Aligners

3M™ Clarity™ Aligners

The 3M clear aligner system is custom fit for your smile. Designed to treat mild to moderate orthodontic issues, this aligner treatment provides and experience that is nearly invisible, convenient, and comfortable.

How do 3M Clarity Aligners work?

Clarity Aligners gradually move your teeth without the need for metal wires or braces. This treatment uses a system of removable, nearly invisible plastic trays designed to help guide your teeth into the ideal position to get the beautiful, healthy smile you want.

Treatment starts with a custom, digital treatment plan that will show you how your teeth will move during the process, and how long it will take to reshape your smile. You will receive a series of clear aligners that should be worn according to your custom treatment plan. 

What are the benefits of clear aligners?

Custom fit: 3M Clarity Aligners are custom fit for you.

Your lifestyle comes first: You can remove Clarity Aligners when you want to eat or drink, brush or floss your teeth. 

Maintain good hygiene: Since Clarity Aligners are removable, you are able to easily maintain flossing and good dental habits.

Enjoy your food: Unlike traditional braces, you can remove your aligners so there is no need to change your diet.

How do 3M Clarity Aligners differ from other aligner treatments?

Combination Treatment: With 3M aligners, you have the ability to do a “combination” treatment. The 3M oral care digital treatment plan allows us map out and track how the clear aligners will straighten your teeth and your smile over time.

Less Visible: Although aligners such as Invisalign are clear, they do show a certain degree of gloss. 3M Clarity Aligners come in a more subdued matte, making them less noticeable while in your mouth.

As your orthodontic authority in Union, West Virginia, we’d like to provide you with a bit more information on this revolution in Orthodontics. 

What is Invisalign? 

Invisalign is essentially a “braceless alternative” to traditional orthodontic appliances. With more  attention on appearance, some patients prefer a less visible solution to adjusting and straightening teeth. In 1997, Invisalign’s inception changed the industry forever by creating straighter teeth without the use of metal brackets and wires, and often eliminating the discomfort associated with traditional braces.  Invisalign aligners are 100% customized, form-fitted for each patient, and removable.  Once placed, your Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible. 

“Invisalign” aligners are created by utilizing sophisticated 3-D imaging that makes fitting less time consuming, and more comfortable than traditional Orthodontic appliances.  With 3-D computer imaging, a precise picture of your teeth is created, making Invisalign’s aligners unnoticeable. Unlike traditional Orthodontic appliances, patients may remove aligners at will.  In fact, many patients say they choose Invisalign, due to the level of comfort, and lower maintenance removable aligners provide.

Why choose Invisalign? 

  • Orthodontic patients worldwide continue to benefit from the creation and placement of Invisalign appliances.
  • Since Invisalign aligners are made from plastic and form fitted, rounded edges will not irritate lips and gums.
  • Patients can expect a better smile, without the appearance of wires and metal brackets.
  • Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can eat, drink and brush your teeth without interference. 
  • No change in lifestyle! With Invisalign, you can continue your normal routines and daily activities without changing habits. Invisalign is the preferred choice of front facing business professionals, athletes, and more. 
  • Fewer appointments are needed, and office visits are painless, easy, and faster than with traditional braces.

How Invisalign works. 

Patients beginning treatment with Panucci Orthodontics will receive several sets of aligners, each customized to ensure they fit as comfortably as possible.  Each set of aligners are worn for a period of two weeks. After each two-week cycle, patients switch to the next set of aligners, and so on.  Invisalign aligners continue to straighten teeth and create a better smile throughout the length of treatment.

Invisalign for Teens

Invisalign® clear aligners were created to transform smiles without interrupting the active lifestyle of teens.  Teens and young adults now have the freedom to change their smiles without sacrificing time and effort needed with traditional orthodontic appliances. 

Invisalign aligners are barely noticeable!  You can smile confidently and not worry about being called things like: “Tinsel Teeth”, “Brace face”, or “Tin Grin”.  Our teen patients have said that in most cases, no one even noticed they had Invisalign.  In fact, up close and personal interactions with things like pizza, apples, boys / girls were something they had no attention on, once fitted with Invisalign Teen aligners.  So that date you were worried about, or year book pictures coming up, don’t stress!  You won’t need to wear a mask, or hide out in the basement for a year, or more. 

Teens say that Invisalign Teen aligners are a perfect fit because they are:

  • Virtually invisible and unnoticeable.
  • Completely and easily removable.
  • Extremely Comfortable.

 Invisalign aligners for teens are customized to fit your mouth perfectly.

Apples, chips, popcorn, hot dogs, no problem! We know that your friends with metal braces will say they can’t eat any of the things they like. Some will even say they can’t eat anything at all!  Teens fitted with Invisalign will experience no interruption to their lives, or daily routines, which means they can eat the things they love most, without the worry of breaking brackets, or losing rubber bands.  After all, it’s their life, and we don’t want to change anything!
