Hinsdale Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are incredibly popular with patients in Hinsdale and are the top alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and bands, clear aligner systems use a series of clear, removable plastic trays to straighten your teeth gradually.
Clear aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and customized to fit snugly over your teeth. To keep your teeth moving in the direction you want them to, you’ll need to switch your transparent trays out for the next one in the series every week as directed by our team.
Clear aligners can only work if the recommended guidelines are followed exactly! Aligners should be worn about 22 hours per day throughout treatment. If you neglect to wear the aligners as directed, it can impede the results and add time to the orthodontic process.
Aligners are most efficient when correcting many of the most common orthodontic issues. Clear aligners may not be a good option for some complex cases. A free consultation at CHT Orthodontics in Hinsdale will allow us to determine your eligibility for clear aligners.
Hinsdale Braces
Braces in Hinsdale are an excellent choice for correcting complex tooth issues. Traditional metal braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have.
They’re made out of metal or ceramic brackets that are affixed to the teeth and then connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics.
These brackets, wires, and bands work together to apply the gentle pressure that will gradually move the teeth into the positions we want them to be in as long as you have regular adjustments with our doctors.
