A Discreet and Modern Solution for a Straighter Smile
Straight teeth are a key part of a confident, healthy smile. At Aglow Dental Studio, we offer modern orthodontic solutions for patients who want to avoid traditional metal braces. Our clear aligner therapy provides a discreet, effective way to gradually shift teeth into alignment, serving teens and adults in Reston, Sterling, Herndon, and throughout Northern Virginia.
If you have been considering a more comfortable, almost invisible way to straighten your teeth, clear aligners could be the perfect solution.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are customized, removable trays that fit snugly over your teeth. They are designed to apply gentle, consistent pressure, encouraging teeth to move into their ideal positions over time. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are made from smooth, transparent plastic, making them far less noticeable during treatment.
At Aglow Dental Studio, Dr. Rosemary Ahanor uses the latest digital technology to plan each aligner sequence, ensuring optimal results while maintaining patient comfort and convenience.
Benefits of Choosing Clear Aligners
Patients across Reston and surrounding areas choose clear aligners for several reasons:
- Subtle appearance that blends into your natural smile
- Removable trays for easier eating, brushing, and flossing
- Fewer office visits compared to traditional braces
- Customized treatment designed with digital precision
- Improved oral hygiene and comfort during treatment
Who Is a Candidate for Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are ideal for correcting mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Minor bite issues (overbite, underbite, crossbite)
- Mild to moderate misalignments
During your consultation, Dr. Ahanor will perform a thorough evaluation to determine if clear aligners or an alternative, such as Invisalign, is the best fit for your goals.
If more comprehensive cosmetic changes are needed, we may discuss a Smile Makeover as part of your overall treatment plan.
