Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet, sophisticated approach to orthodontic correction. Custom-designed for comfort and precision, they gradually straighten teeth without brackets or wires. Patients enjoy improved esthetics, easier hygiene, and flexibility.
-
Comfortable
Clear aligner therapy uses smooth, medical-grade materials that rest comfortably against teeth and gums. Without wires or brackets to irritate tissues, treatment is gentler, and regular adjustments are not required.
-
Convenient
Because clear aligners are removable, patients maintain excellent oral hygiene and enjoy greater dietary freedom. Brushing and flossing stay simple, and meals remain comfortable and convenient throughout treatment.
-
Efficient
Clear aligner therapy often achieves results more efficiently than traditional braces. Many patients complete treatment in just 12 to 18 months, benefiting from precise digital planning and orthodontic correction.
Our Clear Aligner Process
Our team follows a big-picture approach to clear aligner therapy, combining advanced digital diagnostics, complete treatment planning, and ongoing evaluation to guide each stage with predictability and exceptional clinical outcomes.
1. Consultation and Evaluation
Our team begins every clear aligner journey with a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health, bite, and alignment. We also discuss your esthetic and functional goals to determine whether clear aligner therapy is the appropriate, predictable treatment option for you.
2. Digital Planning with CAD/CAM
We utilize CAD software to draft your treatment plan step by step. This helps us see exactly how your teeth will move. As a result, we can ensure your aligners will have an ideal fit and function. CAM technology then applies the digital design to create your custom aligners.
3. Treatment
Once the design is complete, you’ll receive your custom aligners to start treatment. These clear trays are built to fit snugly over your teeth and will slowly shift them into the planned position. You will wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks before you move on to the next set.

Orthodontic Correction: Simplified and Discreet
With clear aligners, shifting your teeth isn’t our only goal. We seek to create a smile that complements your unique features perfectly. In many situations, Invisalign can also be used to set your teeth and oral health up for other cosmetic treatments and smile makeovers. For example, if more space is needed for veneers, Invisalign can be a great option beforehand to achieve a more ideal smile ratio.
