Get Straighter Teeth with Clear Aligners You Only Have to Wear at Night
Providing our patients straighter teeth is one of the more popular dental services we offer. We do this with clear aligners – also referred to as invisible braces.
Clear aligners are orthodontic devices that perform the same function as traditional braces. Clear aligners correct your teeth alignment and give you a straighter smile over a period of time. They’re called a “clear aligner” because they are made of clear plastic that is nearly invisible to others.
What Are OrthoFX NiTime Aligners?
NiTime Aligners are a new type of clear aligner from OrthoFX. You only need to wear them for 9 to 12 hours each day, not the 20+ hours per day that is recommended by both SureSmile aligners and those undergoing Invisalign treatment.
The Science Behind NiTime Technology
NiTime aligners feature Hyper-Elasticity. This means they bend back to shape better than regular aligners. The special polymer mix keeps strong but gentle force on your teeth during your clear aligner treatment.
The NiTime Hyper Elastic Multi Shell Design Applies Gentle, Consistent , Precise Pressure to Your Teeth that Provides Great Results with Reduced Wear Time When Compared to Most Other Aligners
NiTime also incorporates a smart multi shell design that puts the right amount of force on your teeth to move misaligned teeth to the desired position over time. Other aligners use significantly more force than needed, which can hurt – and can make it less likely that you’ll want to consistently follow your clear aligner therapy regimen.
Dental Problems that Ortho FX Effectively Treats
Overbite
Overbite Dental Health Risks
- Tooth Damage & Wear – Excessive overlap can cause uneven wear on teeth, leading to chipping, cracking, or enamel erosion.
- Jaw Pain & TMJ Disorders – An untreated overbite can strain the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), leading to pain, headaches, and difficulty chewing.
- Gum Disease & Cavities – Misaligned teeth can be harder to clean, increasing the risk of plaque buildup, cavities, and even gum disease.
- Speech Problems – Pronunciation difficulties and lisping can occur due to improper tongue positioning.
