How Clear Aligners Work
Your 3M Clarity clear aligners will come in a series of custom-designed clear trays created specifically for your upper and lower teeth.
You’ll wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks, at least 20 to 22 hours a day. After each designated period, you’ll switch to the next set in your series. Over time, you’ll notice progressive changes in your tooth alignment, and within just a few months, you’ll see your smile transform into a straighter, healthier version of itself.
Why 3M Clarity Aligners?
Dr. Callaway chooses to offer 3M Clarity Aligners to our patients for several important reasons:
- Nearly Invisible Treatment — 3M Clarity Aligners are virtually undetectable when in place, made from clear material that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. Whether you’re in professional meetings or social gatherings, you can go about your daily life confidently while undergoing treatment.
- Superior Comfort and Fit — Your 3M Clarity aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth, with smooth, rounded edges designed to minimize irritation and discomfort. Many patients report that Clarity Aligners are more comfortable to wear than other clear aligner brands.
- Advanced Material Technology — 3M Clarity Aligners feature a proprietary multi-layer copolymer material that provides excellent force persistence and superior stain resistance compared to other leading clear aligner brands.These aligners are also BPA-free for your safety and peace of mind.
- Customized Precision — Your aligners are designed based on detailed 3D digital models of your teeth, ensuring each tray fits perfectly and moves your teeth with precision. 3M offers unique customization options, including scalloped or straight-cut edges—straight cuts provide more support for tooth movement, while scalloped cuts offer better gum comfort.
- Removable Convenience — You can remove your aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss normally. This means no dietary restrictions and easier oral hygiene compared to traditional braces. You can also remove them for special occasions when needed.
- Proven Effectiveness — You can start to notice changes in your smile within just a few weeks of treatment. Most treatments are completed within 6 to 18 months, though duration varies based on your individual case and consistency in wearing your aligners as directed.
- Professional Expertise — 3M Clarity Aligners are only available through certified orthodontists that 3M approves, ensuring you receive treatment from a qualified specialist with the proper training and experience.
