Straighten Your Smile Discreetly and Comfortably
Want to improve your smile without the look or feel of metal braces? Clear aligners offer a modern, low-profile way to straighten your teeth with flexibility, comfort, and minimal disruption to your everyday life. At Lansdale Dental Care, we offer personalized clear aligner treatment plans designed to deliver excellent results without the hassle of wires and brackets. Under the guidance of Dr. Richard Chillemi, we help patients across Lansdale, North Wales, Hatfield, Colmar, Blue Bell, and surrounding communities achieve confident, well-aligned smiles—on their own terms.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays that gently shift your teeth into place over time. Each set is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next in the series. The trays are made from transparent, medical-grade plastic that fits snugly over your teeth, making them virtually invisible.
Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are removable, which means you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your normal oral hygiene routine with ease.
What Can Clear Aligners Treat?
Clear aligners are ideal for treating a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Gaps between teeth
- Misaligned or rotated teeth
- Mild bite irregularities, such as crossbites or overbites
- Post-braces relapse or touch-up alignment
They’re a popular choice for adults and teens seeking a subtle, effective way to straighten their teeth without drawing attention to their treatment.
How the Clear Aligner Process Works
Your treatment at Lansdale Dental Care begins with a full evaluation and digital imaging to create your custom plan.
Step 1: Digital Scanning & Treatment Planning
We use advanced imaging to take a precise 3D scan of your teeth. Dr. Chillemi will design a treatment plan that shows how your teeth will move and what your final smile will look like.
Step 2: Aligner Fabrication
Your digital scans are sent to a specialized lab where your custom aligners are created. Each tray is crafted to apply controlled pressure to specific teeth.
Step 3: Daily Wear
Wear your aligners for 20–22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. You’ll change to a new set of trays every 1–2 weeks as your teeth shift.
Step 4: Periodic Progress Checks
We’ll see you for short visits every 6–8 weeks to ensure your progress is on track and to provide your next sets of aligners.
