What it is
Aligner checks are short appointments that come round often. Having them in town is the difference between finishing and quitting.
At Post Family Dentistry, we offer clear aligners as a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Dr. Xochitl Anderton, DDS, provides expert orthodontic care to help you achieve a beautifully aligned smile.
What it does for you
Discreet Appearance
The clear material makes them nearly invisible when worn.
Removable Convenience
You can remove aligners for meals and oral hygiene routines.
Comfortable Fit
Smooth plastic reduces irritation compared to metal brackets.
No Dietary Restrictions
Enjoy your favorite foods without the worry of damaging braces.
Predictable Results
Advanced technology provides an accurate preview of your expected outcome.
Are clear aligners suitable for all ages?
Yes, they are appropriate for both teens and adults seeking orthodontic treatment.
How long does treatment typically last?
The duration varies depending on individual needs but generally ranges from six months to two years.
How often do I need to visit the dentist during treatment?
You will typically have check-ups every six to eight weeks to ensure proper progress and receive new sets of aligners.
What happens if I lose an aligner?
If an aligner is lost or damaged, contact Post Family Dentistry promptly. Depending on your progress, Dr. Xochitl Anderton may suggest using the next set or ordering a replacement.
Can I switch back to braces if needed?
If circumstances change or desired outcomes aren't met with clear aligners alone, transitioning back to traditional braces is an option that can be discussed with Dr. Xochitl Anderton.
