At Dental Magic, we are committed to helping you achieve a beautifully aligned smile with the latest orthodontic treatments. Clear aligners are a popular and effective way to straighten teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. We offer both Invisalign and OrthoFX clear aligner treatments, providing you with flexible options to suit your needs and lifestyle.

How Clear Aligners Achieve Straight Teeth

Clear aligners have become a preferred choice for teens and adults looking to straighten their teeth. Made from comfortable plastic, clear aligners are removable and fit your teeth without the use of brackets, rubber bands, and wires like traditional metal braces. They are virtually invisible and perfect for those who want a discreet and comfortable orthodontic solution.

Invisalign at Dental Magic

Invisalign is one of the most well-known brands of clear aligners. It uses advanced 3D imaging technology to create a personalized treatment plan and a series of custom aligners.

Invisalign Treatment Process

• Consultation and Assessment: Dr. William Bacon will evaluate your teeth and discuss your smile goals. Digital impressions and photographs are taken to create a detailed 3D image of your teeth.
• Custom Treatment Plan: Based on the 3D images, a precise treatment plan is developed, outlining the expected movement of your teeth and the duration of your treatment.
• Aligner Fabrication: Custom aligners are created specifically for you. Each set is worn for about two weeks before moving to the next set in the series.
• Regular Check-Ups: You will visit Dental Magic periodically to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned and to receive your next sets of aligners.

Benefits of Invisalign

• Invisible Appearance: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who want a discreet orthodontic treatment.
• Comfortable Fit: Made from smooth plastic, Invisalign aligners are comfortable and less likely to irritate your gums and cheeks compared to traditional braces.
• Removable: You can remove your aligners when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, allowing for better oral hygiene and convenience.
• Effective Results: Invisalign can effectively treat a variety of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, and mild to moderate bite problems.

OrthoFX at Dental Magic

OrthoFX is another innovative clear aligner brand that combines advanced materials and digital technology to provide effective orthodontic treatment. OrthoFX aligners are known for their comfort and effectiveness.

OrthoFX Treatment Process
