There’s nothing like a beautiful smile to make us feel good about ourselves. Don’t let crooked teeth hold you back.
Eon aligners are clear, removable aligners that gradually and effectively move your teeth to their ideal position. Trusted by our Specialist Orthodontists here at Drs. Nicolas & Asp Centers, Eon aligners offer a versatile solution that treats a wide range of orthodontic cases.
Eon Aligners are clear, custom-made aligners designed to straighten your teeth gradually and discreetly. They are a modern, comfortable alternative to traditional braces, offering a virtually invisible way to achieve a beautiful, healthy smile.
Eon Aligners apply gentle, controlled pressure to your teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired position over time. To achieve optimal results, you must wear your aligners for at least 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth.
Each aligner is worn for about one to two weeks according to your treatment plan before being replaced with the next in the series, ensuring continuous and precise tooth movement.
Yes, Eon Aligners can be a great option for individuals who have had braces and whose teeth have relapsed.
The duration of treatment with Eon Aligners varies depending on several factors including the complexity of your case, age, and compliance. On average, treatment can take anywhere from 6 to 18 months. Our orthodontists will provide a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
Cleaning your Eon Aligners is essential for maintaining their effectiveness and your oral health. Your orthodontist will give you detailed instructions on how to care for your aligners.
One of the best ways to clean aligners is by using cleaning tablets, which are primarily composed of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and sodium sulfate. Simply drop one tablet in a bowl of water and let your aligners soak for about 10 to 15 minutes. After soaking, rinse them thoroughly with water before putting them back in your mouth. It's important to read the directions on the label before use.
Alternatively, you can use a soft toothbrush to clean your aligners. Gently brush them under running water, but avoid using toothpaste, as the abrasive particles can damage them.
Avoid using mouthwash, especially colored mouthwash, as it can stain your aligners. Hot water can also damage them, causing warping and altering the shape of the aligners.
Completing your Eon Aligner treatment is a significant milestone, but it’s not the end of your orthodontic journey.
After your treatment is complete, you will need to wear custom retainers designed to maintain the alignment of your teeth. Retainers help prevent teeth from gradually shifting back to their original positions, a natural tendency after orthodontic treatment.
By following your orthodontist’s guidance and wearing your retainers regularly, you can enjoy the long-term benefits of your beautifully aligned smile.
