Clear Braces & Teeth Whitening in Lakewood, CO

Clear braces and teeth whitening are sought-after treatments we offer for different concerns. While clear braces are an orthodontic treatment to align your smile and shape your teeth, teeth whitening happens to be a cosmetic dental procedure that whitens your teeth and helps you maintain a pearly white smile.

It would be great to schedule an appointment with us to address these problems.

What are Clear Braces?

Clear braces have become a better alternative to traditional dental braces. As the name suggests, they are near-invisible in appearance. Thus when you are undergoing orthodontic treatment with clear braces, people will barely notice them. Clear braces are made using dental-grade ceramic, and we recommend them in case of an overbite, crowded or widely spaced teeth, and crooked teeth.

Clear braces are custom-made for every person. They work by moving your teeth in the desired direction. We capture digital impressions of your mouth and, with specialized software, process the information. The future projections for straighter teeth and better results are computed. We use a milling machine to fabricate the set of clear trays for you automatically.

These braces provide a snug fit and do not demand any restrictions while eating or drinking, as you can remove them while eating food. Clear braces also make it easy to take care of your oral health. You can keep your mouth clean, thus preventing the build-up of plaque, tartar, and other substances.

What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening refers to the process of removing stains from your teeth' surfaces and restoring the natural appearance of your smile. It is a single-visit procedure that we perform for patients of all age groups. The advancements in dental technology have also introduced many teeth whitening treatments that provide long-lasting results.

Many factors lead to the discoloration of teeth, such as consuming tea, coffee, aerated drinks, and acidic foods, smoking cigarettes or chewing tobacco, damage of your developing permanent teeth because of accidents or trauma, medical treatments, aging, etc. Teeth whitening involves the application of hydrogen peroxide gel on the surface of your teeth. We apply the gel, allow it to stay for some time, and wash it. 

If the stains are too stubborn, we reapply the gel and use a laser so that your teeth absorb it properly. During the treatment, we cover your tongue, lips, and teeth completely with a dental dam so that only the teeth are made visible for the procedure. The effects of this procedure are dramatic. We will also give you at-home whitening products to maintain your pearly white smile.
