Why Local Families Choose
Clear Aligners

Nearly Invisible

Clear aligners are designed to be discreet, allowing patients to smile confidently throughout treatment.

Made from smooth, custom-fit material, aligners eliminate the brackets and wires associated with traditional braces.

Customized

Every aligner is created from detailed digital scans and a personalized treatment plan developed by your orthodontist.

Effective

Clear aligners can address many of the same orthodontic concerns as braces, including crowding, spacing, and bite issues.

Designed for Everyday Life

Whether you’re heading to work, school, practice, or family activities, clear aligners fit naturally into your schedule.

Are clear aligners right for me?

Clear aligners can successfully treat many orthodontic concerns, including:

Crowded or overlapping teeth
Gaps and spacing concerns
Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
Open bites
Teeth that have shifted following previous orthodontic treatment

The best way to determine whether clear aligners are right for you or your child is through a complimentary consultation. We’ll explain what we’re seeing, answer your questions, and help you understand all of your options.

How do clear aligners work?

Clear aligners move your teeth through a series of custom-designed trays. Each set of aligners is created to gently move your teeth one step closer to their ideal position.
You’ll switch to a new set of aligners at home, every 2 to 3 weeks, according to your treatment plan.
Aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. You’ll remove them for meals, brushing, and flossing, then simply place them back in when you’re finished.
Throughout treatment, you’ll visit our office periodically, typically every 8 to 10 weeks, so we can monitor your progress, answer questions, and make sure everything is moving as planned.

Before you know it, those small movements add up to a beautifully aligned smile.

FAQs About Clear Aligner Treatment

Do you offer Invisalign®?

Yes, we offer Invisalign® as well as Clarity™, Spark™, and Angel Aligner™ clear aligner brands.

Our priority is never the brand; it’s choosing the best solution for your smile, your goals, and your lifestyle. The result is always a beautifully refined smile.

How do I clean my clear aligners?

Keeping your aligners clean is simple and helps them stay clear, comfortable, and fresh.

We recommend rinsing your aligners each time you remove them. In the morning and evening, gently brush them using a soft toothbrush, clear mild soap, and lukewarm water.

Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic.

For a deeper clean, you can soak your aligners a few times a week using a product such as Invisalign® Cleaning Crystals or another aligner-cleaning solution.

How long does clear aligner treatment take?

Treatment time varies depending on your orthodontic needs and how consistently the aligners are worn. Many patients complete full treatment in 12 to 24 months, though some cases may be shorter and others may take longer. During your complimentary consultation, we’ll evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and provide a personalized estimate of your expected treatment timeline.

Are braces or clear aligners better for me?

Both braces and clear aligners can be excellent treatment options, and the right choice depends on your smile, lifestyle, and personal preferences.

If you’re looking for a removable, discreet treatment option and are committed to wearing aligners 20 to 22 hours per day, clear aligners may be a great fit.

For some patients, braces may be the more effective or practical option, especially if they prefer not to keep track of removable trays.

During your complimentary consultation, our ABO-Board Certified orthodontists will explain your options and help you determine which treatment is best suited to your needs.

Will clear aligners affect what I can eat?

Unlike braces, clear aligners don’t come with food restrictions.

You’ll simply remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Once you’re finished, brush your teeth if possible, rinse your aligners, and place them back in.

This allows you to continue enjoying all of your favorite foods throughout treatment.

How often will I need to visit the office?

Most clear aligner patients visit us approximately every 8 to 10 weeks so we can monitor progress and ensure treatment is moving as planned.

These appointments are typically quick and allow us to answer questions, make any necessary adjustments, and keep your smile on track.
