Clear aligner therapy often aligns your smile in less time than traditional braces, allowing you to achieve your desired results faster and with fewer office visits.
The Clear Aligner Therapy Treatment Process
Consultation
During your initial visit, we'll determine if clear aligner therapy is right for you. We'll assess your oral health, checking for gaps or crowding, and ensure your gums are healthy enough for treatment. Together, we'll discuss your smile goals and develop a treatment plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.
Impressions or Digital Imaging
Next, we'll capture precise images of your teeth and bite, either using state-of-the-art digital scanning technology or traditional impressions. Once complete, these images will be carefully reviewed for accuracy before being sent to our trusted dental lab. There, skilled technicians will create your first sets of aligners, designed to fit perfectly and gently move your teeth into the desired position.
Fitting & Next Steps
When your clear aligners arrive, you'll return to our office so we can ensure they fit correctly and make any needed adjustments. We'll provide detailed guidance on wearing and caring for your aligners. Typically, each set is worn for about 2 weeks, for 20-22 hours each day. You'll visit us approximately every 6 weeks to receive your next sets of aligners and allow us to monitor your progress, ensuring your smile transformation stays on track.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do clear aligners work?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
Clear aligners use a series of custom-made trays that gradually shift your teeth toward their ideal position. Each set is worn for about two weeks, gently guiding your teeth little by little. Most patients complete treatment in about a year, though this varies depending on your specific needs. The aligners work on multiple teeth simultaneously, which often results in faster treatment compared to traditional methods.
Are clear aligners safe?
Absolutely! Clear aligners are crafted from BPA-free, medical-grade plastic that's both safe and comfortable for daily wear. The materials have been thoroughly tested and are designed to work with your body's natural processes to gently move teeth without compromising your health.
Are clear aligners faster than traditional braces?
Clear aligner therapy often produces quicker results compared to traditional braces. Unlike braces, which adjust each tooth individually, clear aligners work on all your teeth simultaneously, which can speed up the process. However, the exact timeline depends on your specific dental needs. Following your dentist's instructions about wearing your aligners correctly is crucial for achieving the best results in the shortest possible time.
What is the difference between clear alignment therapy and traditional braces?
Clear aligners and traditional braces offer distinct approaches to correcting your smile. Clear aligners use nearly invisible plastic trays to shift your teeth gently and discreetly. Traditional braces consist of metal or ceramic brackets attached to each tooth, connected by wires. Clear aligners aren't just more discreet—they're typically more comfortable and can be removed for eating, special occasions, or photos. However, for complex dental issues like severe misalignment or jaw positioning problems, traditional braces might be more effective. During your consultation, we'll help determine which option is best for your specific needs.
How much do clear aligners cost?
The cost of clear aligners varies based on several factors, including the specific brand of aligners, the complexity of your case, and your insurance coverage. To get a personalized estimate for your clear aligner therapy, we recommend scheduling a consultation where we can assess your needs and discuss payment options, including monthly payment plans that make treatment more affordable.
