Clear Aligners

Clear Aligners is an orthodontic treatment system that gives you beautiful, straight teeth without traditional metal braces.

Instead, we use clear plastic aligners to move your teeth into the correct alignment gradually. Clear Aligners many of the same alignment problems as traditional braces, from crooked teeth to dental bite issues.

You should wear your aligners at night and throughout the day, removing them only for meals and brushing and flossing. They are virtually invisible, and most people will never know that you are wearing them.

Clear Aligners is available for both teenagers and adults. Average treatment times are 12 to 18 months, but everyone starts with different needs, so your treatment time may be longer or shorter. Our dentist will work with you to create your customized plan and keep you informed of your progress.

Why Choose Clear Aligners?

Clear Aligners has numerous advantages over traditional braces:

Traditional braces require appointments to tighten the wires and check the condition of the braces. With Clear Aligners, you just switch to the next set of aligners in the order of treatment laid out by your dentist.
Braces can leave permanent marks on your teeth, and even with good oral hygiene, plaque can develop around brackets and damage tooth enamel.
Unlike traditional braces, Clear Aligners allows you to eat any foods you want without restrictions.
The wires of traditional braces can poke at your mouth and cause pain and even injury. A broken wire often means an additional visit to your dentist or orthodontist.
