Clear Aligners - The Clear Choice for Orthodontics During Social Distancing 

We live in strange times - gestures once taken for granted - handshakes, hugs, fist bumps - are now taboo; even our smiles are often hidden behind masks. But that doesn’t mean no one is seeing your smile. COVID-19 has meant socially distancing ourselves but it has also meant a boom in social media. Humans are social creatures and we’ve found new and creative ways to connect even while apart. 

 

More selfies, virtual school, virtual meetings, and video chats are happening than ever before, which means we are even more up close and personal with our smiles. We all want to feel confident on screen - teens and adults alike. Self-confidence is a huge factor in teen development and clear aligners have been found to increase teen confidence both during treatment and once they’ve achieved the smile they always wanted. 

 

Now that the stay-at-home orders have been lifted, there is no reason to wait on getting the smile of your dreams for you or your child; and at Dr. Joseph Lohner’s SkylandSmiles Orthodontics, we have combined the technology of clear aligners with Virtual Consultations, to make sure you are as safe as possible while achieving that smile. 

 

Why are clear aligners a great choice right now?  

 

While we are all allowed out and about again, fears are still running high. We still need to be careful about what we touch, where we spend our time, and with whom. Clear Aligners allow for a more socially distanced approach to orthodontics, while still making sure you get the expertise of a trained and specialized orthodontist like Dr. Joseph Lohner. 

 

Once your treatment plan is put in place, you will receive clear aligners to wear 22 hours a day - no skimping or treatment will take longer! We will want to see you for appointments, just like with braces, but with clear aligners we can sometimes space those appointments further out! 

 

In order to further minimize your time at our practice - gosh we miss seeing our patients all the time but we know it's safer - we have implemented a system to pick-up aligners. During your treatment, you will receive a few batches of clear aligners at a time. We then gauge your progress at appointments (in person or virtual) and move to the next set - if all is going well, you can just pick them up at our door! 

 

While we’d rather see each and every one of our patients all the time, we are doing our part to flatten the curve and keep everyone healthy and safe. Clear aligners allow us to help you attain the smile of your dreams in the safest way possible - it’s the clear choice. Not just any practice can do this, at SkylandSmiles we have the expertise with both orthodontics and technology to help you get that smile. Our fun and friendly office may look a bit different than it used to, but we’re still cooking up ways to make you feel the love while you’re here!

Just take a look at his reviews to see for yourself!
