The Clear Alternative
When you think of orthodontics, you might picture metal braces, but we know that look isn't for everyone! That’s why we love offering clear aligners, the modern alternative that uses nearly invisible plastic trays to gently guide your teeth into place. They are completely removable, which is a big win for your daily life!
We are happy to discuss if clear aligners are the perfect fit for your smile journey.
Why Clear Aligners Fit Your Lifestyle:
- You Can Eat Everything! You just pop the trays out for meals and snacks, so you can still bite into an apple or enjoy a crispy crust.
- Easy to Keep Clean: With a removable appliance, you can brush and floss your teeth much more easily, which helps keep your oral hygiene top-notch throughout treatment.
- The Discreet Look: If your orthodontic treatment is a private matter, or you worry about your professional image, this practically invisible option lets you achieve a stunning smile without anyone knowing.
- Greater Comfort: The soft, flexible material won't irritate the soft tissues of your mouth the way metal wires sometimes can.
- Teeth Protection: If you tend to grind or clench your teeth, the aligners can even function as thin nightguards to help protect your teeth from wear while you wear them!
How Your Aligners Journey Works
Clear aligners work the same way traditional braces do — by applying gentle, carefully controlled forces to move your teeth into a better position. But instead of metal, they use clear, flexible plastic.
Here's how we plan it out together:
- Digital Planning: Specialized computer software helps us design a precise plan for moving your teeth from their current spot into their best possible alignment.
- Custom Trays: This movement is broken down into a series of stages. For each stage, a lab creates two custom plastic trays — one for your top teeth and one for your bottom.
- Wearing Your Trays: For the best results, you need to wear your aligners for about 22 hours per day. You’ll move into your next set of trays every 7 to 14 days, depending on your personal treatment plan.
- Gradual Movement: Each new set of aligners in the series accomplishes the next small step of movement, continuing until your teeth are perfectly aligned.
Edney Orthodontics Reviews
Very friendly.
We’ve had such a great experience here! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, the office is clean and well organized, and there’s little to no wait time at our appointments. Everything runs smoothly and efficiently, and my daughter always feels comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend!
Our son got his braces today, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Beth was absolutely amazing. She joked around with our son, made sure he was comfortable throughout the entire appointment, and was so sweet and patient with our daughter, who was very curious about her big brother getting braces. She even let our daughter be a little helper and hold the suction tool! Dr. Edney was wonderful as well. He took the time to answer all of our questions and even made sure our son received a mouth guard for football. We are a fourth generation family getting our braces with Dr. Edney! Hands down, the #1 place to go for orthodontic care! We couldn’t recommend them more! ❤️
The staff is great , always very welcoming .
Dr. Edney and his entire team are absolutely wonderful! From the moment you walk through the door, the office is warm, clean, and welcoming. They do an amazing job explaining every step of the treatment so both parents and kids feel completely at ease. My expectations were completely exceeded, and my family always feels like home here. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great orthodontic care in Hendersonville!"
