Your Family Orthodontic Dentist in Parma, OH
At Jordan M. Job DDS, we recognize that misaligned teeth can lead to dental issues like malocclusion, tooth crowding, off-center smile midlines, and spacing causing unwanted food traps. Our solution involves orthodontic care, offering both traditional braces and invisible braces options. These treatments aim to straighten your teeth, improve occlusion for better chewing, and enhance your overall quality of life and confidence.
How Does SimplyClear Treatment Work?
Once you and Dr. Job agree that you’re a candidate for clear aligner therapy, he’ll take x-rays, photos, and digital scans of your teeth to plan treatment. Using specialized software, our SimplyClear dentist develops a treatment plan that predicts how your teeth will move through each stage of treatment.
The Orthobrain lab and Dr. Job plan out your case and customize several sets of clear aligners designed to move your teeth into the ideal position gradually. When they’re ready, you’ll return to our dental office, so Dr. Job can give you your first aligners along with instructions for wearing them.
Step 1
Place Aligners
Typically, during your initial aligner appointment, you’ll meet with Dr. Job. At this time, he will place tooth-colored attachments on your teeth, virtually unnoticeable. Additionally, he will perform IPR, a small procedure creating space in crowded teeth to facilitate tooth movement. Either Dr. Job or one of our experienced staff members will guide you through instructions and address any further questions about your case.
Step 2
Adjust to Your new Aligners
For optimal results, it is advised to wear your aligners for 22 hours a day, removing them only during meals and for oral hygiene practices. The more consistently you wear them, the quicker you’ll progress towards achieving your desired smile.
Step 3
Change Aligners
Wear each set of aligners for a duration of 10-14 days, taking into consideration their tightness. If, after 10 days, they no longer feel tight, proceed to the next set. Conversely, if they still feel tight after 10 days, continue wearing them for the full 14 days.
Step 4
Progress Check-In!
We suggest scheduling a progress check at our dental office every four to six weeks to receive your subsequent sets of aligners.
Step 5
Transition to Retainers
Upon achieving satisfaction with your smile and bite, either Dr. Job will carefully remove the attachments from your teeth. Subsequently, you’ll transition to removable retainers, and we strongly advise wearing them every night for optimal results.
Remember that the longer you wear your aligners each day, the faster you will finish treatment. If you have an event like a wedding, reunion, job interview, or your dream date, go ahead and take your aligners out – just remember to brush and floss before you put them back in!
Treatment progresses this way until you’ve worn all the aligners, and you and Dr. Job agree that you have achieved the beautiful results you wanted.
Are You a Candidate for SimplyClear Aligners?
If you’ve been waiting for a solution to straighten crooked teeth without metal braces, we would love to tell you about SimplyClear. Please call Jordan M. Job DDS to schedule an appointment to get started!
While some patients may opt for clear aligner therapy, we also provide traditional braces as an alternative. Teenagers have the option of wearing clear aligners for minor corrections, but in certain cases, traditional braces are necessary as not all tooth movements can be accomplished with clear aligners alone. In adult patients, clear aligners can address nearly any orthodontic need, ensuring excellent results.
Dr. Job will discuss all your treatment options with you and is committed to being as flexible as possible to ensure you achieve the smile of your dreams!
