- Crooked teeth

The Health Benefits of Straight Teeth

Steps for Getting Clear Aligners in Anderson, SC
Getting Clear Aligners at Mowlajko Family Dentistry begins with a detailed consultation. We take digital impressions that enable us to meticulously plan the step-by-step movement of each tooth and let you preview your new smile.
A Clear Aligners lab creates a series of aligners, each carefully calibrated to move your teeth into the desired positions.
How Clear Aligners Treatment Works
Successful Clear Aligners treatment relies on your commitment and compliance. You will need to wear aligners for 20–22 hours daily and remove them only to eat, brush, and floss; after 1–2 weeks, you will switch to the next set in the series. You will continue wearing and switching your aligners until you have used them all and your treatment is complete.
Periodic check-ins with Dr. Mowlajko every six weeks ensure your progress is on track. Treatment time varies by individual but typically takes 12–18 months.
