Achieve a Straighter Smile with Clear Aligners at Thomson Family Dental
At Thomson Family Dental, we offer clear aligners as a discreet and effective alternative to traditional braces. Our clear aligners are designed to straighten your teeth without the visibility of metal brackets, making them a popular choice for both teens and adults in Thomson, Georgia.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth into their correct positions. Made from smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible plastic, clear aligners are worn over your teeth and replaced every few weeks to continue the straightening process.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
- Discreet Appearance: The nearly invisible design allows you to straighten your teeth without noticeable metal braces.
- Removable: Eat, drink, brush, and floss with ease by simply removing your aligners as needed.
- Comfortable: Smooth plastic trays eliminate the discomfort associated with traditional braces.
- Effective: Clear aligners can address a variety of orthodontic issues, including overcrowding, spacing, and bite problems.
Our Clear Aligner Process
