What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable trays that gently shift your teeth into their ideal positions over time. Each set of aligners is designed specifically for your smile and is worn for a designated period before progressing to the next set in the series.

Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, flossing, and special occasions.

Clear aligners can address a variety of orthodontic concerns, including:

During your consultation, we’ll determine whether clear aligners are the right solution for your smile goals.

What to Expect

Personalized Orthodontic Treatment

Every clear aligner journey begins with a comprehensive consultation.

Smile Evaluation

We’ll examine your teeth, bite, and overall oral health while discussing your goals. Digital scans and images allow us to create a precise treatment plan customized to your smile.

Custom Treatment Planning

Using advanced digital technology, we map the movement of your teeth and create a series of custom aligners designed to gradually achieve your desired results. You’ll even be able to preview how your smile is expected to look after treatment.

Wearing Your Aligners

Each set of aligners is typically worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next set. For the best results, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours each day and removed only for eating, drinking anything besides water, brushing, and flossing.

Progress Visits

Throughout treatment, you’ll visit our office periodically so we can monitor your progress and ensure your smile is moving according to plan.

Life with Clear Aligners

One of the biggest advantages of clear aligners is how easily they fit into your everyday life.

Because they’re removable, you can continue enjoying your favorite foods without the dietary restrictions associated with braces. Maintaining good oral hygiene is also simple since you can brush and floss normally after removing your aligners.

Some patients notice mild pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, but this is a normal sign that your teeth are moving as planned.

Maintaining Your Results

Once your treatment is complete, you’ll receive a custom retainer to help maintain your new smile.

Wearing your retainer as recommended is essential for preventing teeth from gradually shifting back over time. We’ll also continue monitoring your smile during your regular dental visits to help protect your investment and keep your results looking their best.
