closer to your alignment goal progressively. You wear each aligner for a couple of weeks, then move on to the next aligner in your series.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You wear your aligners as often as possible (ideally for at least 22 hours every day), but you can take them out whenever you need to brush, floss, or eat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the benefits of clear braces?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clear braces have several benefits over orthodontic treatment with traditional metal braces, like:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comfortable to wear<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your aligners are made from smooth, flexible plastic that won\u2019t tear up the insides of your cheeks and are fabricated with a laser-trimmed, precision fit, so they rest perfectly on your smile.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virtually invisible<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The clear plastic of your aligners is nearly invisible on your teeth, so you won\u2019t have to worry about the embarrassing mouthful-of-metal look that typically accompanies orthodontic treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy to live with<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can take your aligners out whenever you need to eat, brush, or floss, so you won\u2019t have to make any significant lifestyle adjustments during your treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule your clear braces consultation with Sheldon Park Dental by calling the office or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheldonparkdental.com\/contact-us-sheldon-park-dental-eugene-oregon\/\">request a visit online<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A properly aligned smile benefits more than just your appearance \u2014 it also offers several oral health benefits.
