If you have crowded teeth, an overbite, an underbite, or obvious smile gaps, this can negatively impact your oral health and self-esteem.
Since the late 1990s, an expanding choice of clear aligners has been introduced, providing far more teeth straightening options than ever before, while eliminating issues associated with traditional orthodontics. At Cyril Beard, DDS, we offer several brands of clear aligners in Red Bank, NJ that are similar in some ways to clear braces, offering discreet correction of a wide range of malocclusion issues.
Developed in 1997, Invisalign has the longest track record among clear aligner systems, with a proven ability to correct various misalignment issues in kids, teens, and adults. Dr. Beard will assess your overall dental health and digitally map out your teeth to determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. If so, the next step is to take impressions with the iTero Element scanner and send them to Invisalign to fabricate your customized, removable aligner trays.
Crafted from SmartTrack™, Invisalign clear aligners apply gentle and constant force, improve control of tooth movements, fit snugly and comfortably around your teeth, and straighten teeth predictably. To achieve the desired results in a timely manner, your clear aligners must be worn for 20–22 hours a day, with an average treatment duration of about 12–18 months.
While relatively new, SureSmile® is backed by Dentsply Sirona—a global leader in dental solutions with over 100 years of experience in oral healthcare. If SureSmile in Red Bank, NJ, is the best option for you, intraoral scans, X-rays, smile photos, and CBCT images are combined with advanced software and sent to a specialized lab to create a series of clear aligners designed to gradually move your teeth into the desired position.
SureSmile offers removable aligner options for both teens and adults with crowded teeth, gaps, and other alignment issues, as well as SureSmile VPro®, a vibrating device designed to facilitate minor front tooth movement when used 5 minutes per day. With SureSmile, you can achieve high-quality results while enjoying a more discreet and often shorter journey than traditional orthodontics, as long as aligners are worn for 22 hours a day.
Introduced in 2006, ClearCorrect offers a comfortable and discreet way to achieve a straighter, more confident smile without the look or hassle of traditional braces. ClearCorrect in Red Bank, NJ, uses advanced 3D digital technology to design a customized series of clear aligners that gently and precisely correct mild to complex alignment issues.
Because ClearCorrect aligners are nearly invisible and removable, you can enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine with ease. Each set is worn for about 2 weeks to gradually shift your teeth into place, with most treatments completed in an estimated 5 to 18 months, if aligners are worn 20 to 22 hours per day.
Whether you straighten your teeth with metal braces or clear aligners, your teeth can shift back over time. Retainers protect your investment by guiding and maintaining the desired position of your teeth.
All the clear aligner systems we offer recommend a patented clear retainer; however, the best choice depends on your specific needs, lifestyle, and our recommendation. Each type has different benefits and considerations, such as durability and maintenance.
Malocclusion can affect more than your oral health, jaw joints, and smile confidence—an improper bite increases the risk of gum infections that can spread and contribute to inflammation and systemic diseases like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Misaligned teeth may also contribute to digestive problems, such as acid reflux or leaky gut.
Research further suggests that underdeveloped jaws and poor alignment can restrict the airway, increasing the risk of obstructive sleep apnea. But with affordable and discreet orthodontics in Red Bank, NJ, coupled with flexible dental financing options, misalignment doesn’t need to take a toll on your physical and emotional health or quality of life!
