At Smarter Orthodontics, Dr. Maria Yazji is constantly striving to improve the orthodontic treatment experience for her patients. That’s why she’s proud to offer DreamSmile by Dr. Yazji! If you’ve been interested in clear aligners but are hesitant about the ‘round-the-clock time commitment, DreamSmile could be your perfect option.
To see if night-only aligners are right for you, schedule your complimentary consultation at Smarter Orthodontics today.
Emerging as an alternative to Invisalign®, DreamSmile is a system of nighttime-only clear aligners. While traditional clear aligners have to be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day and just removed for brushing, flossing, eating, and drinking, DreamSmile aligners are only worn for 9 to 12 hours at night.
Just like other options, DreamSmile aligners work in a progressive sequence. You’ll wear each set of clear aligners for 1 to 2 weeks before switching to the next set. The gentle pressure applied by the durable, medical-grade plastic material moves your teeth into the right positions over time.
Since DreamSmile aligners are nearly invisible, you’ll barely notice them when you look in the mirror. There are also many other benefits to night-only aligners, including:
The time commitment for most clear aligners can make them less appealing to busy teens and adults. DreamSmile aligners only have to be worn for 9 to 12 hours at night, making the time commitment much more feasible for many patients.
DreamSmile aligners are the only FDA-approved clear aligner specifically designed for nighttime use, giving you confidence that your treatment is both safe and effective.
DreamSmile moves your teeth primarily while you sleep, meaning the daytime discomfort is much lower. Like other clear aligners, DreamSmile aligner trays are also smooth, comfortable, and custom-fit to your smile.
Smarter Orthodontics is proud to offer Anywhere Smiles®, a dental monitoring method that can reduce your visits to the office. You can check in with Dr. Yazji from the comfort of your own home!
Dr. Yazji has been able to produce amazing results with Invisalign aligners and DreamSmile aligners alike! You can still achieve a picture-perfect smile with nighttime aligners.
To make your experience at our office even more comfortable, we use no-mess scanning techniques for a full picture of your facial structure. Our iTero™ scanner allows us to avoid the use of messy, goopy impressions.
Your journey with DreamSmile aligners is unique and exciting! Here’s what you can generally expect during the treatment process:
Everything begins with a complimentary consultation at one of the offices. Your consultation exists to answer all of your questions, prepare you for treatment, and allow you to get the full picture of what is required for your dream smile. Dr. Yazji will help you decide the right treatment option for you.
When you’re ready to begin, we’ll use your scans to create a progressive series of clear aligners for you to take home. We’ll be with you when you try on your aligners for the first time.
DreamSmile aligners only need to be worn for 9 to 12 hours every night, and you can easily remove your aligners to brush and floss your teeth in the morning. It’s important to wear your aligners every night to ensure they have time to move your teeth properly.
We limit the number of times you have to come into our office with our Anywhere Smiles program. You’ll be able to check in with Dr. Yazji wherever you are. If you feel the need to visit us in person, we’ll be there for you.
Once you’ve finished your entire set of aligners, we’ll congratulate you! Then, you’ll move into orthodontic retention with retainers, which work to keep your teeth in their new position. We’ll help you choose the right retainer option for you, and often your retainers will closely resemble your nighttime aligners.
Nighttime aligners with DreamSmile are great for teens and adults alike with mild to moderate orthodontic cases, including:
If you can commit to wearing your aligners every night, you could be a great candidate!
