Invisalign Alternative can Whiten your Teeth, Too
Clear aligner therapy, for straightening teeth with clear trays, is here to stay!
It's wonderful to have an effective way to straighten teeth without metal braces. Dr. Grace of Sweet Tooth Dentistry has been an experienced Invisalign provider since 2004 and continues to offer this treatment, which utilizes a series of digitally-designed trays - no goopy impressions! - to move teeth for healthier bites.
This option has been best in class for a reason and works very well to close open bites, straighten crooked teeth, widen narrow arches and close gaps. However, a newer product is gaining momentum for good reason as a popular alternative. The practice has treated many patients with this new system, known as ProMonitoring (Formerly called CandidPro.).
Just like Invisalign, the clear trays are worn for seven or 14-day periods to efficiently and effectively move the teeth orthodontically and switched on a continuous schedule until finished.
Patients ranging from pre-teen to their 70s report that they love how the trays are more incognito with fewer attachments needed, are cost effective and convenient, too, since you get all the trays at once.
There is an app on your phone that helps patients scan, report and visualize progress, making fewer trips to the dentist possible. Dr. Grace and her team at Sweet Tooth Dentistry can monitor progress from a dashboard, too, to send messages and communicate as needed. It's a modern orthodontic option that gets patients excited about their treatment, helps them stay on track and fits the busy lifestyles of patients.
Also exciting: It's possible to whiten your teeth while straightening them!
